Day two: Removal of carpet and rear seats. Oil/Filter change. Kustom paint job. Tony and I picked up the remaining two desert racers today. While we were at it we went for a little off-road spin.
“The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. Our Idiotarod is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it’s people, instead of sleds, it’s shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it’s New York City.”
This smoking Ferrari red mini pick-up is a guaranteed head turner.
I bought this truck a month ago because I needed a vehicle to help with my move while I was in between cars but now I am now in need of a newer model with less miledge as I travel a lot. She is a good truck and has been kept in excellent shape by previous owners. Has about 206k miles on it. I wish I could keep her but as I said, I travel every week throughout Texas and Ok. The only negative deal is that when it starts first thing in the morning or after not have been driven for a while, it lets out a white cloud of smoke, but that does NOT effect any other engine functions. As well as moving my furnituer and city travel, I have also taken her San Antonio and she behaved. Cash. Can be easily modified into a M1 tank, cargo plane, or pirate ship. This baby won’t last long, don’t miss this smokin red-hot oppurtunity. Serious inquirys only. in process of photo shot, will send on request.
