Wondering about a buy.

CaptMrT · 06-02-2009, 07:22 AM

I am currently looking at a 67 chevy long box, reg cab, has a 307, three speed auto, a couple of dents. Here are some pics.

Its running good and he is asking $1500 is that good?

'Its running good and he is asking $1500 is that good?"

Geeze, in some ways, that depends on your region, but that really depends more on you... IE: "Is it worth around that to you?"
Why are you looking at it, as a 2nd. vehicle? A project? A work truck?
Are you somewhat mechanically inclined? If not, 'Do you want to be?' because this would be a great vehicle to learn some things on/from. ...And you will have to perform some work on it, sooner or later. (aside from normal maintenance)

From the photos, it looks really great!
I hope this was of some help to you.

Welcome to the forum and howdy from TEXAS. Yes buy it imagine fixing it up the body looks straight this might be the best buy you ever made.

$1500 appears to be a really good price for this truck. In my opinion it is worth it.
I hope this helps.

my dad had one of these with the 307 motor, bought it new and it never got over 10-11 mpg if that means anything to you, these were not cheap to drive.

motor ran good and never gave any problems.

307's had a thin harmonic balancer and it caused the engine to wear out sooner than it should. not a bad lookin truck but id upgrade the engine to a 350 or god forbid even a 305. sorry i dont like the 307

sorry about the delay, I was away at work. still thinking it over, but now I have another vehicle that's making me look, It's a 91 dodge 1500 V8 auto, 318, with canopy and the body is in mint condition except the rear left light is broken. Only thing is the motor need like a $80 dollar part to make run, and he's only asking, $1000 Canadian. Can I get some more insight on that engine if its good and stuff like that, I'm new in this engine stuff but really want a project to keep me busy... Thank you.

The 67 Chev will hold its value much much better than that 91 Dodge. Parts are cheap and available for the Chev and always will be. I do agree, about the 307. One of GM's playing with strokes that did not last long. I think the 307 is a 327 block with a 283 stroke, or that is a 302, or a 283 block with a 327 crank. Can't remember for positive. At any rate, I'd get the Chev and plan on a 350 in the future. No hurry since its currently running good.

I would get the older truck and fix it up slow maybe someday will see it in some trucking magazine.
