Hey, I just got a 1980 Chevy Luv from California, it was in the family. It only has 24,000 miles on it, its in perfect condition, and I'm about to paint it. Only thing wrong is the seats are not in that great of condition. Zero rust. How much do you guys think this thing is worth? And if I decide to keep it, is a 350 conversion worth it?

Thanks

throw up some pics of it so we can see what it looks like and what engine it have and such???

i actually dont have any pictures, cause its still in california, getting painted, and im in seattle, i have to go down and pick it up when i feel like it. it's got the original engine, which i think is a 1.8 I-4 (i think... i know it has the orignial engine). its a stick shift too...

what color you getting it painted?? and how much you want for it?

its getting painted black (not confirmed yet i could change it) and im not sure if im selling it. Ill keep in touch with you, and if i sell it you'd be a good person to buy it because its in San Rafel (Marin). 4x4 by the way

It's only worth $1 so when you pick it up, drop it off to me in Oregon, and i'll even give you $2. lol

its the truck i want lol it would be perfect for me
you should paint it high gloss black and have some black cherry ghost flames w/purple accents and i would give more than 2 bucks for it five at least lol

Well not bad physically in terms of appearance but he drained the oil out of it and was really sick last week and wasnt paying attention and just jumped in to go to doctor and my wife said my truck sounded funny and about that time it popped real loud and died....put oil in it and was able to get it home but very gutless and smoking alot more than usual....but i have to go to mechanic after work today to see how bad it is will post what i find out...but also he had broken into it previously ,the first time he borke the ignition switch trying to punch the lock...i had fixed that and put shims in the door so a slim jim would not work,second he tried to break into it this time he punched the door lock cause the slim jim wouldn't work...and then this thing with the oil......and have filed three reports with sherriff but no results really sucks all this damage to my truck and i cant do anything.....

sorry to hear about your truck. my brothers car got trashed too, the police didnt do a thing. but seriously, do these trucks have any resale value? i never see any for sale.

I have seen several in used car lots and usually sell for over a thousand in lots and have seen alot in personal sales but yes they do have resale value in my opinion.

i think the only time they have resale is when people like us from the site want to get them or if something speacil is done to themonly time i c ne for sale is on this site and ebay but im in lake county and there is probably 1 or 2 hiding in the lake or some bushes and that is it here

ok thanks... and also, does anyone know where i can get better seats? the current ones are pretty used and faded. i'd like to avoid having to fabricate mounts if possible.

you going to sell? or you decide to keep it???

I agree just fabricate them and put bucket seats will be faster and better than to find originally marketed seats for it....
