1979 Lariat Shortbox (non slick Question)

Post by Willy_B »

I know this isn't an easy question to answer without seeing the Truck. And I know everyone has a different opinion on values. Shoot anyway.

What would a 1979 Lariat Shorty with a 302 four speed at 35,000 original miles be going for these days ( $ ). I know these are original miles since a family member owns it. This is a real nice Original! feedback.gif :D

That's a pretty loaded question I guess depending on what part of the country you are from and what is it worth to you.

Considering the originality (is that a word?) and no rust, that truck would fetch 10K any day of the week in this neck of the woods. I have had several dents and have a soft spot for them so maybe I am biased :oops:

And, of course, this thread is worthless without pics! :D

I dunno if it would get 10K here, unless it was showroom perfect, but you might get 5 for it sight kind of unseen. Short/wide Fords are rare where Mark and I live, so that would certainly get you a premium, all on it's own. I would think any dentside with the back wheelwells NOT rusted out is about a $1000 premium, too.
If thats a truck 4 speed, with a bull low, it ain't worth a nickle over a 3 speed in that truck, but if it's a car toploader, that would be a nice unit.
It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

:iagree: No fair asking a WIW without pics. :lol:

It also depends on the color, if it's green in & out, automatically deduct 30% :lol:

I would think,if aman could prove actual miles. Could be worth a small fortune in perfect condition. Interior wear, body, no paint work ,a/c,motor,trans., ect. Even at over one hundred thousand miles ,134k would be more believable. and is still low for mileage. A humble guess $ 3000 to $10000
Its only worth what the next man will give you for it!
And how much time you want jack with it!
