I think someone should buy it on the East coast and make the drive back.

What an adventure you and Rob had!

Dang. Thats the same price as a genuine Dirk Digglar Corvette (less the gold chains). This probably has more power though....

Just messaged a buddy here in Livermore.....

Scott,
what do you need from the part out?

I'm kinda interested here Flash ( I didn't know we were neighbors until Mike texted me). I've made some hauls with my flat trailer to Tennessee (a couple), Reno (more than a couple), Denver, etc. What's nice about this little guy is I can still go 70. Stinkin' California has the tow speed restriction.:BlahBlah:

Price lowered to $6995.

"What's it gonna take to get you in this truck today?"

I'd love to see what Ironworks or Roadster Shop could do with this truck and Weld's checkbook.

If comedy sold vehicles, this one would be gone already...or if it was a farm truck. :unibrow:

Exactly, We build farm trucks not tow trucks. We have to draw the line some where.

Congrats on the sale.

Oddly, I now find myself needing to transport a car. :)
