A few years ago(6 or 7 I believe)I spotted this puppy sitting outside a shop here in Anchorage. It was a nice looking c/c dually and every chance I got I'd stop by just to drool near it. 1987 454/TH400 WITH 4:10 GEARS REAR WHEEL DRIVE. CRUISE, A/C,TILT WHEEL, INTERMITTANT WIPERS, P/W, P/DL. Lowered stance. Custom front fender flares that flow into the running boards. Red velour interior ALL OVER!! Full length custom overhead console, custom 40/20/40 front seat, rear seat folds flat to become a bed.
Unfortunately, it was bought by someone else just 2 weeks before I was going to pick it up. That was 3 years ago.
Last August it showed up on craigslist asking $3000.00 O.B.O.
I February, I was trying to find a co-workers house in another part of town and that's when I stumbled upon it again.
Fast forward to last week when I finally got my settlement for something I can't discuss and lo and behold $2700.00 later it's mine.

Miles when I got it? ONLY 87,806!!!!!!!!

Been trying to post pics since 7 p.m. yesterday...GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
DAMNED CLEARWIRE!!!!!

I'm thinking so. After all, all the plastic trim is covered in red velour which after closer inspection may be getting removed and have them hydro-dipped
to look like red/blue marble stone.
