I would appeciate some advice. I have been trying to sell my 1954 Ford F-100 truck project. My son and I started it and have done quite a bit of work including rebuilding the engine, rear end, radiator and transmission. This was started as a frame up restoration, so all original body parts have been removed, sanded and primed. Where we could, we have saved and cleaned original parts to be used for re-assembly. Presently, all parts, new and old are boxed and stored and we began to inventory what we had and what was needed to complete it. This is where the project stopped. Our enthusiasm and motivation have waned and it is time to say goodbye to this. I am asking $4000 for the truck. We originally paid $2000 and our receipts show over $8000 additional spent.
I would be happy to sell this for $4000 but am uncertain if I am asking too much. If you read this, send a response to let me know if you think I am asking too much for the project. You can see more information at this web site I put together to show our work.

I'm sure the editor would have a better price quote on what this truck is worth. In my opinion thats a little cheap.

I couldn't tell much by the one photo of your truck on your website. The photo of your dream truck posted is a '56. What did you spend $8,000 on? Before I would give an appraisal I would like to see detail shots of the cab, etc... Contact me direct at john.gilbert@sourceinterlink.com.

To be honest I would start off asking for more then you really want for it and work your way down until you sell it, that way you don't end up getting less then it's worth.

By the way, I looked around on the site provided, is the rebuilt motor the original inline Six?
