At the time of appraisal in August 2010, the value of the vehicle was put... at 44,000. Included below is an inspection/appraisal performed on the vehicle. Nine years later, the inspection, as it pertains to condition of the vehicle, holds accurate today. The MSD EFI Ignition system was added by the previous owner as indicated in several of the pictures (original boxes in truck) of the engine compartment. The radio is not the original Pontiac radio but it is fully functional.
