Not mine! I just stumbled across this on my local FB Marketplace however, and figured some of you might be interested:

Some initial notes:
- Pulled the VIN via a license plate search: JT3HJ85JXT0134183
- Paint is obviously not great, but I've definitely seen worse. Same goes for the interior as well
- The current aftermarket wheels are a crime against the 4x4 gods and I imagine anyone planning to use this 80 for it's intended purpose would need to immediately install a more sensible wheel + tire combo
- Seller claims to currently have no title. Apparently the vehicle was bequeathed by a family friend, and the seller could not find the title, but claims they will get it once he gets the friend's death certificate
- Aftermarket stereo. That isn't my thing and I don't know much about them to be honest, but the setup looks extensive for better or for worse
- Seller claims the vehicle "needs some work", which they describe as a "front alignment" and "normal vehicle care".
- Not triple locked, cloth, a rare color, 40th CE, and/or any of those other extra desirable specs from what I can tell
Personally, I was at first really interested in this vehicle, as it's local to me and only $3K, but then I started to think about how I'd probably be out an immediate extra $2.5K, likely a little more, to fix the wheel/tire combo (I'm figuring around $500 per a new steely + decent A/T tire times 5 wheels/tires), the fact there is the problem of the missing title, I can't speak to the last real owner, and the fact it sounds like it's going to need some other, potentially expensive stuff as well. For me personally, that's just a bit too much - I feel like I'd rather buy a cleaner, more ready to go truck from a Mud member for more $ upfront. But I imagine this will appeal to many others, and I wouldn't be shocked (assuming there is nothing else majorly wrong with it) if it was gone within a couple days. Hopefully to a member of this forum who's looking for something like this and isn't afraid of a missing title!
