Dunno what this guy actually has, but anyone needing parts might want to contact him. For the $600 asking price, I expect you might get a lot of parts: http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5792069690.html

Sow’s Ear continued: (fat fingered off the post). Anyway the eBay winning Best Offer wanted to back out when I told him (keep your big mouth shut) it would need a minor weld for the transmission mount nose bracket to the torsion tube, so I just said “Whats your best offer” so I took a $651.00 loss.
