    Default $140k Series II

    Thought y'all might like to see how the value of these trucks has risen. I guess with the Orvis truck climbing...

    I understand the type of money it takes to create a vehicle like that, but the price still seems a little high.

    I see better fit and finish on my 1965 exMoD survivor, than on some of the parts of that truck. At that price, I'd expect everything to look brand spankin' new! So basically it's a joke...

    Agreed, Can't imagine what this guy is thinking asking that. It really doesn't seem that special actually..

    You can buy this one for half the money and get a complimentary NAS110 thrown in.

    Even worse! That duct tape is on the intake! The heater has black pvc on the interior!!
    However, having said that, some (note "some") of the workmanship is nice. For instance, the oil cooler up under the right wing is nice. The wiring looks pretty nice also with the relays and fuses. For 140K, seems like circuit breakers could have been worked in tho.
    I'd love to know how much money was expended for the the brand new motor. Its nice!
    My $0.02.

    '91 RRC, SWB (tuned up quite nicely, new water pump, needs radiator repaired or replaced and brakes!) Sold😔
    '74 S III, diesel, 109, rhd, hard top
    (patiently awaiting cummings 4bt, nv 4500, and np200!)
    Finally IN PROGRESS!! Sold😖
