$58k with a salvage title?!?!! Come onnnnn

 

[ksrunner]

yup. On consignment with the dealer. Had some good front left damage from accident, then fire damage when something next to it in the salvage lot went up in flames.

Kind of looks like it may have the same fire tempered tires on it, with the exception of moving the spare to the front left and getting a new spare.

It's a nice looking FST, that's for sure. But they are asking top dollar for a clean titled rig.

It would be worth it to the current owner to clear the title or get a rebuilt status.

From google and the state this rig is in:

In North Carolina, a wrecked vehicle whose cost of damage is 75% or more than what it's worth can be issued a salvage title from the DMV.

The damage must have been pretty bad. Also no mention of salvage title in the ad. How do you know this @ksrunner?

It's my old truck, and @Kmall before me. It was totaled in MD, and it also had fire damage from something next to it at the tow yard catching on fire prior to being moved to a body shop. His for sale thread is linked up above and has pictures of the prior restoration. Also a link to a build thread here previously as well. It's not an FST. I still have the hardtop.

Love how they suggest you can finance it for only $477/month... for 15 years. That would be almost $100k!

It's been discounted to 56K. Crashed, burned, no title. For 56 grand. A bargain. "The bigger the humbug, the better people will like it." P. T. Barnum
