Selling Luck the Truck. 1985 GMC High Sierra 4.3L LWB Org 32K miles. Dual Tanker.
My wife won the bid 2 yrs ago from an estate sale in Old Town Huntsville with 29K miles, and it hadn’t run in 23 yrs. Purchased new from Jerry Damson in 85, so it never left Huntsville…zero rust! I kept it as original as possible and unmolested… Drives and runs great.
** This truck is rare as the paint is a one-year-only factory custom.
RESEARCH: A 1985 Chevrolet C/K 1500 (square-body) with only 32,000 original miles and “custom factory paint YZ” is a strong collector example, especially if it’s well-preserved, rust-free, and documented. Impact of “Custom Factory Paint YZ” “YZ” appears to refer to a factory two-tone or specific color code option (possibly involving Oxford White or a 1985-unique scheme like certain Silverado packages). Factory two-tones from this era add appeal and originality value, but aren’t extremely rare. If the paint is original, glossy, and undamaged (no fading, clear coat issues, or overspray), it boosts value significantly.
A fresh professional repaint (even high-quality one) usually lowers it compared to untouched factory paint. Key Value Factors & Nuances Condition tiers:
#1 Concours/Show: $70k+ (perfect original or flawless restoration).
#2 Excellent: $45k–$65k (your likely range with 32k miles).
#3 Good driver: $30k–$45k.
#4 Fair/project: Under $25k
Price: $20,000
