that poor square body

ringger14 · 01-26-2012, 12:11 AM

Wow, the price is CRAZY!

Hulk Will Smash · 01-26-2012, 01:53 AM

Probably has 10k in the shocks. Those offload trucks are BIG money... Had a local trophy truck shop quote me $5k for a (nice) street cage in my camaro...

Gee, I thought about doing it to my '78, until I read above...

TheApocalyptican · 01-26-2012, 03:33 AM

It was for sale 6 months or so ago. Wonder if it didn't sell, or if it's being resold?

KQQL IT · 01-26-2012, 03:49 AM

Whether or not it has the money in it. Finding someone to Buy it will take a lot more than an eBay posting...

It's just my opinion. Heck I know some people must like the way it looks.

That's not a bad price for a baja race truck. There is probably around 100K wrapped up in it.

Hulk Will Smash · 01-27-2012, 12:53 PM

I really like it and a Baja class win is a big deal. A lot of history in that truck. Heck you can't shake a stick at a no-name "brass tag" Camaro (trans-am raced) for under $200k... It's a shame there's not much of a vintage offroad scene beyond the Garner Olds Banshee and Parnelli's Olympia beer Bronco.

I think that is a sweet truck, and can definitely justify the cost. Offroad suspension and components are very pricey.

manimal · 01-27-2012, 01:32 PM

Now THAT is a truck! I LOVE pre-runners,race trucks and 4wds. And YES that is a VERY fair price for it. That truck is the very description of BADASS!

john_p · 01-27-2012, 02:13 PM

i was going to buy two of those but he only had the one.. 50 grand? i don't see 30 in that rig.. guess each to his own..

lonestarluck · 01-27-2012, 02:46 PM

Wish I had the cash, I'd jump on it! That's a well built truck, not everybody's cup of tea but..... That's what's so great about being free to blow your own money on anything you wish! Hahaha

Hulk Will Smash · 01-27-2012, 07:59 PM

What do you guys think it would cost to buy the chromo tube to make that chassis? I mean before you even paid anyone to cut bend and weld it? Not ball busting, seriously just kind of thinking aloud.

When I was looking at moving from production car racing to tube cars, a very well known race team down in Escondido contacted me about their Reilly copy trans am chassis. They wanted over $80k for a bare chassis. Just the tubes... Without a single bolt on part.

You're normal everyday joe doesn't have a clue how really insanely expensive racing is... That's why I have my old square and a bunch of skateboards and Bmx bikes now!
