Nicer than anything we all started with.
Curious to see what it goes for

Here's the CL add. Gives you an idea of the reserve price.

Re: 53 GMC Burb on Ebay

I agree with Iceburgh on price. Thought yours was about this nice when you started on it?

Drive it or build it, looks pretty nice.

Ratpin, thanks for finding the CL ad.

Re: 53 GMC Burb on Ebay

Its at its realistic price on eBay now considering it needs a full restoration.

Rear doors and rear fenders were not...also found a ton of plastic in the roof.

Not to say this does or doesnt, primer hides so much in pictures it is hard to tell.
I will say this I have seen Burbs and panels ( more around here) prices go up 30% since I have started mine

Re: 53 GMC Burb on Ebay

Bought mine in 04 for $1,400. Talked to seller on this one in Indy and his bottom dollar is $2,500...maybe a little less. Lotta rust down low.

Re: 53 GMC Burb on Ebay

I'm always a bet leery of fresh primer on something that is for sale and especially for sale by a flipper. This might be one a guy either wants to see in person or have someone look over and take a serious batch of high rez photos for a better look.

Good advice. Anyone ever use an inspection service?
