They are somewhat of a rarity. you won't find anybody wanting it but mainly because it is an F-100 which is SOOO not popular. the F-100 is actually a true 1/2 ton the F-150 is a 5/8ths ton and got much stronger axles and running gear.

As another Ford Freak and former salvage yard owner I can tell you a couple of things. In this case, rarity does NOT equate to value. That is, no matter how rare these are, they will not ever be a "collector's item". As one of the earlier people aptly noted, these were goofy looking trucks. I like the '73 to '79 body style trucks (built 2 different ones) but you couldn't pay me enough to have one of these. Let's break down the phrase "F-100 Super cab Custom". We already know what the super cab part stands for so that leaves F100 and Custom. F100 is the light 1/2 ton. Custom is the lowest trim level possible in a Ford pickup. Those years the top of the line was either Ranger or XLT (again, depending on year as to the use of the Ranger or XLT names). A Custom would most likely have power steering and brakes. And being a super cab, it MAY have actually come from the factory with air conditioning. Had it been a regular cab, then it most likely WOULD NOT have had air conditioning. The Custom was a WORK TRUCK for all intents and purposes. Rare? Yes. Valuable? ASOLUTELY NOT!

The popularity of these trucks in the 1960s & 70 s has little or nothing to do with rarity or dollar value (though sellers would strongly disagree) Its about love and loyalty to the make (same goes for Chevys & Dodges) I have 66, 69 & 1974 Ford trucks and none of them can be considered rare or valuable in monetary value. Personally I couldn t care less about how much an old car or truck is worth. I just love old Ford trucks (and yes same goes for Chevys if they aren t lowered, butchered or modified) Fords from 1973-on are terrible rusters. We don t salt the roads in Arkansas yet it is hard to find one rust-free in our humid and wet climate. My 74 is a Supercab and yes they are somewhat rare today as production didn t start until June and within three months, they had changed over to 1975 production. To me, it is valuable from a personal sense but not in dollar form.

I actually would just assume his brain is small. Why would he buy a FORD? Edit: Buying a Ford isn't dumb, just buying a new Ford is. Doesn't he know it will be worth less than half of what he paid for it next year?

I bleed ford blue , but that was a funny looking truck . My wife says that those funny looking vehicles are like me - if you have one you get use to it after a while and you grow to love it. I had a Grabber Green Boss 302 Mustang once , the color was so intense it would slap you , but after a while I loved it.
