Well asking and actually getting are two different things and the 28 K asking may have brought a high teens cash green offer.

Still that truck had a serious amount of "don't have to spend big money to fix" going on with it and paying a premium should mean that you aren't paying twice as much to a shop to bring it to that condition.

The "one of" is worth some bucks when it hasn't been changed away from original in anything that can't easily be changed back but that means you have to keep it as is outside of putting original pieces back on or you blow the one of out the door. A nice jet black or candy red paint job that cost 10K isn't going to work with the one of thing. Kind of like buying an all original Bandit trans am and painting it red with a brown interior . Or buying an anniversary editon Corvette and making big changes.
