Sometimes you can find one of these in AK or HI that doesn't have a premium price. Not the case here-$25K.

Rare, CE with factory 3x lockers. Wonder what it looks like underneath.

 

[Dangler]

I was going to say the same. Salt air do a number on the undercarriage?

 

[FMC80]

It hurts it for sure, more so the closer you live by the ocean. Most homes here don’t have garages. There are so many vehicles here with corrosion.

I test drove a 97, 3x locked CE and the frame and body were trashed. Only 115k miles but it was too far gone for me at only $14.5

Probably not, seeing that it was living in very dry Kona. I suppose it'd be possible if they have been driving on the beach. I will inquire...

If you’re able to hit us up with pictures that would be great. I texted him but I’m on Oahu. You’re much closer

If that was in the 48states I would buy it sight unseen today.

 

[Dangler]

So why not buy it for $2k less than asking, then ship it over? (Just a guess on the $2k for shipping)

is it that cheap to get it here? I was thinking up around 5k. Might be worth looking into then.

 

[FMC80]

@baktasht Yeah, it's pretty damn cheap to get things shipped out of here. Not so much shipping into HI. I got quoted $980 from Oahu to Cali for a 76 vette.

He's not responding to my text regarding undercarriage. Anyone seriously interested should inquire directly. It's possible I could check it out, though being on other side of island it's a 2 1/2 hour drive,

Would the drivers side bolster be that torn up from 94k miles? I guess if you weren't careful, but I usually see it with quite a few more miles.

 

[FMC80]

He is reading my texts but not responding. Must be too busy or having second thoughts of selling. I'm not hopeful for a clean frame, I know Kona is dry but there are places that get hit with lots of weather and waves. If he truly knows what he has and it's in great condition, then they're leaving a lot on the table. Something doesn't add up.

And yes to the bolster. Big asses = more wear.

For what it’s worth, I have a 1990 4Runner on the wet side of the island that’s been here 20 years. Frame is in perfect condition.

 

[FMC80]

Damn it, I misspelled weather. FML

 

[FMC80]

He sent me these.

 

[beetagh]

Quotes I'm getting for shipping all the way to texas, including additional insurance, are around $2500. Not bad. Someone please buy this before I do. I don't need more cars.

 

[beetagh]

And I ran a carfax, its 100% clean. 3 owners. Same owner since 2001

 

[FMC80]

I want it but he told me someone is looking at it tonight. I have to buy tickets and fly out there. It'll likely sell tonight.
The pics I attached don't look bad. I can't tell if the diff has dirt on it or it's surface rust.

 

[beetagh]

Here's the carfax for ya'll that are looking. My wife said I have too many toys. So I'm out. Let us know who gets it!!
