    She is sold! We did a good drive around the neighborhood. Guy is really stoked with it and looking forward to finishing it. It's definitely going to a good home. Truck is now on its long drive back to Pismo Beach!

    Sad face. Really thought I had the top bid there for a while.

    Buyer threw in a half eaten cow. Since I like beef, I went for it.

    WOW! Crazy find! Thanks for sharing that as it is always still exciting seeing stuff on this.

    I sold it to new owner for under half his current asking price on that post as I didn't want to deal with it anymore. I am so glad I had moved on from this truck though. Just so many little things to do still... my regular cab build is way more than enough work as is and I couldn't handle another project...

    Not sure if he'll get 8K for it, but best of luck to him. Would be a good hefty flip for him if that's the case!

    Crazy find though!

    My neighbor with a 1j swapped IS300 got his car denied further legal registration a couple months ago. They were right at the corner of our street - almost like a sting, but not sure that's actually what was happening.

    That is the kind of crazy stuff you always "hear about..." online, but man, to hear that actually happening like especially right around the corner from you is insane.
