$65,000 for a ’56 Ford? I have a ’51 that is freshly restored that I’d sell for 1/2 of that.
Misleading numbers on the trucks; costs were listed in dollars at the time of sale and inflation has not been taken into account.
$2,834 for a 69 Bronco would be $19,273 in today’s dollars, adjusted for inflation. If you have a perfect, undriven minty 69 you could probably get that or more today, but what about the costs of insurance, storage and maintenance over the years?
These prices have GOT to be for “museum quality” restorations! The thing you need to ask yourself is “Does this vehicle rate a museum quality restoration?” Honestly; a $45K OLD Chevy Blazer??
Being almost EMP proof aside; when all the new paint and new interior are removed, The rock-hard fact is that these are old pieces of machinery that are hard to find parts for. If a vehicle’s only use is to look pretty in the garage, it has no place in my garage…
Actually, my ’51 Ford PU is easy to find parts for. They make them brand new, and cheaper than “new” car and truck parts.
Thank you Jim,
Silver should be considered a highly beneficial trade resource, for all. IMO.

On modern collectable trucks.
Look into any model of Ford Explorer Sport Trac, especially the Adrenalin model. Mine is a 2010 Limited model bought new in 2011. I love my truck. Planning to keep it until I rot or it does, which ever comes first.
Of course, it’s going to be a lawn ornament after and EMP or CME. However it will be a classy lawn ornament.
