Dunno - haven't gone to visit the truck yet. He sent me the pics. It is about 1/2 hour from me. Call him - he'll tell ya all about it.

BTW - I've been PMing ya and getting no response. You still check your PMs warmflapjacks?

I saw this truck and drove it and had every intention on buying it. It runs good and holds boost. I did not run data on it (don't have what it takes).

The paint is very rough but the cladding is all there. The body seemed very straight. The B&M shifter SUX and would need to be replaced. The interior is a little rough, but I've seen worse. There IS rust in the hinge area and bottom edge of tailgate.

Few things concerned me:

1. He wanted a 1/2 hour warning before I came over to test drive it. :dunno: When I told him I was coming out a second time to take it up to speed (previous drive was backstreets only and boost launch), he again asked for a 1/2 warning. I'm guessing the things smokes on cold start up? I don't know.

2. The title is in the previous owner's name, so my bank (credit union) would not draw a check to a third party. He did not want to register the truck in his name (remember...I had the bank loan APPROVED) so that the transfer could take place and I didn't have the cash up front.

On a positive note, the Vette wheels (which look like crap on this truck, unless you go red/red, plus need spacers) would sell quickly on SyTy. He has the original wheels - I did not see them - but he told me at least one was fried (bent), and the others didn't look so good.

I was bummed this deal could not happen. I think it's a decent truck that could be restored and make a nice daily driver. The engine bay, btw, is pretty filthy and oily.

Good luck.

EDIT: Renz...you coming to Hooters?

Thanx Renzy - I fixed the date error.

Steve - he mentioned somebody had come to look at it awhile ago but I didn't know it was you. Small world. His shop is like 5 minutes from my house. My neighbor told me about the truck - saw pictures posted at the sales counter. Owner runs a diesel truck parts supply place.

Yep...it was me. I was "this" close to buying it. My credit union is verrry easy to deal with and the rates are amazing, but there was no getting around the fact that the title is not in the current "owners" name. Sure, I could've applied for a personal loan, but the rates would have been much higher than a used car loan.

As it turns out, I used the money (in theory) to replace my aging Forester with a newer one. So, all's well.

Ken - there is a lot of surface rust on the undercarriage...but I didn't notice anything major, like rot. The brake drums and exhaust have been painted gloss black. :squint:

Note - that license plate on the truck is not for the truck...it is not currently registered.

I wont even think of touching a car not in his name in the eyes of the law he is not the legal owner of the truck

Exactly. And he would not show me a bill of sale. My feeling is it's probably legit and he doesn't want to incur the registration costs (read: taxes). I also think that if it's legit, he probably paid very little for it.

Owner called me this evening to update the sale ad - he really needs the money so the price is now $5300 negotiable. If any locals show interest, he is willing to bring it to the Hooters meet this Sunday Nov 9th.

Re: FS: 93 Red/Gray Ty #1145

According to him - he bought it but never signed the title and transferred ownership to himself. When he got it home the wife had a fit so he put it up for sale - didn't see any need to go through the cost of putting it in his name just to sell it again.

Title should be clear and ready to transfer to whoever wants it.

Well, if you talk to him again, tell him I'm still interested...but have a LOT less money now. :cool:

Is it clean? Is it located in PA? By the way, who would sign the title if it is not in his name? Just curious, I am interested in it! Just sold my DD!

You can see my entire write-up on the first page of this thread. I wouldn't buy it without running a datascan on it. I would not call this truck clean by any stretch...it's a project and there are some things added to it in a Mickey Mouse fashion. But it's all there. If you have money to put into it after buying, go for it.

The previous owner has signed the title, but since you're buying it from a third party, you will likely not get a bill of sale.
