"74 Ford F-100 Pick-up Value?

I know this is a weird place to ask but I have not been able to find any info on this. I need to sell my 90 year old grandma's old truck and have no idea what it is worth. Edmunds and all the other places I go for newer vehicle prices don't go back that far.

1974 Ford F-100
1 owner Bought new
straight 6
3 speed on the column
no power steering or power brakes
159,000 miles
Still runs but is missing on one cylinder.

Any help appreciated!

A vehicle of that age is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. Really if you think of it, a 30+ year old vehicle with 150K on it is not worth much. This is not one of the most sought after vehicles but for the right person could bring some $.

Could you post a few pictures of it so we can see what we're talking about?

Now if it had 50K miles, had a perfect body and was always garaged it may be worth a few bucks.

Considering the condition, $500 would be a good offer.

I just looked on eBay Motors, and it looks like $500 - $1000 is what these are going for. I looked at a range of years before and after '74, because there's only one 1974 F-100 for sale there.

Check Autotrader Classics. There are 31 listed F-100's between the years of 71-75.

Here's a 73:

Might be better off donating it to an accredited charity for the tax benefit.
