Robert, your restoration is a beautiful piece of work. If I was in the market for a HUP I would certainly consider it. I am an ex-HUP owner afterall and can appreciate the uniqueness of such a vehicle.
If your truck was in the UK I am sure it would go for a tidy sum. Best of luck with your sale, sorry to see you let her go.

she's a looker....
Thanks Chris. Compared to the C60, this is like driving a sports car. One thing is, that when you take it down the road, it's one vehicle that sure stops traffic. It's just a tough lookin' beast! R.

I certainly won't bother with Ebay...
when it comes to clearing my vehicle collection. It's always a disappointment, reserves are never met, but granted it does get you some exposure. The fraternity knows where and who has the nice vehicles, and for the most part I think the true value deals are done here. Cheers Rob Fast in Manitoba

Rob,
You have certainly "hit the nail on the head" with your advice. Within the fraternity of collectors, prices are usually determined. Collectors know who has what as you say and set the pricing according to market conditions. Epay unfortunately gives too many unrealistic expectations, especially novices or people outside the community. As one fellow stated to me over the weekend, now that eBay has removed listing charges, really there is nothing to loose by advertising items at whatever price one chooses. When people had to pay for adverts, they put realistic prices up right off the bat, hoping to intice bidders and force a bidding war. Unfortunately, when it comes to the restoration business, all too often one puts a lot more money into a project than we gain back. It's a risk that is all too easy to fall into...
