I'm no pro appraiser or classic guru, but I think his description "fully restored" didn't come to mind after seeing the truck in person. Maybe my expectations were too high.

The best way I could describe the quality of this truck was if it was in a car show in my old hometown of 8000 people, than maybe it would have placed. But any semi-organized car show in a big city, they would have shunned it. That's ok, I don't care if it's that quality because I want to use it for light truck stuff around town. I just want to make sure I'm not overpaying for it. So it sounds like to me the consensus is that it's definitely not in the 5 digit range for price.

-PS...love the Barrett-Jackson joke.
