1991 Chevy 454 Pick up; Thoughts on value..?

[Jeff H]

I had a 91 454SS with a replacement crate motor and trans. It was a cool truck, but they aren't really that quick and the gas mileage is not great. I was getting 11.5 mpg in daily driving and got 14 mpg driving out to Carlisle and back. I don't any way that truck could avg more than 14. The paint/clear coat tends to get thin on them like the Monte SS cars from the 80's. The main reason I would get one is for towing capacity. I think the 91-93 were rated for 9500-10K towing capacity. I sold my truck 4 years ago with 30K miles on the motor/trans and 95K on the truck for around $6500. I would say $10K is the max to pay for one if it's really clean. That may still be high in today's market/economy.
