i figured you would pick the caddy as far as which one to run......  one of the best parts about buying one of these at auction is you only need to put 10% down and pay the rest within 30 or 60 days ! |

Nice vehicles. I would go up to $600 or $700 on the truck. The caddy I would go up to $350. The lincoln $400 and I would use it as a daily driver for a couple years. But keep in mind i'm a cheap basterd, so others might be willing to go higher.

both look pretty clean, I would try to check out the frames before I made a decision. Those would be a couple of my favorite 80 and newer cars. You cant lose at around $500, scrap is $200 a ton, plus cats. Pickup is worth $750 or more if its not rusted out, thats pretty low miles on all of them. The engine in the truck would make a good derby engine.

get any of them?, the truck looks good, the doors are in ruogh shape from the pics, exspected, the doghouse looks good, and the bed didnt look bad, if it ran strong and the tranz shifted id go $1200 around here, any thing that runs and drives is worth $1000 to $1500 around here
