Thought I was kidding... 6'2 and big-in-the-middle did not feel comfortable. Still for sale, sort of.
Still for sale, and still looking for Downs (now Scotts Rods) 5-w body to buy, too. Also, be WARY of scammer "dongibbs68@gmail" grrrrrrr! Why people gotta do that stuff?!?!
maybe try again... Now or much later? Kinda wanna drive it to the Arkansas 1-mile Challenge in mid-April, but the Cash now would be good, too... the coupe is calling for more parts!
Back for sale, if soon! Now has about 20k miles, drives EVERYWHERE! Offered it for $18,500 cash with no messing around. That's the bottom. Got another car bought. Meet ya at Des Moines swap this weekend.
Always working on it... new rear brakes and LeCarra wheel now, $19,500. Come buy it at Des Moines Good Guys!
Well, no one has money and I do not want what is for trade, so back to work on the pickup. Gonna upgrade the fuel tank, add air bags in rear so can load it up like a truck oughta be. And so I can haul a trailer.
Made it to/from Louisville, now I am recuperating. Sell truck so can move on to sedan... or the coupe... or the other coupe...
Fenders are fiberglass, but body/doors/hood/grille/box and running boards are STEEL. But, turn signals gone wonky (have new switch, not installed), and need to redo/finish rear wiring and air lines. Temp price reduction to $18,000 cash only. For pickup as-is, before goes into winter storage and to buy another project I found (yah, I have plenty... just getting focused on the last ones)
yup, for sale again, needs some wiring, misc. stuff, but still driving it. Bring yer cash, come gitit.
Still for sale, just haven't gotten back to fiddling with it. Still needs some wiring and tighten the lines to airbags. As-is driver...
More detail shots, new leCerra wheel, new poly gas tank and rear air bags... It's a driver. Needs some work on wiring, turn signal switch to be installed (I have new one). Fuel filler is now at right rear inside bed - was gonna add a fuel door in RR corner of box (bought one). I'll get there someday... or you will.
