Or, I could just be trying to talk you all out of it so I can swoop...  |
A military vehicle could have low miles -- just taxi-ing around on-base -- but get a lot of physical abuse. Navy preferred L6s. Air Force would sometimes hotrod in a big block, especially SAC/TAC.
Looks like light blue was overpainted on Navy grey. I'd say the blue paint and SBC were the PO's idea after the vehicle was RELAD.
