[A/S] Re: Argosy Questions again. 79 auto that can tow 79 Argosy
GO FOR IT.
I often have some who question putting $12,000 into an "old" pickup.
I would do it again. Many reasons... 1st= The truck's age "fits" with
the era of our A/S. 2nd=from my salad days in school, ANYTHING less
than the $28,000 plus for a new hauler is LESS(the smell of a burning
clutch didnt work, or begging/pleading/pandering, etc). 3rd=
reliability isnt an issue... this truck is driven daily and is
reliable(never left me/us stranded in over 75,000 refurbished miles).
And I could go on.
There are enthusiasts who do this work as professionally as one could
expect from a dealer. Our truck was done in Reno, Nevada(lots of
restorers there).Personally, I think they do a better job...
certainly at a better price. I'm not sure a dealer would take on a
project like this anyway... they want that $28,000 +... thats how
they stay in business.
Good luck in what direction you decide to go.
