$47,501... meh. $42K maybe.

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
Oh, so this isnt really even an "original" slantback??? I thought it was.

My bad. Guess "It is one of ONLY 39 manufactured in the world!!!! " is a bit misleading ;)


Sorry all for the confusion.

FWIW I've seen '03's sell for low 50's of late, and the occasional '04 drop below 60, which makes for much better value in my book.

DAMN

'04 below $60K??? That's too bad. Over 50% depreciation in 2 years.

No, it's a factory slantback. Notice how the tailgate piece is integrated into the hatch?




The Calgold models use the existing tailgate from the truck.

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
Whoops.....

I thought Phil was saying it was a CalGold one.

My bad again. But dont listen to me. I cant even post pics of my powder coated rims :o

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
WOW, KBB only gives a private party value in excelent condition of $44.8K.

Guess that doesnt take into account the rareness of the vehicle though.

BlueHUMMERH2 12-21-2006 03:05 AM

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
I think Phil was just using the Calgold as an example since it's very similar in design. But I'll give you credit for at least thinking it was a factory slant at first. :D

I don't know how valuable they will stay/become. There has to be a market in which they are coveted in order for the value to be there. I'm not sure how big that market is or will become.

CP, please let Ken buy it. That truck is the ying to my yang. :) And Ken make sure that the oil filter housing does not leak oil like my engine does. I mean did. :crying:

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
If my memory serves me correctly California Gold manufactured AMG's factory SB shells.

If someone can figure where in Fairfax it is, I will go by and look at it for Ken. I fly into DC in the morning of the 21st. I have a home in Fairfax and will take pics and post.

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
Well, the wife was on here a while ago and didn't mention this or post up, so I guess she's not interested.:(

I think the slantback has more potential in the long term for resale because of the rarity, which means I wouldn't wheel one personally. I'd just let it out on the nice days and hope for some appreciation in the future. Sad I know... Actually, pretty pitifull.:o

I think that, coupled with production issues, caused AM General to halt production after only 40 or so units (some of which were actually reverted into other body styles leaving 37).

Ok now I know! Thanks for letting me know of this guy. Sic sic person.

Either way I doubt I would even have time to come down, But we are planing on coming up from FL to Mt. Trashmore sometime in early spring. When we do I will give ya heads up.

ssgharkness020147 12-21-2006 11:35 PM

Re: Ken...found something for you :)
 
I remember there being a lawsuit over copying the "look" of the shell. I thought the resolution was that Cal Gold got a contract to build the shells for AMG. I could be off, I have not read up on it for at least two years.

Blue,
There were 39 factory slant backs.

HAHAHA, I don't know how, but I missed this earlier. I still have all my teeth!:giggling: Plus I am afraid that I may hear the Banjo's... I just came back from there. Some of them inbreds scare the shiat out of me.

I havn't moved to WVA yet. I am thinking of just buying a place there to go and get a way every now and then.
