Meet Mater. He’s spent the majority of his life in Texas, though spent one winter in Colorado in 2012 from the previous owner. I’m the 4th owner from what I can tell from prior records. Below is a list of all the things done by owners #2, #3, & myself. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on it, but unfortunately need the cash back to put a down payment on another vehicle. This was a 3rd vehicle for my family, and I’m losing my company vehicle in early 2014. I know I could use this as my daily driver, but that was never its intention for me. I wanted to keep the miles off it, and try to finish restoring it. I’ll find another one day I guess. There is no rust on this vehicle, and no leaks. It starts on the first crank, and there is only a small amount of smoke until the cats are warmed up. Besides a paint job for the picky folks ; ) the exterior is in great condition. The interior is also, except the driver seat needs a new cushion and new vinyl panels (I was quoted about $350 for the work). All other seats and carpet are in good shape for their age. No major stains or tears. This cruiser is averaging 14.5mpgs for me, and will do 70mph here in Texas. When I purchased it, I ran a compression test and all cylinders were above 145lbs with only +/- 1lb variance. H55F 5-Speed Transmission conversion - 2010 BFGoodrich All-terrains 32” on black steelies (~50% tread remaining) Bilstein Gas Shocks – 2010 New radiator and heater hoses – 2010 All electric window motors and switches – 2010 (rears are a little slow sometimes, and driver hangs up sometimes) - 2010 New power antenna – 2010 New rear main seal & oil pan gasket – 2010 New U-Joints – 2010 New fuel pump & sock – 2010 Old Man Emu steering stabilizer – 2012 Knuckle seals & bearings replaced with kit from Cruiser Outfitters – 2012 New muffler and exhaust pipes from muffler back – 2013 Old Man Emu 3” medium lift springs – 2013 (just add one more spring to put bumpers on) New speakers and Double Din JVC head unit – Bluetooth, DVD Player, iPod compatible New windshield – 2013 New dash from dealer – 2013 LED lights in dash, back-up, & brake lights Full tune and service performed – 2013 (new plugs, cold start injector, belts, timing, idle adjusted down to 650 5 speed transmission conversion wiring redone and tightened up (caused long morning starts, now starts on first crank everytime) 2 cans put in A/C system – 2013 (blows ice cold and no leaks all year) extra parts – front grill (I wanted to refurbish on my own before I got a paint job), pair of visors, driver side air vent, extra LED bulbs for blinkers (once relays are installed) I have $13,700 in this Cruiser, so I’m asking $12,000 for it. Everyone takes a little hit to pass a Cruiser on. Please no low-ball offers.
