what's a 1972 chevy c20 cheyenne super worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on my research of Classic.com data, a **1972 Chevrolet C20 Cheyenne Super** is worth approximately **$35,000 to $55,000** depending on condition, originality, and specific configuration—though exceptional examples can command significantly more.

## Here's how I arrived at that:

### Market Benchmark Data (C20 2nd Gen, 1967-1972):
- **Average sale price**: $25,328 across all C20 variants
- **Highest recorded sale**: $90,000 for a 1972 Cheyenne (March 2024)
- **Lowest recorded sale**: $1,400 (project-condition '69 Longhorn)

### Recent Cheyenne Super Comparables:
- **1972 C20 Cheyenne Super Long Bed** (original, 1,517 mi): **$44,000** (Gateway Classic Cars – similar market)
- **1971 C20 Cheyenne Super Long Bed** (original, 5,408 mi): **$88,000** (Gateway Classic Cars)
- **1972 C10 Cheyenne Super Short Bed**: **$35,000–$46,000** range
- **1972 K10/K20 Cheyenne Super 4x4 Short Beds**: **$97,000–$330,000** (auction prices)

## Valuation of This Specific Vehicle ($49,995 asking):

This particular truck sits **fairly priced** at the upper end of the market range. Here's why:

**Positives:**
- Cheyenne Super trim (top-tier package with wood grain, upgraded interior)
- Desirable options: Factory A/C, dual fuel tanks, tilt wheel, power steering/brakes
- Recent service work: New BFG tires, dual exhaust, inspection completed
- Rust-free condition
- 4x4 conversion (adds utility for some buyers)

**Considerations:**
- **Modified** – Originally a C10 2WD, converted to 4x4 (not factory configuration)
- **Long bed** – Less valuable than short bed varieties
- **TMU odometer** (21,324 miles showing)

## Bottom Line:
At **$49,995**, this truck is competitively priced for a modified, nicely-optioned Cheyenne Super. You're paying roughly a **$5,000–$10,000 premium** over a standard C20 in similar condition—which is appropriate for the Cheyenne Super trim and 4x4 capability. For comparison, a full nut-and-bolt restored example would indeed cost "north of $80,000" as the seller notes.
