craigslist Armored (bulletproof) 03 in Claremore, OK

Came across this ad for a 03 Armored 100 not my vechicle nor do I have any affiliation. Can definitely tell it has bulletproof glass, non ahc, and dual batteries. Interesting , my guess it's been to the Middle East?

I don't know much - but bulletproof glass.. sounds pretty badass. Would be good for executive protection gigs

Very cool. I bet the 5mpg is fueling the sale...

Yeah it's gotta be heavy, more than likely there's armor in the doors and undercarriage.

I saw this one for sale a few months ago at a dealer back east, and it sat on their lot for months. I want to say the price back then was only like ~$12k, and they dropped it a few times. My guess is this dealer bought it for cheap and is hoping someone in that part of the country will want it. I considered it just for fun, but when I thought about the additional maintenance and reduced performance from the weight to an already slow truck I decided to pass. It's a cool novelty, but it's not very practical in the US unless you're a drug dealer or ponzi mastermind.

I was actually kind of interested in this, but heads up that according to Carfax it has spent its ENTIRE life in Ohio, previously to this dealership picking it up at an auction. So, after 14 winters of snow and SALT in Ohio, the underside has got to be very rusty. You can see a glimpse of that in the engine bay, when you look near where the waterpump connects.

I have seen this truck, it is EXTREMELY rusty. I would definitely pass on this truck.

Well there goes the bulletproofness!
