I have been trying to get started on a M135 and/or M211 restoration for
several years now. I have purchased 3 M135 and 1 M211 for about $300 to
$500. The best one ran when parked and started with little effort.
All the rest have frozen motors and major parts missing. All of my
trucks have homemade tops. Supply line has had several listed lately in
"drive home" condition for $2500 to $3500. A max price for a complete
restoration would probably be about $6000.

This model truck is not liked by most collectors. I got a lot of
comments from dealers at the Dallas MVPA show of "I have what you need
at home, but I didn't bring it with me because there is no demand".

>From what you have told us, I would say $1200 would be a good price for
all three. I would like to see at least one running before I would go
$1900.
