Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Just saw a loaded '72 K20 super on ebay that had the original window sticker with a list price of $6336 (which was a lot in '72). Was wondering if anyone has seen a higher list price on our trucks when new- was 7K possible? Thanks, Kirk

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Man that's a lot, I'm wondering if he had a original type sticker remade with more options on it? My 72 super isn't crazy optioned or 4wd, but, was like 3,300 give or take. That just seems really high to me . Although I could be totally wrong

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Sounds too high to me also. A nicely optioned Corvette stickered in that price range.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Sticker says Bob's Chevrolet, his seller name also has Bob in it. Very nice truck though!

$2680.90 for a 1972, CS10704 or CS10734 with no options, just standard equipment. (taxes and fees not included)
An inflation fighter was $2575.00.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Out of curiosity, I googled a calculator

$6336 in 1972 comes to $36,198.75 in 2015

$2,680.90 comes to $15,316.48

$2575 comes to $14,711.45

Can you even buy a new vehicle for $14k?

Obviously nothing accurate about that. All that proves is the fact that the dollar doesn't spend like it did back then. Also, as I recall, inflation took off big time in '73. Before that a piece of bubble gum was a penny, a bottle of Coke was a dime, and so was a pay phone call... for over ten year prior. The economy was actually stable prior to '73.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Beautiful truck! I clicked the link and first thing I saw was C10 this, C20 that, and nothing about a K anything. Then I see "we" this and "we" that and notice the listing states it's being sold by private owner. The private owner would know it's a K/20. I don't recall these trucks costing that much in '72. It seems to me somewhere in the $4,500-5k range was top of the line. MSPR for a no option K/20 Fleetside V8 was $3927 in '71, I know that. So, it could be possible. I'd have to do the math with all the options

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

According to his price sheet, the truck was 3700 and the options were 2274. That's pretty whacked.

That comes out to $12,991.78 in options....including the $714.14 tape player...

Sorry, I was having fun with the inflation calculator....

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Perhaps somebody can educate me. For starters, the spid and "window sticker" both say it has a 350cid. Fender badge and valve covers show it as a 402. Secondly, Air compressor doesn't look like an original to me, not that it couldn't have been replaced over the years. Third, I thought that though the buckets were optioned, the vinyl was standard. Houndstooth would have given you another line on the spid. Vinyl buckets are a n/c on the "window sticker"
I think the "window sticker" is meant to be a dealer's estimate of a special ordered truck.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

You couldn't get houndstooth buckets back then. Just scroll vinyl

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Guess I should have read closer. Didn't realize it was an engine swap ( only one cup of coffee). Looked at the '72 options book and see where a houndstooth bucket wasn't available. Learned my one thing for the day!

Still a red flag truck to me. I wouldn't waste the time on verifying the mileage. Who would have engine swapped an original 45k mile k20? At least they changed the engine badging. My longhorn has 47k ( verified) and the one thing I've refused to touch is the engine. Other than changing the ochre paint to orange and the factory vinyl buckets to houndstooth, it still matches its spid.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

Someone should link the thread to Chipflyer and ask if the SPID is one that he made. Haven't seen Jeff on here in a while, not sure if he is still making them.

There are a number of vendors out there that will print up a bogus window sticker for almost anyone. This is an example of their fine work.

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

He shows a copy of what is supposed to be an original Scheduled Price Sheet.
But why would it have the 3 dealer added accessories, tape player, undercoating & Warn Locking Hubs.
That would have been on a separate dealers list sheet

Also he kind of makes it sound as over the years the truck has had just a repaint, but dont you pretty much have to take off the front clip to change the engine call out emblems to the 400 emblems

Re: Highest MSRP for a 67-72

kinda funny, we all dream about finding a truck just like this one, then, when we do, we just can't believe it could ever exist because it'd be too good to be true! Ha, I'm very guilty of this. It is a beautifully done truck - not a hack job of an "I want to sell it as a Super so I can make a few extra $ off a shmo" type. It's virtually impossible to tell if it was turned into a Super from some other trim level with repro SPID and window sticker made to match the seller's idea of a dream truck, or if it's the real deal. Look at it this way, if it is a "fake" truck, the seller knows his stuff - he knew enough to leave the 350 on the SPID because the 402 was not available on the Ks. Or, like I said, it is the real deal and has had a very nice resto done to it. But, in the end, these are trucks, not Yenkos, so I'm not against building one like you like it. The 350 on the SPID and the seller's mention of the swap - and the condition of the SPID, lead me to think it's the real deal and was redone well. But, it's so nice, that even if it is a recreation of a dream truck with ordered to match SPID and window sticker, it's so well done that it doesn't matter. How many of us WISH GM put big blocks in Ks?? If this is your dream truck, I wouldn't get too hung up on the originality (or not) - in the end, you'd have a wonderful truck if you bought it. Don't get me wrong, if the reserve is hovering somewhere in the 30's because of it's option loadout, then a bit more investigation might be warranted. But it's a beautiful truck. I asked the seller for a SPID about a week ago, he shared it readily, and also added it to the ebay ad. All I can say is picture this beauty with original white steelies and PO3s. Stunning! Hope he sells it and the new owner loves it. Also, consider this - if he were building a "dream truck" with well-faked documents, I'm sure he'd have added Z81 Custom Camper in the process. Oh way, that would be MY dream truck...! Oh, forgot to mention - I wouldn't pay ANY attn. to a window sticker, they can be remade easily. They're a nice addition to a show truck that is fully resto'ed, but the SPID is more telling. And this one is in great condition, yet doesn't look brand new. Correct font, which is rare, unless chip does it. Either way, gorgeous truck.
