RUN, do not walk away from this one.
It was stolen.

It needs tires --a grand before you can even drive it home.
okay... maybe $700.

It was stolen.
And how hard did the thieves drive it anyhow?
Figure frt end work, most likely A/C /Coolant work.

For something w/ a salvage title, they want a bit.

Plus it's got a 460.
A long time ago in the 70's, a 460 was a fine towing engine.
Now, it's an aluminum nightmare.

#110237785718, nice Dodge C
#120240676429, way nice Clipper, I want it
#320236312474, very nice Dodge C, looks to be fiberglass w/ a 1-pc roof
#230239699577, yes, a Chev, but the truly awful thing is frt end. Feel free to either make disparaging remarks about its looks or tell us whatnhell it's based off of.

Yeah, I AM having trouble with my browser and no, it doesn't want to copy & paste like normal. I think the cat was sleeping on the keyboard again.

Other problems she didn't mention:

- The seller has a reserve on it, which means you're gonna pay more than the listed price for it. How much more? The only way to find out is run your bid up until the reserve is met ... then you're stuck with the deal.

- The seller has less than a 99% positive feedback rating. The only way to get that is to piss off a few people. I rarely bid on anything from anyone with less than a 99% rating and then only after carefully reviewing all the negative feedback.

- The salvage title bothers me too and I've resurrected vehicles from junkyards.

Personally, I think there's a lot better options available that don't have the headache potential of this one.

My lovely barefoot Contessa-

I must agree with them as well- there are too many problems with
this rig. Consider the others, but pass this by... Anyone who would
put a reserve on something with a salvage title wants to unload a
real pile of junk. Especially with the 460. The words "aluminum nightmare" are very real. We'll find you a rig, dear one. And whether
it's Ford, Chevy or our familiar and trusty Dodge, it'll be worth the wait.

Got it, headed out the door.. oh, wait, I've got to look at all these other cool possibilities. Thank you.

And yes, I do read the feed back to find out why the bad. Personally, too, when someone keeps telling me "how honest" they are, it makes me think of Shakespear.... protest too much.

And now to look...

Champion is cool, but I am more inclined to the Concord. I am a size queen, after all. LOL. Seriously, I think I could re-arrange it to my needs better. Although, the toilet MUST be reinstalled, as well as a shower.

LeeAnn, I really need to know, how much weight will that over head bed take? And are there tanks or equipment under the bench seats in either/both dining areas?

Thanks!
