Whats a 30yr old Warn 8000 winch worth?

I looking to find out opinions of what an old Warn 8000 is worth? I don't know the exact model number but it looks like an 8274. Where is the model number located?

It is in good working condition. It also has the in cab cable pull spool release also.

Let me know you think something like this would be worth.

Your first call probably need to be to Warn to see if all the parts to rebuild it are still available. If they are then I'm sure there is someone with a cool old truck that would love a period correct winch to go with it. Post up a pic just curious to see what it looks like

All of the parts were available about 5 years ago when I did mine.Does it look like this????

Yes it does look like that. I'm thinking about selling it what do you think is a fair price for one.

Depends, there is one on JU for 250 bucks. Does it have oil in it, are the gears rusted from lack of oil, will oil run out if it is put in???
