Rembrant Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Good day folks, I just got back from a vacation in Florida...mostly to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, but it just so happened that the first day of Barrett Jackson Palm Beach was our last day in Florida, so I was able to attend. First things first...what an awesome event for a car guy/gear head. There was a ton of stuff to see, and I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Ford was doing "Hot Laps" in 2024 Mustang GT Dark Horse editions (500+ HP?) and I got to go for one of these hot laps. Luckily for me, I got to go in a manual trans car...which was very very cool. This thing was a beast, and I laughed like a kid the whole time I was in it. Anyway... I did happen to see one Bullnose in the tents awaiting it's turn on the auction block. It was a lovely little dark blue short bed 2wd truck. I absolutely LOVED the color...I have a thing for blue...lol. The truck was in very nice condition, but it had a 1987-1996 bed on it...which would have been a deal breaker for me. I wasn't buying, so it doesn't matter...lol, but I'd prefer it with a proper Bullnose bed on it. The truck sold for almost $20K!!! https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1985-FORD-F-150-CUSTOM-PICKUP-277693 I'm a bit surprised to be honest. I wouldn't have pegged this truck as being worth that kind of money. Congrats to the seller obviously...we always want to get the highest price possible. I personally wouldn't have paid that much for it...but my opinion doesn't matter;). I did see another Ford pickup queued up for the auction block while I was there, and I would have assumed it to sell for more than the Bullnose....but it didn't... https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1989-FORD-F-250-PICKUP-273803 It's almost like the prices were reversed...but whatever. That 1989 was a nice truck! Anyway, that's all...just some observations! I must go find that thread where Rick was looking for a value on his truck...seeing this blue '85 sell, I'd have to say that Rick's truck would sell for well into the 20's.

Gary Lewis Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Cory - As we discussed, the later bed will be a deal-breaker for me. But it is a nice truck. As for Rick's Lucille, it is at $20,100 right now, with 2 days and 3 hours left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 As for Rick's Lucille, it is at $20,100 right now, with 2 days and 3 hours left. Oh cool, the price took a big jump from when I looked last. Nice that it's over 20k. I hope he gets his reserve price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
