How Much Is the Monster Truck Bigfoot Worth?

Bigfoot, the world’s first and most famous monster truck, is considered an icon of American culture. Since its creation in 1975, Bigfoot has been a part of many iconic motorsport events and has become a household name.

Its creator, Bob Chandler, revolutionized the sport of four-wheel drive motor sports with his invention. But what is Bigfoot worth?

The value of Bigfoot depends on the condition of the truck and its components. A used Bigfoot can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 or more.

The price also depends on whether it is a street-legal version or one specifically designed for racing. Many enthusiasts are willing to pay top dollar for a piece of history.

The current owner of Bigfoot, Dennis Anderson, purchased the vehicle in 1996 from Bob Chandler for a reported price of $50,000. Anderson then spent over $250,000 restoring Bigfoot to its original condition.

This included replacing parts such as engines and transmissions to make sure that the truck was road-worthy again. Anderson also invested in new paint jobs and graphics to make sure that Bigfoot looked like it did when it was first created in 1975.

In addition to its monetary value, there is also sentimental value attached to Bigfoot by fans all over the world. It serves as a reminder of how far motorsport has come since its inception in 1975 and how it continues to evolve today. From being able to perform stunts such as wheelies at Monster Jam events to competing against other monster trucks in off-road events such as mud bogging competitions, Bigfoot still stands out as one of the most iconic vehicles ever made.

Bigfoot also plays an important role in charity events held by Anderson’s team throughout the year. All proceeds from these events go towards helping various charities and organizations around the world that help those less fortunate than us. This alone makes Bigfoot worth much more than just its monetary value; it is worth much more than even Anderson paid for it back in 1996.

In conclusion, it’s difficult to put an exact price tag on what Monster Truck Bigfoot is worth due to its condition and sentimental value attached with it by fans all around the world. However, one thing remains certain: no matter how much money someone pays for a used or restored version of this iconic truck – they will get something far greater than just money’s worth – they will get a piece of history!
