THANKS FOR LOOKING

 

5 grand is laughable.. take the "$4000 dollar tires" off and put a regular set of GM 4x4 wheels and try (I said TRY) to get $1000 for it based on the 454 drivertrain..

I live in NH (the south of the north)... I would add a Fisher plow and make it my winter beater.. it'd fit right in with the Camaro 4x4, El Camino 4x4 and Fairmont 4x4 I've seen around here

 

Health reasons....i'd be sick of looking at that monstrosity too!

 

4 x 4

Maybe he built it that way so that he could float it out to "Catalina" Island??

Where's that thread...."some people shouldn't own a wagon".... when you need it!?

 

Haha... I was thinking the health reasons were due to too much dirt and fumes in the face while driving.

 

Wow....
Hey Teej,
If I buy it could I have the guy park it in your driveway for a few months until I can get down there to pick it up?
Just think of how envious your neighbors would be.

The guy's health problems are probably due to broken bones and internal injuries from falling when he was attempting to get out of his car.

 

Actually it's not a bad idea.... If you don't mind though, I'd probably want to put it to good use and will invite the local homeless folks to sleep in it. And with a couple tarps, we could probably have a few more live under it.

 

DIBS on the penthouse!!

 

OMG, An I think I heard once that bein' high waz good Guess that jes goz tah show yah that all highz ain't good highzBARF BARF BARF:banghead3:

 

Hi-Rise

Well let me think about this?????????????

Around 25 years ago, when I lived on the east side of Green Bay, I drove around in a '67 Mustang mounted on a '68 Bronco frame. Now that was "kewl" looking, especially when I took my 8 year old son to school and to pick him up. Made him the envy of a bunch of his school mates.

As to the neighborhood that I am in now, well it used to be "blue collar" mill workers with their toys all around the place. Well after they "retired" they decided that "their" neighborhood needed "cleaning up!" So now the policia is kinda picky about what gets parked where.

I am lucky to get by leaving my Dakota P/U and the '82 Granada parked in the driveway so that the wife can park her Jeep in the garage.

I will have to pass on the "honor" of displaying this "jewel" at my humble abode.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'd use it for ice fishing and blasting around on a frozen lake.

 

4x4 wagon

With those tires (floaters) you wouldn't have to worry about sinking if you broke through the ice.

lol,

Oh, it would be floating alright - upside down.
