1988 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top. New York City.
CLEAN NY Title in hand.
PRICE
Alot of work has been done since original posting.
I have spent over $12k
Asking $8750 NOW (with everything Samurai relate that is in my shop, take it all).
I am only selling this because I barely drive the Sammy once every two weeks.
I have a Fj Cruiser that I wheel and my DD, and a Fzj80 that I have been spending alot off time driving and building.
(Just picked up and working on a second Fj80).
I picked this rig up back last Nov. And had it shipped up to NYC from down south.
This rigged sat in my friends garage over the winter until this past April. I finally got off by butt and address some issues it had when it arrived here in NYC. I also registered it in April and got it inspected in late April. I bought this to make it a DD and a weekend wheeler. I put less than 1.5k miles on it since I got it. Drove to and Wheeled it once at Rausch Creek PA.
This Sammy is one off the cleanest I was able to find.
Frame is mint, body has a few very minor dents and ding. Very minimal rust on the Body.
Rust at
rear pass fender. Aprox 1”x6”. Rest of the fender are excellent.
Three/four small rust holes (size of a dime or smaller) in the rear cargo floor pan area, by the gas cover.
These have been cleaned and rust reformed. And painted black.
Had plans to replace all the panels with OEM this summer. I am very anal and very picky.
