C-10's at Barret Jackson
I was watching the BJ auction on Sunday when a blue and white 69 C-10 came across the block. It had a 71-72 grille, hood and front bumper, a 88-91 bench seat. It sold for 32K! The guy who talks about the features when they are auctioned didn't mention anything about the changes. I'm thinking he is not a C-10 expert! He did mention that 67-72 trucks are becoming more popular and trucks that look mostly stock bring the best money.
I agree that most people care more about the finished product than the originality of a pickup. I'm not saying that a documented highly optioned original truck isn't worth more that a similiar equiped pieced together one, rather that a base truck that is original and documented may not bring the same money as well put together fully optioned one that didnt come from the factory that way.
