What is a 1961 Power Wagon worth?

[Lhotka]

Does anyone have information on what a 1961 Dodge Power Wagon in fair condition is worth? It is originally equipped except for interior seats and some rust.



The guy selling the thing claims he was offered $200. 00 just for the "Power Wagon" emblems. Is he crazy?



Thanks.

I would start with NADA or Edmunds. I think they have links to antique vehicles, which this definitely is. Any idea how many miles are on it? Good luck

Following the above links is a good start, but IMHO, the more important question is how bad do you want it?



I just bought some stuff that everyone told me was about double the price it was worth. It was worth the higher price to me, though, cause in my mind it was the perfect stuff. Everyone has different ideas on this... maybe you and the current owner can meet in the middle.



Let us know... got any pics of it yet?

I bought my 65 for 600 bucks. I would never have dreamed of paying that much for a non-running truck if it had not been a crew cab. I would say it's value is dependent upon a number of factors... Principal of them being how bad you want it. Any vehicle that runs under 1000 bucks isn't too bad of a deal. A working 4WD truck is easily worth 1500 bucks just as a "wood hauler" or other "work" truck.



However, if you look at the "parts" value of the truck, it's unlikely you're going to find that anyone will part with it for less than several hundred dollars.

The guy is asking $850. 00 and may deal a bit. Sounds like a reasonable price.
