Barn doors and AC? Smells too good to be true.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Sure looks to be a nice one.

 

[RUSH55]

Wow! 60/40 split rear seat with troop seating in the back!

 

[Shermanfj40]

Sweet pig!

 

[onemanarmy]

That 60/40 rear (middle) seat is nice. Never knew that was an option.

 

[gonzopancho]

might have to try.

Had I not just made a deal on a 55 I would have to give this one serious consideration.

Beautiful looking time capsule Noticed rust bleeding through at the head jamb where the roof is welded???

Yeah if you look close at the photos you see rust bubbles in several areas under what appears to be a new paint job, think I would hop on a plane and inspect in person before I bid what this pig is likely to sell for.

Every man needs 3 pigs , one stock for the love of the swine , one built for the long haul to get you there in back no matter where you want to go , and one bad ass 10+ trail rig to appease the hardcore side , .( this is why spouses have so many shoes ) .

If it was still wearing its original paint I would buy it just to fulfill @fj55-100 every man’s list.

I may be in a minority but I think it would be worth more to me in its original paint than “fixed”

Be interesting to see what it sells for after the big dollars seen earlier this year.

Yeah, I think it will be north of $30k, but maybe not the $50k we saw on that Mrs. Baird’s truck out of Texas.

(And yes, I’ve been high bidder on an off for the past 24 hours. Dat Ass with the ambulance doors tho... mmmm...)

Edit: I’ve been outbid.

 

[PabloCruise]

Up to $20k, eh?

 

[fjc-man]

Don’t know if you don’t try... that was me at 15k.

The Aussie 55 I bought years ago was of course right hand drive, standard seats front and back. No third row seating. But the amby doors were a nice feature. Last I heard a friend from Virginia owned it and it needed at least a little TLC

I’m sure there’s at least one more round.
