NOT MINE!

watch out for this one, I have seen it in person(owner lives in town) and its a mess.....looks like Greg at Vintage did a real number on this one.

shame to see a 83 treated like this. I didn't have the heart to tell the owner what a mess it was.

Wonder how it ended up the ass end of an early 70's Cruiser. Taillights at least.

Probably the tallented folks at Vintage Off Road had a hand in that. No body seem behind doors, trans tunnel messed with for some reason . Bed is flat metal...etc etc.

I figured it was an Aluminum Tub but perhaps just flat steel.

I notice not a lot of detailed pictures..

Best part of the discription; “Expertly restored by Vintage Offroad of Flagstaff, Arizona in 2009.” BUT “Key Center Auto in Gig Harbor rebuilt the engine and transmission in March 2011”

Vroom-Vroom...........Womp-Womp.

I love how it’s become a trend to do this..... take junk, fix some, put paint on it and call it a frame up resto and charge around 40,000 to 45,000... it skyrockets the actual usable projects....
