Went up and looked at it last night. Besides the hotfoot, the
hillbilly did quite a lot of..... let's say.... customizing that I
didn't care for. Then he told me that he had replaced the VRO system,
but when it failed it didn't do any harm "as far as he could tell".
The battery/electrical wiring looked like my 8 year old did it. Now
all of this wouldn't have been bad, I love having a project, but he
wouldn't come down to anywhere near 3 grand so I passed!


Those are the things you can't tell from pictures.

Look at it this way - there are others around. I saw a '89 RAnger 318
the other day in good shape that was in that price range.

I'll see if I can find it again.
