Oh man, this guy again! He's been trying to sell this cruiser for a year now.

There is a TON of rust hiding underneath those panels. I wouldn't touch it for anywhere near his asking price! Just my .02

Yotadude, thanks! One more reason why I love this forum. I have only been on the forum for about 6 months. I have not seen this one before.

Is this guy a MUD member? Have any of you guys seen this one in person?

It was for sale in Atlanta for the longest time. Maybe someone bought it and realized it’s a POS?

Yeah, 90% of the time you see those diamond plate quarter panels it means lots of RUST. $6,700 might be a little high but it is a complete running and driving 78 with a hard top and doors (2F, 4 speed, disc breaks, etc.). I would love to see some more pics (doors, inside, under side, engine bay, etc.)

If the price was right, I would buy it and drive the POS out of it !!!! It would be a fun mud truck that I wouldn't have to worry about scratch and rocks, etc. Take it off road and have fun!!

Yea I completely agree, I think it would be a fun truck if you could talk him down a little bit more.

Yeah I think someone did buy it. The last posts I saw of it were on a trailer for $5k..he even still had the hard doors with it too.

It would be fun to romp around in but I'd pay $2500-$3500 max for something that roasted.

Either way no problem @Vexvader! Thanks for keeping a lookout for other members!
