FAQs

What is the most sought after vintage truck? ›

The 1978-1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express is one of today's most widely recognized and sought-after classic trucks. Back in the day, Dodge ran ahead of its competitors with the new addition of the Red Express. The truck could reach 100 miles per hour in less than 20 seconds and travel a quarter-mile in less than 15 seconds.

The term "classic truck" is often used to describe any pickup truck that is at least 20 years old.

Old trucks have plenty of strong points. You may have heard this statement many times, but it is true that as far as durability goes, older trucks were built differently. The design of their suspension, immensely simple engines, and fewer electronics mean that old trucks can keep on going forever.

The 1967-1972 Chevrolet C/K pickup is one of the most reliable classic trucks you can drive. They're durable and reliable enough to be your everyday vehicle — even 50 years after Chevy manufactured them. Plus, they're easy to drive and more comfortable than other early-stage pickups.

Pick up a bargain before it's too late…

The value of American pick-up trucks from the 1960s and the 1970s has skyrocketed in recent years – and with good reason. Enthusiasts appreciate their simple ruggedness and timeless usability; the ability to haul, tow or go camping is just as important in 2019 as it was in 1969.

Start with this, to be certain: Vintage cars on average are still more valuable than vintage trucks. The median value of an excellent-condition truck/SUV in the latest Hagerty Price Guide is 24 percent below that for cars ($17,800 versus $23,400). Yet truck values are increasing much faster.

Antique car definition: Antique cars are more loosely defined as being at least 25 to 45 years old, depending on the organization.

A truck with 100,000 miles or more can still be a worthwhile investment if it has been properly maintained. This proactive approach to maintenance is crucial for ensuring that high-mileage trucks still provide reliable and effective service.
