About a few months ago, there was one in Santa Cruz, from outta state, silver SE7 with cresting 200k. It had all goodies (+ a winch) similar to that one, but with the stock engine....$2800.

If that one has a true engine rebuild....why not, work out a deal and deal with the smaller issues, if any...

You should know there is also a pretty nice Range Rover classic lwb for sale on the motor mile, i saw it on thursday and had to stop by and drive it. Beware though, the owner of the lot is Eastern European, maybe a gypsy, i was afraid i was going to have to buy something to leave the lot
hahaha, gypsies and pikies. Love their trailer homes.

well guys, I'm the proud new owner of a "new" 94 disco. It made the 1 hour and 15 minute drive home without a hitch, and I was looking down on every vehicle I passed. I have to work tomorrow so I'll try to give an update later on this weekend, and I'm sure I'll need some help with some stuff I have to fix. The best part ... I talked him into selling it to me for $2,500! The original owner didn't really "sell" it to the guy I bought it from ... he was starting a landscpaing business and needed a caterpillar but he didnt have the funds to buy it so he offered this truck and some cash. The guy I bought it from had no interest in it and just wanted it out of his shop ... he only did it as a favor to this guy because they are good friends (said the guy cried when he drove off in it haha). By the way, his shop is ridiculous and very unique. Check it out: 4x4 Van Conversion kits

forgot to mention that it came with some spare parts in the back that I haven't sorted through yet ... including a completely new dash that's taking up a lot of room in the back right now ha (the old one is fine by my standards ... has the dash repair kit on it to hold down the curling)

There was a guy on here 6 months or so ago with a truck that color, it was at his shop which looked like that in your pic, blue building.
I do not remember where he was located but the truck was a total loss.
He bought it for dirt cheap, motor had a rod knock I think it was.
Rust everywhere, anyway it was such a basket case he was going to sell it for scrap.
Then he fell off the forum, I really think this is that truck.
