Looks pretty decent and the price is a steal even for not running. I messaged the owner last night and when I checked this morning he said somebody coming at 8am to buy. Looks like all the good deals are gone after just one day.

What’s the going rate for scrap metal?

They sell for a bit more than scrap price with those low miles.

I had a customer who would constantly call me for parts on one of those. It uses a Ford 302 engine.

Thanks for drawing attention to this vehicle. I didn’t realize they were so interesting. I pass by a grey/silver one in a residential front yard sometimes. It’s never moved...perhaps I’ll note the address next time and stop by and speak to the residents when I have time.

I love unique vehicles like this!

Pretty neat. Most shops probably won't touch it, but I imagine a lot of the mechanical parts are parts bin stuff, it's just a matter of matching things up.

very heavy duty underpinnings let down by the doggy powertrain

it makes a nissan patrol look like a matchbox toy

NP229 is a very good center diff it uses a viscous coupling.

There are some gems to be had on FB marketplace, but it requires a serious investment of time/energy to keep up with it..

Maybe the Laforza buyer will show up with a freshly minted certified bank check drawn on the Bank of Lagos.
