Gents,
The "down payment" is for sale, as well as our current house. As discussed with a few folks at MAR, looks like we will be moving in the next 6 months, so shifting priorities at the moment. If we somehow settle on a more reasonable house, with all our wants, then I will keep the 130 but for now it has to be on the chopping block.
I have put about 2500 miles on this truck. Find myself driving it daily, cruises 75-80 mph effortlessly at about 2K rpm. It had 6 miles on the conversion when I got it and still needed to be finished, suspension, electrical, bushings, front end wear items, bearings/seals, and other cosmetic/utility items. I have been able to sort it out but have yet to install the internal Safety Device cage, it will come with the truck New in Box.
$67K
Also have a home for sale in Fredericksburg VA if anyone is looking to move into the area. Can provide details if interested, PM me.
