Heck,I'm having a hard time convincing myself t partwith my 81 G-10 ,that I bought in 1990,for 500 bucks--and its been sitting in my driveway 7 years unregistered!...and rust is taking its toll on it,itll need a main leaf in one rear spring,and undoubtedly a bunch of brake & exhaust work should I ever put it back on the road--right now its being used as a storage shed for things like tires,my moms caravan rear seats I took out so I can haul more with it,etc...be lucky to get 200 bucks if I sell it (if anyone would even LOOK at it)--its worth 500 in scrap probably,since scrap is 230 bucks per ton here now again...
If I had a chance to buy another one like it in the same condition mine was in back in 1990 (like NEW body wise,straight six camelhumper 250 engine though!)--I would grab it...I drove mine to Nashville,NY,NH,VT & Maine many times and I loved camping out in it...the fact I might not have a place to live after my mom passes is mostly why I still have it,really...but ,I probably should let it go before prices drop--going to be hard to see it go after 21 years though,and I HATE junking a "useable" vehicle--if it had a blown motor,or tranny,or really "junk" I wouldn't feel so bad about scrapping it...
I'd buy it if I were you,even if you end up scrapping it you'll break even at least...what pisses me off is you can buy 500 dollar vehicles in decent shape sometimes,but getting them registered & insured costs twice that...thats why I have two sitting in my yard without plates..
