So I am looking to see what people think my cruiser is worth.
It is a '67 sprung over front springs out boarded. Dana 60 rear 44 front both 63" Disk breaks SM420 and dana 300 transfer case 350 chevy all sitting on 35x15.5 SX's. I have a hard top and doors as well as hard half doors. It is not the best looking thing but has no dents or rust. I'm looking for a ball park figure to put it up for sale at.

I think it sounds like a solid rig, but without pictures and a close-up look at the fab work I would be scared to estimate it.

$13.72...where do I send the check? :grin:

Wngrog is right. Without pics or info on how stuff was done, it is hard to say. I have seen trucks built so poorly that I would not want them for parts. If it is done well, it can fetch some cash, even though the market for trucks is a little rough right now.
There are just too many variables to say.

Damage? Paint condition? Tire wear? Mileage on drivetrain? Other extras? Some of this stuff doesn't matter to wheelers, but does effect the cost to the average buyer.

I am a firm believer that only the owner of the vehicle can decide it's worth.

Post some pics if you can.

I always say "It's worth what someone will pay for it". I once sold a "rare" set of Vintage accessory VW wheels for $3k to a kid that REALLY wanted them. I payed less than $400 to get them. They weren't for sale at the time, when a friend asked how much, I told him $3k to make him go away. This kid overheard the conversation and stepped up a week later w/ the dough. SOLD!!!
Were they worth 3 grand? Hell No... not to me. But they were worth every penny of it to this kid. He's happy and so was I.

What's your rig worth? That is completey subjective. Ive seen similar (sounding) rigs for $2500 (baby forces sale) to $8000 (wife needs to think it's for sale). Did either rig sell? I don't know, let's assume they did. One guy scored and one guy got what he payed for. Decide what you want for the rig, post it up for a little more than what you "want" and see what happens. By the way ... I'm in the market for a truck right now. Let us know what you're gonna be asking, I'm sure it won't last long regardless.
