Is it worth it thread...
« on: July 07, 2014, 11:22:46 am »
I'm not sure if this is where I should ask and not sure if you guys would know much as far as market value on the 90 era trucks but I'm looking at a 1990 SS 454 truck.  It is mechanically sound and is original interior and drive train with recent paint, and cosmetics.  It has 67k original miles and is a one owner from what I'm told.  They are asking 15k for it but I'm trying to do some research to see where these are priced at and what not being as it is original other than the paint and cosmetics.   I'll try to get some pictures of it to post as soon as I can.  Thanks in advance. 

I've been searching for one of these for a while and just trying to see if it's worth the asking price.

It really depends where u are.  Location has a major impact on price.  For instance here in NE Ohio I found 2 with around 80k miles for $8k.  So is twice the price worth a couple thousand miles less?

     Nada is where to check older vehicles.  See if this link works.  http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1990/Chevrolet/C1500/Pickup-1-2-Ton-Fleetside-454-Super-Sport/Values

tell you the truth i couldnt see paying that much for the truck. it would be cheaper to get one and put a more powerful motor in it. the 454 is good but you can get more power out of a small block

     Nada for sure said it was not worth it, now I just put in the basic's, so he will have to get it closer to what it is.
