You could buy them new from dealers with warranty but the roof was cut off by a 3rd party coachmaker.

way overkill on the winch. could have used a 2500lb atv winch for $70 and a snatch block if needed..

but the 12000 is definitely faster.

Yes. ASC did the conversion, just like the Mustangs and Capris. Sold new in showrooms.

At the end of the day, it's a winch mounted to the back of an 8000 lb. truck. Wanted it to be able to do more than just haul cars onto a trailer. It'll get that truck out of trouble easily.
