Thanks for all the complements

Nice clean,professional looking job. It might be worth putting an ad in Hemmings Motor News, they have a big circulation and it's a source for people who want to buy unusual vehicles. I'd ask more than 12k, $18,995?? to start maybe.

Beautiful truck man! Love it!

Nice truck. Unfortunately, to the average buyer, it's only worth book value, and that's $5,825.

To somebody who knows the value (not financial) of the work you've done, and wants it because of the work you've done, it's worth more.

As for me, I'd take one look at your price, laugh, and walk away, if you listed it at $12,000. At $6,000, I'd offer you $5,500.

I get not everyone has 12k to spend on a custom vehicle, including you. But anyone who has built something custom is well aware what it cost. This isn't an average vehicle/ ranger and you should be able to tell that just by looking at. But based on the vehicle that you have under your avatar 30 yr old 2.9 v6 2wd Ranger I wouldn't expect much more that to just laugh and walk away.

Whatever you decide to ask is the most you'll get, odds are you'll have to negotiate and you won't be able to go up. I've seen VW bugs advertised for more than $20k.

All in all its just a Ranger I get it, I just like to hear what peoples thoughts where, and give me a good start price point. If i need to wait fine, but with all this stimulus money floating around, and people buying things who knows someone might have to have it. I hope so. Going for another Syclone.

What does my 1990 Ranger have to do with anything? You think I'd laugh and walk away because the $12,000.00 you want for your truck is more money than I would ever spend on any vehicle ever? You're totally wrong, if that's the case. I've spent over $20,000.00 on a vehicle (bought a brand new 2010 Honda Fit in 2010). No, I know the value of a vehicle. And if I don't know what it's actually worth, I know how to find out. And I know that the vast majority of vehicle buyers are average, run of the mill people like me, not custom truck builders like you. An average, run of the mill person will look at that truck, and say "hmm. Yes, that truck looks nice, but it sold new 25 years ago for $13,200.00. The minute it was driven off the lot the value dropped to your asking price. 25 years later, it has a lot more miles on it, it's not particularly rare (not like the '66 F100 that I posted a picture of in another thread), was never anything special (like a SVT Lightning)...... It's just an ordinary, run of the mill truck that somebody sank a lot of money into to make it into something different.

For the record, here's where I got the number I quoted in my original post: https://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/1995/Ford/Ranger/1-2-Ton-Pickup-Flareside-Splash/Values. As you can see, I'm not just pulling random numbers out of my backside.

I know its a Ranger base, but is not a Ranger any more, so Ranger pricing is a moot point, someone shopping for a Ranger won't pay for a "look alike" Ranger

A Ranger forum just wouldn't be the place to get an idea of pricing since its not a Ranger, its in a Custom category

How much for this custom Corvette: https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2019/050219_4b.jpg

Its not a Corvette anymore, looks like a Corvette, lol, but that is not a Corvette, as far as people at a Corvette forum would be willing buy or price

Sorry, Ron, but:
1) According to the VIN, it is still a 1995 Ranger Splash.
2) According to the DMV it is still a 1995 Ranger Splash.
3) According to the automobile insurance company, it is still a 1995 Ranger Splash.

And that Corvette? Yeah, it's still a Corvette.

An average truck buyer would probably laugh at whatever price is put on the F-100 you mention too. For custom vehicles nobody cares about the average buyer as they are not the target audience for selling a custom vehicle.

One kinda big strike against it though, depending on where the buyer lives it would have no chance of passing smog being a carbureted 1995 truck.

$12k probably isn't bad but since he threw it out there he would probably go a little higher. Try to go for $15k?

Since he already has an offer for $12k I would say not everybody looks at it like it is just another boring 2wd Ranger like you do.

LOL

I think you missed the point or you are joking

It, of course, has nothing to do with VINs or body design, when you are pricing a Custom vehicle for sale

Wouldn't have to pass anything here in Oklahoma. Have it trucked here, drive it over to register it. They won't even come out to see if all the lights work and it has working seat belts. Issue me one plate for the back and walk out the door.

I'm actually thinking about it. Have to sell my 2008 B-King. I could do that fairly quick, it's a very rare motorcycle. Could easily get $7500 for it as it is now.
