I don't believe 1200 utes are overpriced.I have had 7 as daily's over the past 30 years and have never paid too much for any of them. My present one is a 71 model and I paid $1800 for it with a reco 1400, 8 months reg and a roadworthy. Utes of any sort always bring bigger money than a sedan and with their reliability,fuel economy and being easy to drive and park makes them very desirable. Probably becoming a bit of a cult thing over the past 10 years has probably raised the price a bit. Thats my thoughts.

Hey mopar, I remember your coupe from a few photo's from a cruise in someones album somewhere. Similar/same colour to my 1000. Depending on the condition of the interior and' originality' of it, I would think AUD$5500-7000 would be a minimum.

G'day all,

I know you're talking 1200 utes but how much are 1000 utes worth? I have nearly completed a bare shell rebuild on one to rat rod style. Also, how much do you think a concourse 1000 coupe would be worth? Interested to get your thoughts.

Cheers
Mark.

Utes has generally always had a better opportunity than the sedan, watching a VS ute from the VS sedan and say how long the HQ-HZ ter held their value. They seem to finally have a death rusty now.

haha i hate jumbucks

Were so many more sold than the Mazda and Toyada equivalents back in the day? Theyre scarce compared.
Plus the fact that your nearest competition these days is a Proton Jumbuck...

Any popular car that is no longer made, means that good examples will fetch more. A fully original in good condition car might save you $10,000 - 15,000 on a rebuild.

Unless you've done a ground up rebuild of a $500 wreck.. you can't imagine how quickly the expenses add up. No matter how handy you are.. even your own time comes at an expense.

i paid $5000 for mine and it is in pretty good nick but it needs new sills, tailgate and a door (door was fine when i got it ,but has a dent in it) and the A12 had been rebuild but i got bored with having little to no power

They are so great, they are a bargain at $5000. I paid a lot more than that for mine.

hhmm i think the ute are priced so highly cos they are the best looking model out of the 1200s ,in my opinion they are but some may disagree
