Willys Pickup
 

I am looking at buying a Willys Pickup. I am ready to buy, however I
was hoping I could get some advice on what price I should expect to
pay. I want to be able to deal with confidence. For example, if a
guy is asking $4000 for a truck, how could I tell if it is really only
worth $2500?

I guess what I am asking is what should I expect from a truck that is
worth $1000, $2000, $4000, $6000, etc...

Rather than picking a number out of thin air (blue book), research the
vehicle in something like the auto/truck trader, and see what similar
vehicles are actually selling for. I usually check a range of 3 years, and
throw out the top ten as greedy dealers, then base the price of the vehicle
on condition, within the price range of what's out there.

Hi Brian,
You have to ask yourself what's it worth to you. To the sellers on
EBay it's worth eight thousand:

I purchased my '62 pickup (mostly original, barely running and in fair
condition) for $900. My parts truck (rough botched up conversion) was $75.
You can book out a Willys pickup on the NADA site under "Classic Cars".
Here's the link: http://www.nadaguides.com/ Ultimately, supply and demand
and what you're willing to pay will determine price.

Decide what you want to do with the truck. Do you want a faithfully
restored original? If so, buy one that's all original with the best body
you can find. If you're planning a repower/conversion, either look for a
truck that's rough (like mine) or one that's already been modified. When
you look at a truck, inspect it carefully. If you're unsure of what to look
for, have a mechanic check it out for you.

If you're not already active on it, I highly recommend the Willys Tech
list/website: http://mvpimages.net/willys/show.htm

Here are some photos of my '62 pickup:
