I'm kind of glad you took this off market. I was tempted.

Did I miss the price?

Looks like a nice rig. Interested parties will want corrosion, engine and undercarriage pics.

Grab a new heater control valve while you're in there. Looks like it's on borrowed time.

People will want to see undercarriage pics. If it's clean, this will go fast.

very nice and fair asking price. shouldn't last long even in this environment.

Please post your thoughts afterwards and let us know if you pick it up. This one caught my eye the other day.

It sounds like your 80 is running properly. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread or not, but it's possible your gauge has been modified. The idea behind it seemed like a good one, but turned out to be more worrisome...

How's this one? I really like that it has AC, disc brakes, a radio, and most importantly it passes smog in California. I don't like some of the aftermarket stuff (headlights, gauges on the dash, bedliner on the floor, ...). There's definitely some paint bubbles in the right rear corner. Anyone...

I bid on overton's red 40 that was just on BaT, but it went for higher than I thought, especially after one layers in BaT fees. I'm keeping an eye on his site and he has helped a lot in my search.

It looks like it was bought in late 2018 at an auction in southern Florida. Not sure if that means anything.

I found the antithesis of everything we believe here at IH8MUD

Thanks very much for the feedback. They're asking $23.5, which seems a little low for a restored rig based on what I'm seeing. I was told that the engine/air cleaner is not correct for a '78, is that true? Is this an import?

Good question. Ideally, I'm looking for a daily driver quality, restored 40. I won't likely be wheeling, maybe weekend camping trips. I'm not completely against a project, but the wife would be. The rear shackle had me questioning, along with maybe some holes in the passenger side floorboard...

Howdy, I'm getting serious about buying a 40, but I have a lot to learn. Album of photos: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmD6U5Er Can I get some feedback from the experts? Thanks in advance.
