1978 W-200 value?
 
I was Wondering the value of my 1978 W-200 (3/4 ton 4x4). It is an Adventurer SE (which was the highest model in 78) It's got air, tilt, cruse and it all works. It is a two door and the interior is almost mint, no rips in the seat or floor. It is not missing a thing. It has a long box. It was repainted once and is now a golden color. The paint is in very good shape there is only two or three tiny surface scratches. There is not a single dent in the body and it is 100% straight . No rust expect a little under one wheel well. It has all of the original chrome. It almost looks showroom ready. It has 4 11 gears and a posi rear end. The engine is a 440 v8. It runs perfectly. It always starts without trouble. It has new radiator and a high performance Elderbrock carb. Nothing wrong with it. It is also automatic. 78 000 original miles. What do you think it's worth?
VERY RARE TRUCK, HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER LIKE IT.

At least, the rear end is a grand alone.

The problem with our trucks Value, is its highly subjective. I would agree with the 5k assessment given by moparted. That being said if you find the right person who has an emotional connection to that vehicle you could get closer to 10k. Never assume a vehicle is worth the sum of its parts, I've dumped thousands into my 79 d150 and its not even in a drivable state at this point. Despite the cost of all the parts on it if I tried selling it today I might get 3k as it sits.

Totally subjective! I JUST bought an Adventurer (Club Cab) that has been garaged for over 35-years with 14,000 original miles (posted pics in Albums). It is literally a 9.9 out of 10. I paid $9,000. Hope that helps!
