I've owned this ultra rare trooper td for a few months. I have too many projects to finish right now including a home and fear I can't get to it until end of next year and don't want it sitting here. I bought it from a gentlemen in Kentucky who had it for a long time and drove it about 1k miles per year. It was always barn kept. The trooper runs with an upper engine noise that can be fixed since it's still running. I suspect it has dirty valves. It needs rear brakes or an adjustment to them. Shifts through the gears smoothly. I know the 4 wheel works, too. Windows go up and down. Tires are good. Radio turns on/off. I have the 5th wheel in the back. Someone might be able to spend a day or so fixing it up to make it really nice. The interior is very clean. The exterior looks very original, too. There is a small ding in the drivers side fender that wouldn't take much to clean up. It wouldn't take a whole lot to get this in excellent condition. I just don't have a place to work on it and no time. I've seen these go for ~ $7k the way it sits. It's a really neat project because it's a rare turbo diesel with the early body style and low miles. Bring a trailer if you buy it and I'll help load it. Deposit is non refundable - required within 24hrs.
