Whoah, I was going to give my son my truck next year as his starter car. Having second thoughts....

 

Wonder what I could’ve got for my 82

 

There is a similar one parked in this guys driveway across town gathering dust and cobwebs. I noticed it about a year ago and it hasn't moved. The next door neighbor said he won't sell it and that the owner said "one day I plan to restore it". It pains me to look at it.

 

Probably $3400

 

Sold for $55k. Better pictures and more detail below.

I know where on is right now not far from me rusted to shit

 

@XPOTRPR
Good investment on the mini truck. Yours Looks just as mint.

 

Those 35s??

 

Wow thanks for sharing. The detailed pics really showed the level of the restoration. She a beauty for sure. It said in the ad that it never had rust. That's weird every one I saw rusted on the side of the bed area unless this truck was stored in Arizona in a capsule with a dehumidifier lol .

 

Probably pocket change for the buyer

 

First 25 grand

Occasionally pushed around on hardwood floors. Never smacked into any other Hot Wheels. Any bids?

 

My Nephew has an untouched perfect 1988 in his Garage. Right at 20,000 original miles. I been trying to buy it for over 20 years.

 

Granddad had the one in the post. Drove it to and from work every day. After he could No longer drive I begged him and family to sell it to me. Cousin Carl took it out to the mud pit one day and wasted it. It sits on farmland rusted away.

 

Can not hit the like button on that
My Nephew told me he would never sell it. If he did he said he would call me first so we could keep it in the family.

 

Those 4 new tires is probably what sealed the deal.
