they want anywhere from 300-500, 300 seems to be the norm. A couple years ago I picked up a whole V8 explorer with a bad trans for 500. I did find a rear with 110,000 disk brakes, 3.55s, limited slip complete for 300 and was able to get them down to 200 shipped to my shop

It don't seem like there is alot of interest in this ride! I hope it is going to happen! I've been working on getting my skids on and just ordered front tow hooks.

I blew up the spider gears then replaced it with a lock right and never had a problem again. It was like that for the 8 yrs I had it then a friend of mine bought it as a beater and never killed it. Here is my baby!

I haven't been to RC yet so I don't know what she could handle. I think my biggest problems are open rears and AT tires. Wish she wasn't my DD even though I love to drive it!
