Trucks
Just like any other classic,
vintage or antique vehicle, classic trucks are specialty items that call
for a keen eye and particular interest. What one person might see as a
useless piece of junk, another might recognize as a potentially great
and valuable classic vehicle - that is, if they know what to look for.
In fact, you would be surprised by some of these classic
car values.
While it's true that restoring
an old classic truck could be expensive, by finding the right buyer via
used car auctions, classic car shows
etc., it's practically a guarantee that you'd make a substantial profit!
Selling your classic car or truck
can be tricky, so keep in mind that pricing your classic car or truck
might take some extra research - websites such as Kelly Blue Book do not
accurately quote cars and trucks 25 years or older. Along with classic
vehicles are specific standards which help to determine its fair market
value. Here, ClassicTruckShop.com lists the Classic Vehicle Condition
and Class Code:
1) EXCELLENT or CLASS 1
Condition: Professional frame off restoration of all areas of the
vehicle, restored to an "as new condition". An original vehicle
with all components in "as new" condition.
2) FINE or CLASS 2 Condition: Well-restored or a combination of
superior restoration and excellent original components; or an extremely
well maintained original vehicle showing very minimal wear.
3) VERY GOOD or CLASS 3 Condition: A completely operable original;
or an older restoration showing wear; or amateur restoration. Also a combination
of a well-done restoration and good condition original; or a complete,
partly restored original with NOS parts. All areas are presentable and
serviceable inside and out.
4) GOOD or CLASS 4 Condition: A derivable vehicle needing little
or no repair to be functional; or a deteriorated restoration; or a poor
amateur restoration.
5) RESTORABLE or CLASS 5 Condition: Needs complete restoration
of all areas; not derivable, but is not weathered, wrecked or stripped
to the degree of a parts vehicle.
Classic truck and car
restoration makes for a great hobby for anyone willing to take their
interest to the next level. In the end, after taking the time to properly
restore your classic truck, you'd most certainly be proud of the turn-out.
After all, no other vehicle on the road would turn more heads than say
a 1928 Ford Model A or a 1937 Studebaker Coupe.
Any car expert would know that
fully restored classic trucks are rare, making them great specimens for
classic car shows, exhibitions and even local parades. Furthermore, most
classic car fans belong to classic Classic
Car Clubs and magazines where by classic cars and trucks can be easily
traded, rented and sold. Be sure to check out the Classic
Cars and Trucks Directory for more information.
