Re: Is this truck worth the money?

Freshly rebuilt is in the eye of the seller in this case, i believe. Could mean anything from I changed the oil to I actually rebuilt it. Not everyone repaints when rebuilding (I do) but if the seller is an older gent and he doesn't watch Barrett Jackson, then it's probably rebuilt a little. Personally, I wouldn't count the rebuild in the value assessment of the truck - Trust No 1, as they say. If it runs, then I'd grab it before it's too late, I think it's easily worth asking price, with the bondo and with the questionable rebuild status. Looks like a new manifold, and maybe not much more. But maybe it's a full rebuild and they just didn't spruce it up. I'd bet on the former and still buy it. I would want more details on the taking say status, but if that's a show"stopper", pun intended, then there are probably other bigger reasons to not buy it also.
