Always fun sharing the trends in collector cars and trucks. Hope all y’all have a great Valentine’s Day ! - Rabbit 😎

I knew this would be a rabbit story the second I saw the title!

"Everyone else is just a ripple behind my tidal wave of used car wisdom." How could you NOT buy a used car or truck from the author of such a declaration?

When the only vehicles you can buy new now are grossly overpriced, overcomplicated, and unrepairable, it's only natural that used ones will increase in value. I'm hanging on to all of my older cars.

My dad had a OBS suburban when the previous video came out. I distinctly remember calling him all excited about the values going up, he didn’t believe it would ever happen…we’ll last year he passed away and I inherited that Suburban. It’s always been garage kept and I get compliments all the time driving it. Thank you for the small reminder of that conversation with him. 🙏🏼

Drinking a Walmart "Great Value" bottled water telling a story of being too excited to stop for smokes. Rob, you sir are a legend!

The "modern" pickups (read 80s through 06) trucks especially 4wds are going to be the next 60s and 70s muscle cars. The writing has been on the walls for years since 07 and everyone stopped buying new.

I almost sold my 94 with a 383 about a month ago. Guy offered me about 4K more than I paid for it. The sense of relief I felt when he backed out of the deal at the last minute was enough to make me to realize I shouldn’t sell it. Thank God for flaky people 😂

6 - 8 years ago these where falling out of trees everywhere for $500 to $1500. Crazy, it’s like the stories from the “old” guys talking about $500 Darts and C10s.

I think late 90s early 2000s cars will really gain popularity. They are the last cars without a big infotainment screen in them. So they're modern enough to have good drivetrains, no overheating problems but the dashboards are clean without a big screen in the middle.

The OBS truck I believe is the best truck made. Enough electronics to make it comfortable to drive not too much to be a Pain

Rabbit is running a big car pump and dump! Lol

The OBS trucks were bound to jump once the Square bodies jumped after the 67-72's jumped. Just a natural progression. I am really glad I scored my 68 C10 before they went out of sight in price. Wished I had picked up a couple short box OBS trucks a couple years ago.

I kinda knew OBS trucks were going up in value. A while back most of the nice OBS’s in my area were being bought up by “cuhs” and they were being lowered

It's the same with similar age F-150s and all ages of Dodge Ram/D series trucks. But I think it's not all nostalgia. When new trucks are selling north of $70K, $20K for a reliable simpler truck makes complete sense, especially with the level of aftermarket customization support available to make an old truck uniquely yours.

Just bought a 99 2 door Tahoe last week as a Daily and sold my Audi, thank god I got it for the price I did!!! Love that big ol truck

Im still driving my 98 OBS I bought 12 years ago when I turned 16. I always knew these trucks were going to go up in value as time goes on and its crazy! My truck will never be sold but damn have I gotten good offers on it just driving around town. Being a clean truck with coming up to 200K mile it gets so many looks driving around. People who have or own an OBS they get it, they are just good solid trucks.

And I bought 8 right after that. Went from $4500 trucks to $9500 trucks and now they are 15k trucks to 20k trucks!

I have a 93 dually that I think I’m gonna hold onto forever

the 92-96 f150's are following the same curve right now watch for those trucks too

I got a 97 GMC Sierra 5.0 1500 with 176k miles on it. Transmission replaced and I’m currently waiting on my new radiator to show up. It has an untouched interior absolutely beautiful and a near perfect body no rust and the only defect that I can see is small a dent I got to fix. I love that truck.

I always loved these trucks. I remember going to the dealer with my Grandfather when he bought both of his. Great trucks.

I had a 2000 Buick Le Sabre limited. I got it from my grandparents and it was one of the greatest cars. I loved how comfortable it was and it had loads of room from the trunk to the seats. A great boat of a car brought to its demise by a blasted white tail buck.

My suburban that I sold to a friend recently sold. It came with or I installed, Cadilac Escallade front clip, front air dam, side skirts and rear bumper, B&M blower on 454 big block, accell electronic ignition, Holley Fuel Injection Kit, custom rebuild on the transmission optimised for highway speeds of 55 to 85mph while towing, 20 inch chrome wheels like a shariff badge star, 255/45 20 Proxis tires, push button 4x4, 2 gas tanks, oversize sway bars, strut tower braces front and rear (makes 3rd row seat strange) custom roof rack with 4 MTB bikes that drop down to you with electric motor and remote, 3ftx3ftx6ft gear storage box, locking slots for 4 snowboards, fold out 4 person roof tent, front valance to help air flow over rack. 3rd row seat with 1 14 inch LCD screen and game cube wired in, clean install of 2 each 14" LCD screens for back seat in the headrest of driver and passenger front, a DVD/Blueray/VCR player, Playstation 3, XBox 360, HP Netbook with a wireless keyboard and mouse that displays on the screens, blue tooth for up to 4 pair of Skullcandy crusher headphones, wireless mobil internet through At&T, Because of the crazy used market price growth and all those add ons I did real clean he sold it for $42,300 recently after buying it from me for $12,500 three years ago

I have a 93 with 174k original miles. No rust. Excellent shape all original

Keep them coming and we will keep on watching. Another great video rob

I own a 96 silverado w a 350. It was my grandfathers. Got 251k n strong. I get offers all the time that make my jaw want to drop but this truck has so much more than money value to me. We worked on it together as i was a kid.

So glad Rabbit is back on Vin Wiki. His stories on his own channel are good, but for some reason his stories are better when he tells them here.

I got lucky with the truck I bought this month. A new guy we got was helping sell his friends truck. The friend wanted 3k cuz he paid that when he bought it. I didn't get much to look at but I got to see and ride in it. The market for trucks has gotten nuts. I can't find anything for less than 6k. This truck had 4wd, which was a priority. My surprise when I opened the hood was it had the 5.4L Triton. Those are really good engines. They can be supercharged if I wanted. There's no AC compressor, so I got time to save up for that. It has 273k miles and runs healthy. The body has some dents and a few rust spots but other than that it's a sturdy truck. The previous owner put 10 ply tires on it and there are no cracks. Windshield is cracked I know how much it is to replace. Bought a replacement cushion for the drivers seat on ebay because you can't buy OEM seats anywhere. I plan to make this truck look nice. Not going to do a full restoration or go crazy with mods or put a roll cage, just clean it up and use it how it should be used.

I bought my first vehicle when I was 17, a 98 obs short bed, I'm 31 now and still have it. I paid 3200 back then, I'd never be able to afford one now. I called it back then too. I had people always say why are you putting money into that old truck? I said by the time I'm old, this truck will be old and worth somthing someday. And here we are. But I didn't build it for the money, I built it out of love. Now I'm blessed enough to own a rust free short bed that turns heads everywhere I take it. Great video 👍

This explains a lot. I have a 97 S10 Blazer that's pretty clean and I keep getting offers at random places. I never thought this truck would be special. It's my work truck

I have a 98 GMC sle 5.7 bought new . Still my daily driver work truck , 318,000 miles. Pull boats and campers regularly. All original . My wife said it's time for a new truck. I said no way , this truck is my other wife.

And I have a 97 that isn't for sale at any price!! I've been offered $13 grand for it.. it's got 284,000 and isn't the best example but it's got the 5.7 and solid as a rock

I just sold a 95 F250 I saw in person just enough to sign the title over. Bought it for $4.5k and had a friend who was local pick it up. He told me he stopped at a diesel pump, was filling it up, and got an offer for $15k. Had him sell it on the SPOT.

this video singlehandedly convinced me for me and my dad to restore our old 96 K1500 sport side bed with the Z71 pack

Hope you’re right about the big wagons! I just got a ‘95 caprice wagon with 58k on it.

Thanks Rob you made it so hard for others to enjoy something that could have been cheaper to own 😁

HE COULD SELL THEM IN A BOAT… AND WOULD THROW IN A GOAT. AND HE WILL SELL THEM IN THE RAIN… AND IN THE DARK. AND ON A TRAIN.. AND IN A CAR. AND IN A TREE. IN A TRAILER PARK, WHY CAN’T YOU SEE? THE OBS ARE SO SO GOOD, THANK YOU! THANK YOU, R U C!

The used market went crazzzyyy💯🔥

The OBS Ford market has shot up as well. Glad I got mine before it went crazy

I love my 89 standard cab long bed. Been in the family since 90 when my uncle bought it from the first owner

I knew I'd hear rabbit have a story of my hometown sometime even if it's just selling a truck here 🤣

Even some of the smaller stuff from this era...and I'm talking 4.3L V6 powered stuff like the Blazers and S10s are gaining a lot of value too. SUVs that are clean and have good strong drivetrains like Explorers and JDM stuff is skyrocketed in value too. It's just nuts.

My boss has one she frame off restored. New bed new cab new everything. She's never gonna sell it but it would probably bring 10k more than she has into it if she did. (it was her first vehicle so sentimentally it's worth more)

You have to be a dummy to see Rabbit walking towards you and wanting your car and holding the same price. When Rabbit wants your car, instant 20%+ markup.

Spot on about daily driver. I bought a very clean, 150k Mile, 99 Suburban LT for almost nothing to hold me over until I could find the right new, or newer, SUV. 8 months later I'm in a total of 7 grand and have everything I want, except for only getting 11mpg. Forget new. An LS swap is tempting though.

Love my OBS. got a 93 ECSB 4/6 drop that's just been repainted in factory Bright Teal Metallic and some nicely polished up period correct Centerlines. 👌

I have two obs'. One was bought by my grandpa brand new in 89 that I'm rebuilding with 120k miles and the other has the one year color of medium blue metallic. Ive got three high school buddies that own obs' trucks. Great trucks that everyone looks at no matter how rough they are.

There is a guy where I live and its an OBS Chevy Truck that apparently its a 454 SS but its a dually. Every time I drive by it catches my attention.

It's a damn good morning when you can have a double dose of Rob telling stories, Rj in Oz, 3:20am

“ I bought an OBS ‘94 truck at that little speaker where you order your food for $1000. It caught on fire in the drive through. I sold it for $10k while the firemen were still hosing it down. I walked to the window and got my happy meal. Bought that guy’s ‘96 step side truck, and drove that home” Rabbit

I was calling it back in 2010. It’s largely my generation going that was dad’s truck. I’ve got childhood memories of riding around the passenger seat of one. That truck currently has 300,000 miles and 90% of those miles I was riding shotgun as a kid in it. As for your point on big cars I actually completely agree. In 2014 I bought one for $650. It was a 2 door 66 impala and in 2020 I bought a 66 4 door Belair for $2000 and it’s my daily driver. When I bought the impala I said at the time I’m trying to get ahead of the curve before the things become impossible to get. In that time I’ve watched the price on the two cars go up. The Belair was already a $5000 car when I found it but I already knew the way the market was going based on the two door I have owned since 2014 that the 4 door was going to start gaining value based on two things. One you can hop in it and drive it every day if you have mechanical knowledge and a couple tools so the pandemic itself was going to have an affect. but 2 the supply of the “cool cars” was going to dry up. I’m going to say it now in trucks though I think late 55-59 Chevy trucks are going to make a comeback here soon too

Most vehicles from the 80’s early 90’s will come back due to the nostalgic feeling with them.

I think rob has hit the nail on the head again when I was in 20s I wanted standard cab trucks now I’m in my 30s with a wife and two kids looking at four door classics. As for obs trucks I have a 95 f-150 4x4 I am the second owner I’ve owned it since I was 18 it’s all original and rust free people constantly ask if I want to sell it and I’m terrified someone is going to try and steal it.

"I think we're gonna see the station wagon boom again...." IT'S ALREADY HERE NOW THIS NEW YEAR! 😳😆

I've always loved these trucks but I can't believe they're selling for as much if not more than they were brand new. I wish I still had my 92!

I'm rocking a 96 Sierra 4x4 extended cab 3rd door. Rust free, brand new black paint with rhino lined undercarriage from door trim down, 20" 09 tahoe wheels, 15% tint all around, new crystal clear head lights, tail lights as well, i just install custom dual exhaust that finishes out to double barrel shotgun side by side look. Under the hood i Ls swapped 5.3l lm7, cold air intake, jasper 4l60e. It's just shy of a child to me, it straight screams it's my daily driver and I'm proud of it. built not bought.

I just sold my 60,000 mile buick park avenue from Florida in ct for $3500 to a kid who just graduated from college. I think Rabbit hit the nail on the head with the next big swing.

He’s right, CA and TX can’t get enough of them. And Mexico just drools over these trucks!

What pisses me off about the used car market is how people on Offer up Spam the shit out of the app with fake offers and they effectively silence anyone who is trying to sell their car used orginal owner.

If it’s a rob pitts story it’s gonna be good

I agree with the big body/wagon wave for sure. I love it.

I second the stationwagon prediction. Especially the 4wd/Awd ones. The 90s Volvos / Subaru / Toyota / Saabs were awesome.

You can't touch any first gen ram with a 12 valve Cummins for anything reasonable. Odometer broke 10 years ago at 400k miles, roof rotted to shit, interior completely trashed, 4 flat tires, "15k firm, i know what i got"

My first truck was a '95 Chevy Cheyenne 3/4 ton. He was solid white, named him Spook... Best first rig a girl could ever ask for!

My first truck was a 92 single cab with the 4.3 v6 and a 5 speed manual.

rabbit always bring the best storys!!!!!!!!

The fact u didn’t get cigarettes before buying the truck, really shows the importance and how much of a hurry you were in.

It’s funny how Rob told all these stories already on his channel lol

Another gem with Rob!

Paid $4k for my 1992 Toyota pick up 22re now I’ve been offered $12k

3rd gen dodge diesels are way up too, I sold a 2005 6spd stick Cummins with 105k miles in 2016 for 15k. I just bought a 2009 6spd with 158k miles for 29k and I’m paying 1700 to have it shipped to me.

And now with Cleetus doing a giveaway of an OBS 2dr, they're about to go up even more, lol.

I don't know why but my 1991 opel kadett 1.2s (US version is a pontiac lemans) in an undesirable color with an undesirable engine, which i bought for €350 when they went for €351 all day long. Left it sitting under my carport for 3 years eating dust. And i sold it last week with a wonky leaky engine and stuck on brakes for 4 times what i payed for it.

Best line in this video? “I feel like the Cat in the Hat!”

Rabbit is literally the only reason I'm still subbed to this channel.

I hope japanese big body sedans go up in value soon too

Considering the markup on newer trucks plus the amount of issues popping up on the newer gen of trucks I'm not surprised the older used truck market is hot

"you know me, I dont like to brag. Everyone is a ripple behind the tidal wave of my wisdom." hahahaha. Killed me

Rabbit could be the day-to-day guest here. He's literally the best!

VinWiki in march 2024. Rob called it. Big cadillacs bringing in big bucks 💵 😆

I passed on a 2wd 96ish short bed with a 454 8 years ago it was factory ordered.

I bought a 2000 k3500 crew cab with the 7.4 Vortec, not knowing I’d have people beating my door down asking to buy it. Haven’t had it a year yet, and had to put a sign in the window saying “not for sale”. It’s a fantastic truck, and does work as a daily driver. I don’t doubt if I wanted to flip it for a profit, I could fairly easy.

I lovveddd my 97 single cab short bed z71. It was soo clean and stock. Ended up trading for an 02 GMC with low miles worth much more but I sure miss it

Would love to have a station wagon. Road trips, sleeping in the back, thanks Dad.

Hoovie, Hang on to that Roadmaster!

As a fellow South Carolinian Rabbit is my hero!!!

I just bought a 2002 GMC Sierra extended cab SLT 55000 miles 1 owner garage kept it has No Rust the body. is immaculate. The interior is the same just like brand new. I paid top dollar for it, which was $20000. I think it was worth more than that. I will keep this truck Forever I love it

Glad i saw this im keeping my 88 chevy k1500 stepside

It hurts because I sold my 92 f150 rust free 4 years ago for 2500 and now one in worse shape is 6k

I bought my neighbors obs single cab. 1 owner he bought it since new. Only paid $1,700. 269k miles. Body straight. Love that thing.

My neighbor has two of them. I tried to buy one but he wanted 7500 with no rockers or cab corners so I bought a 2nd Gen.

I've been looking for a few trucks lately and can't find any of them on the southern East coast. #1 Typhoon #2 OBS z71 with the vortec 350. #3. 2002 True Blue 2nd gen Lightning.

I found a 1990 Chevy SS 454 here in Ontario, Canada owned for 24 yrs in immaculate shape for 27,000$ Cdn and couldn't be happier! My first car I ever saw that I wanted was a brand new Chevy SS 454 when I was young a guy bought 3 of them brand new to keep and sell at his small garage in a town about 1hr from me and I'll NEVER forget the first time seeing it!

A big spike ive seen is a big market for 89-91 bricknose f250 ford pickups

Gotta love those 90's suburbans!

I've got a 1998 Yukon that isn't especially nice, but isn't rusted out (Arizona truck) or beat "too too" badly and people keep approaching me to buy it. even if I get the "right number" thrown at me I don't know what I would replace it with. you can't beat it for interior size and "utility". even with the gutless 5.7 vortec its a nice driver. so say someone gives me 6 or 8 grand for it because they NEED it for whatever reason... i would necessarily need to spend all of it on a vehicle that I probably wouldnt be nearly as happy with.

Old my super clean OBS Yukon two months ago… bought it for $4500 10 months and 15,000 km before I sold it, listed it for $7,000 and sold it in literally two hours… thought I was reaching when I listed the price but now I regret not listing it for $10,000. Miss that truck

He was right about the obs trucks I love mine. 98 silverado z71 lowered with 289k and runs really well has alot of power was an old man's

My grandfather had one of these for years 89, single cab short bed with a 5 speed and it was his plow truck. It never got stuck on his mountain. Hell my ex's dad has a single cab step side
