FEEDBACK !!! if you cant take 10 min to read thru our feedback on the cars we have sold here over the last 10 yrs, then you also shouldnt be bidding on our auctions. Ebay offers our Feedback rating for a reason,... try trusting it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this truck came from a friends body shop. About 15 yrs ago the owner had dropped it off to get fixed. The RF had gotten damaged. The damaged parts where removed and good used sheetmetal was found, but thats where it stopped and for some reason the truck was put on hold and sat since the early 2000s. It was running and driving at the time and the drivetrain is fine. But from sitting, some parts where stolen off it and sat in the Az sun and heat for yrs. It is a very rot free (surface rust only) well loaded (AC, PDB, PS etc...) SCOUT I, Arizona survivor truck. and....a 4x4. Youll see in the some of the pics below with some of the sheetmetal missing, and some pics of it on, so you can see what all comes with the truck. The loose fender and grill will prob be removed and put in the back when shipped. There are also alot of loose and misc parts in the bed area behind the backseat. Its been mostly we gather an original Az CLEAN ARIZONA TITLE IN HAND DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
DRIVETRAIN: factory V8 345 w/ ps and ac. The motor and trans all worked fine, as did the 4x stuff when it was driven to the body shop 10 yrs ago. Its been sitting and protected from the elements (heat mostly) for 10 or so yrs. Some stuff missing under the hood: radiator-ac condensor and a few more things. Some loose parts do come with the truck we set behind the rear seat. (alternator & bracket, pulley etc. (see all pics) Looks to have had factory dual exhaust under it. For some reason the steering was disconnected, but Im going to try and reconnect it to help in shipping. The 235-75-15 tires are almost a new set and in great shape.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics. Very original and yes a bit dry, but a little dirty for its age. The front seat look okay, but bit dusty. Dash is in fair shape, pass side door panel missing. Floors are in very good shape, not soft or rusty. Backseat in tact and folds down. Rear area behind backseat has mild rust from moisture over the yrs from time to time that would get trapped under the rubber mat, but its mostly all surface. Rear tailgate -MIA, gone. Glass looks to be all good except for the ft windshield. Rear top comes off for that convertible feel, doubt its ever been off. (check out all the pics and if you have any questions, please ask) Odometer shows aprox 39k and it could be original. EXTERIOR:the body pretty straight for its age, but this is a 90% rust FREE survivor. Windows roll up and down,The doors work, but the pass side needs fit and finishing of course along with the front grill and fender etc. Rust or rot I should say is almost non existent on the body. Much nicer by comparison to a truck this old from the eastcoast. I believe the yellow paint left on the truck is the original. No signs of rot holes on the original body and rockers. NO front bumper Donar RF fender has some rust at the bottom. Door is ok.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can see .. but old. Looks stock and origina, but as mentioned we need or going to try to reconnect the steering column to the center link etc. Not sure why it got disconnected, maybe to move it. We do have keys for it so the steering is not locked. Tires are almost like new on the stock 15" steel wheels. Rear shocks not connected. Minimal rust under the car, making taking this car apart, almost a breeze !! Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you go, probably The BEST represented TRUCKS on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a non restored car these speaks volumes. Survivors are getting harder to find ! Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, what are they hiding ? maybe their car is not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. We go all over and under our vehicles, better then most sellers, to provide great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping.
