Yes, and that truck was triple locked from the factory, a Collector's Edition, red, and presented much nicer than your truck (no offense, but professional pics go a long way and the interior at least appears nicer in the pics of that truck). I'm not here to argue with your valuation of your truck, but I will be amazed if you get $75k for it on Mud. You need to find the right buyer, and I just don't think they're on here.
Again, I honestly don't believe you'd get $75k on BaT, but it's not my truck and I'm not the target buyer so what the hell do I know? I agree that your truck is only getting rarer but as is, comparing the photos of the red CE on BaT to yours I'm just not seeing it. Sorry. GLWS though and I hope you find someone that agrees with your valuation.
You have a really clean truck no doubt, but it doesn't have the axle code K294 and you can't change that.
The red one you reference is factory 3x locked and had $36.000 in receipts for the renowned shop TLC and was all stock. you can eat off the undercarriage.

You are not going to pull the ARBs out of the axles in a few hours.
IMHO the market has softened over the last few months
Regardless I wish you the best of luck getting you beautiful truck sold it is a germ.

This for sure. Regardless of whether it was always stock or not, someone is going to pay more for the "showroom floor experience" they couldn't afford 30 years ago.

Not to be doom and gloom, but if your planning on putting it on BAT, I would list it sooner than later. The economy is not going to get better anytime soon, good chance of recession and market crash coming in September. That will affect values as everyone will be unloading extra vehicles.

You may be right! However, in the universe of very low mile 80 series with a list of recent maintenance and upgrades this truck has, i seriously question the value of three emblems that refer to something being around for 40 years. Regarding factory lockers over ARB's i can't argue the perceived value there. I think it really boils down to the miles and the maintenance. Most trucks that sell, weather off this site or a site like BaT, have well over 150k miles and are in need of thousands of dollars in mechanical work. Personally if i was in the market for a 80 series i'd gravitate toward something like this one. Being a serious buyer i'd ask for a ton more info and i'd travel to see the truck in person. I was one of the bidders on that Red 97. I'm not sorry i missed it as i found this one soon after with 20+k lower miles on it and i have $9500 less invested in it. Anyway it is what it is, I do like hearing everybody's input weathers it constructive or negative.

I don't believe that to be true, and if the market does get soft i'll just enjoy driving it to the grocery store now and then. This truck will bring the money someday.
I don't disagree with you at all on that, as a rational buyer that doesn't have $75k in cash to my name, let alone to drop on an LC. My perception is that you are looking for a very specific type of person - someone with $75k to start, and someone that would rather have a "new" 25 year old LC over a 2018-2019, and that doesn't care whether or not it's the "ultimate" or "most collectible" version. That is a very limited buyer pool and you are almost definitely going to need more reach than this forum to find the right buyer.
I think you will get a good price on BAT for your 80 as is. IMO if it were completely stock, plus ARB differentials, it would command an even greater price.
