***SOLD***
So the time has come,
I've got too much on my plate and not nearly enough space so I have decided to put this up for sale before it grows roots. Most of you may know the history on the vehicle if not here is the previous for sale listing;
For Sale - '87 "The Red Monster" - WY-- SOLD/SHIPPED as of 11-8-15
This is also the thread I created back when I was working on it;
Gossamer... the saga continues
First things first... there is record of a fire in the engine bay/wheel well area on November 11, 2003. It was not a total loss but apparently no one cared to have the vehicle title status updated from salvage all those years so I took it in and had it inspected by the state of Illinois 3 times and it has been updated as REBUILT as of April of 2016. There was nothing structurally ever wrong with the car, the value of the car back then probably just wasn't worth much more than a replacement oem harness, haha. As you can see from huge amount of info and pics in aforementioned threads it was all completely gone through.
The light bar, winch, and radio are not connected as I had grand plans of making my own bumpers and installing another radio I have. Everything else works besides the speedometer. I just go the flow of traffic or use a gps app on my phone to ensure I'm not speeding too much on the interstate. Truck cruises at 75 and merging or going around people is no problem. Engine pulls like a freight train and it gets great fuel economy. Work got busy and other projects piled up and I never got around to spending the time on this I wanted.
P-pumped 4BT with 9500 miles since rebuild
Ranger torque splitter (27% OD)
Final double overdrive is .62:1,
H55F 5 speed trans
Full float rear & 4:56 gears
37's with matching spare
Trail Tailor sliders bumpers and roof rack
Pioneer CD player JBL speakers (not connected)
