What good is a 56 f100.
I came across an opportunity to buy an all original 1956 f100. The present owner has owned the truck since 1957. It has seldom been stored outside and still runs very well. It was used as a farm truck...

Thanks for the posts. That Belair is a beauty. The truck isn't advertised but I think the guy would be happy getting $2000 for it. Would that be a fair offer? I'll likely park it in the corner of a building for the next 5 years. It may make a fun retirement project. The problem is I hate the thought of spending more building it than what it would be worth to sell. I guess that's just the way it goes with hobbies.
From a financial point of view, many could argue the same about camping. $50K+ for a truck to pull a $50K+ RV to spend a few nights a year away from home. Realistically, the money a RV costs would buy a lot of nights in a motel. We choose to spend the money on a hobby or passion that we choose that brings us joy, pleasure and happiness...not necessarily what will bring us the greatest financial return on the money we invest in our hobbies.
I'd much rather be overpaying to have the opportunity to camp in places such as Yellowstone, Glacier and the mountains anywhere versus getting a motel room close to the action and take a chance of sleeping in someone else's filth.
