[Ridge Rider]

The price is ridiculous, but I want one. Wish it were in styrene.

Thats a bit much, still kind of cool, but still , a bit much , ok, alot of being a bit much

[TheRX7Project]

I don't know why it cost $300k... I mean a new Dodge pickup can be had for say $50k, an old Power Wagon, we'll be generous and say $20k for a REALLY NICE one... I'll even say $30k for labor and upgrades... where's the other $200k coming from?

[Quick GMC]

I'm sorry, that guy got ripped off. Nothing there is worth $300k

[bbowser]

Some people just have too much disposable income.

Cool truck though!

Cut the price by 90% and I'd be interested...

[jas1957]

Pretty cool, but if that guy has that much money to throw around I got a kid starting college in August. He can throw some my way.

The reporter says that ICON is more than happy to bring a customer's dream to life. For the $300k, I would think so.....I'd be willing to bring an idiot's dreams to life for that price too. Just further proof that in this world there are those that have more dollars than sense...

Later-

the engine overhaul at banks alone likely cost upwards of 30k.

plush the dodge 3500,

plus the d200

plus icons labour

the custom interior

jl audio stereo

the suspension wheel and tire upgrade

the driveline upgrade to handle the new power

honestly 300k while not a "steal" Entirely reasonable for the work that went into it.

Maybe reasonable for the amount of work that went into it, but not a very reasonable price to pay for a pickup truck! If I had a spare 300K laying around, I'd invest it in real estate, not some fancy one-off custom car/truck/whatever. Selling prices are down, it's a great time to invest in property. Of course, a truck like this could become a valuable collector's item. You never know.

I wonder what the body restoration alone cost. I could do this for you at about $200,000.

This looks like the same truck that was on Chacing Classic Cars on Velocity channel about a year and a half ago. Wayne Carrini put it up for auction for the owner and couldn't get 30-40K for it, the owner had something like 60-80K into it.

Not the same truck. I remember that show and thinking that I would have paid the 30K for that truck! I agree that the price of this truck is waaaay out there, but the owner hired a company to build his vision, and that costs money. Reading the article he's not concerned about getting his money back. His money, he's happy. So be it.
