i'm going to look at it this weekend if no one buys it in the next 48 hours...
i was thinking beach cruiser if it runs as good as he claims... Rhino liner galore.

for 650, ▓▓▓▓, can't go wrong there. i'd be more inclined to if it was an 85, but still, if the motor is as good as he says, its probably worth it. pull the top off and cruise
probably a much better investment than the other kinds of ▓▓▓▓ cars you see selling for that cheap

If it runs... for sure I'd by it. Heck, if it didn't I'd just use that fact for leverage and by it even cheaper. Seems like a great start for a project truck.
Plus the seller claims it goes up by $200 every year. So in 3 years, it will have basically paid for itself... even if you just let it rot in the driveway.

Not something that would be out of the question in the Midwest.
If i was an 85 i would own it.
It has been for sale for over a month.
My main concerns are smoking of the engine, frame quality and where it is leaking gas...
But it does me no good as a parts truck since i only own a 3rd gen...
Anyone know how extensive a fuel line swap can be?

Blue book goes up 200 every year on a truck that does not run?? I have a few late 70 and early 80's models sitting in the weeds that shoud be worth a gold mine then....

If the motor is good..and it is a 4cyl...I'd buy it for that. I seriously doubt that little blue book claim, though.

Depends on what you intend to do with it. The extensive rust and the major sag in the rear end are not good selling points. Make sure the frame isn't rusting out along with the body.
The truck better suited as a parts truck.

So, you run it for a while 'til the body falls off. Then you have still have a motor you throw in something else that cost you less with no rust. ??? Possibilities of all kinds.
