At $7,500, Does This Project 1967 Ford F250 Have Potential?

While it’s a roller and hence will need to be trailered to a new owner’s home, today’s Nice Price or No Dice F250 also comes with enough extra parts that the move might take two trips. Let’s see if its priced to make even one necessary.

You all astutely identified yesterday’s 1991 Chevy Corvette convertible for the boulevard cruiser it is, and most of you found absolutely nothing wrong with that. A $7,400 asking price sealed the deal for many, allowing the ’Vette to cruise to a solid 75 percent Nice Price win.

We all tend to agree that buying somebody else’s project vehicle is almost always bad juju. What if, however, that project hasn’t yet gotten off the ground?

This 1967 Ford F250 long bed is a roller and hence needs to be somebody’s passion project. Per the seller, the truck’s disassembly has been undertaken, with the removal and breakdown of the 390 CID V8. Along with that, there is a bunch of extra engine parts, including what are described in the ad as 360 and 390 “virgin bore” blocks.

There are also redundant C6 automatics, 390GT heads, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and a set of headers. Based on the ad’s pictures, there’s even more than that. The seller claims that time constraints prevent the actual project part of this project and is offering the truck and all the parts as a package deal for some brave soul with both time and wrenches on their hands.

The truck part of the package looks solid but has a bit of a split personality. It shows clean tow-tone paint on the driver’s side and a scabrous patchwork of chipped-off and worn-thin top coat on the other. That gives it more of a rat rod look from the curb, which may appeal to some. Beneath all that, the truck rides on a lowered suspension and has been fitted with a cool set of Moon Discs.

The cabin looks tidy enough, with a reupholstered bench that appears inoffensive, full carpeting for the floor, and, interestingly enough, on the dash. Extra gauges dangle below that, and in between sits an aftermarket stereo head unit. In front of it all is a Grant steering wheel that looks like it might require a tetanus booster to touch. Everything in the cab—windows, locks, etc.—is manually-operated, although it does appear that the truck has power steering and brakes.

That all seems to make this a reasonable and non-daunting start to a fun summer project. A clean title means the final outcome can be driven on the street with pride. What sort of price tag might such pride actually demand?

According to the seller, it’s worth $7,500, lock, stock, and barrel. They say that while they are flexible on that price, they not so much on splitting up the band and selling the truck or any of the parts separate from the package deal. Does that sound reasonable to you?

This project pickup does represent a lot of work ahead, starting with how to get it and all those heavy parts to a new home. Does that seem to you worth $7,500 to take on? Or is that just too much to make work?

You decide!
