Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1523282 | Brand: Buddy L |
| Vehicle Type: Dump Truck | Material: Pressed Steel |
Look what we have here...this collectible vintage Buddy L toy presents a conundrum! Do we leave it as is (pictured) with it's aged patina or do we take it apart, restore it, and sell for a big profit? As you can see, it shows surface rust, but please note -- the steel is straight! The truck bed has the most surface rust but doesn't appear to me to be through and through. I'd guess it could be removed making this classic truck a perfect candidate for a fun restor...ation project. The hydraulic mechanism works perfectly as well.
I'm going to list it here as-is. If it doesn't move, I'm going to dismantle her and do a full restore. There are some pretty cool videos on youtube that'll walk you through the process. I like "thejunkman" videos.
Reserve is quite low! Trending price is around $125 but my reserve is much lower. Good luck.
