CONDITION: This Cruiser is in very good condition and runs good but could use a little TLC. Let me get the worst out of the way before the best! One of the break lines i changed needs to be double crimped at the end. I used an old single crimper, so the system leaks off every two months or so (an easy fix).There is a dent in the front right fender (both fenders are new however and have only 5000 miles on them).I removed the old headliner so the inside roof isn't so pretty, in fact the whole top needs to be restored. Its condition is very usable but to finish off this cruiser the top and doors must be gone over.The front doors are in terrible condition (the normal bottom section). I obtained a set of older doors w/wing windows several years ago and planned to swap them out, just never found the time. The older doors are not in excellent condition but are in good condition and come with the cruiser. Trans. the original 1st gear has worn a bit and will pop out under extra pressure. I have an extra Trans and transfer case that I know to be solid, it also comes with the cruiser.Cracks in the original dash.On to better stuffIt has 5 new tires that are awesome tires (Goodyear Duratrac)New Power steering pumpNew StarterStainless Steel dual Exhaust back to the rear axal (new turbo mufflers).New Carburetor (Edelbrock Performance series 500CFM 4 barrel)New MSD high performance ignition/distributorRebuilt high output alternator (170 amps)Link-arc Dual batt. system designed for a under the hood welding system (welder not included).Winch; WARN M8274 with 150' of great cable.Aluminum tub from British Columbia, Canada (nice thick Alum) that WILL NEVER RUST !!!!!

I did leave the country for a few years and transfured the title to my father for a short time incase something happened to me but it is in my name currently and has been in my possession since 1989. I am the 3rd owner (excluding my father) and it has always been in the Greater Cincinnati area since it was bought new. The second owner was a young lady that became pregnant and was afraid it would be to rough a ride for the baby thus sold it to me. I met the first owner when he recognized it one day shortly after I had bought it. It has always been a great vehical and a daily driver up until last year when I got a very badly needed small truck. I don't have anywhere to store my old friend and cannot afford the extra vehicle right now. I am half heartedly selling it in hopes that someone else will take care of her and enjoy her for many more years like i have.
