Default Re: 1935 Ford Wrecker

A 1935/6 restored (and quite nice) big truck was passed in on ebay yesterday with no bids. The asking price $6,900.00

I very nearly bought an original 1935 big truck (from somewhere in America) a little while ago. It was a retired Fire Dept truck original and well maintained in every way with just over 50,000 miles on the clock. The selling price was $7,500.00.

Three months ago I saw a '35' wrecker complete but not running (in need of total restoration) sold for $900.00 in California.

To my mind what you are looking at there is not worth the money you have offered.

To take that truck on you will spend at least $8,000.00 assuming you do most of the work yourself. When finished you would have a nice truck no doubt but you will have spent more than it worth. From time-to-time some of us do these crazy things, and it's never a good idea.
