About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Represented as all original and matching numbers with 22,042 miles. Paint looks good. There are quite a few small scratches and touch ups. Two spots where the paint is really thin from being wheeled out. Panel fit is off on both doors. Brightwork has a fair amount of scratches and is discolored around the windshield. Engine bay looks ok with some grease and grime showing from use. Underneath has typical wear for the age and mileage and a little bit of surface rust. Interior looks very good with slight wear to the driver's side carpet and steering wheel. Quite well preserved and an attention-grabbing driver-quality truck.

Market commentary

Sold at B-J WestWorld in 2007 for $19,800 and a year later at the same venue for $20,900. It's an OK Express, but not exceptional and accepting the reported high bid would not have reflected badly on the consignor or the truck.
