He would have spent upwards of 10K at JPC, that leaves 15K to get the car to where its at including the purchase price, considering the motor i think 25K is reasonable for that, but not much more
that car is the one of the ex jpc demo car, so its had lots of effort put into it in terms of the turbo setup and engine. The guy who bought it has put alot of effort into it to keep it nice (but it has been used offroad), had it off the road for 2 or 3 weeks replacing heaps of stuff on it like wheel bearings and clutch and stuff like that when he bought it, so you wouldn't be buying a flogged heap of crap, it has been cared for and had many $$$$ put into it.

Well why doesnt the add say that kind of stuff ???
" If governments are involved in the covering up the knowledge of aliens, Then they are doing a much better job of it than they do of everything else "
fair GQ shorty but you can find someone that has put that much care and $$$ into a truck that is willing to lose more money than that!! I wish i did that...ahh hindsight!!
It wont sell.. way too much for what it is.. Yes its well setup engine etc.
.. but the ad just doesnt sell the car.
What suspension? what seats, what else does it have etc. what turbo, what IC, anyother extras? what other tires?
240kw at the Wheels, that would be so highly strung, you wouldnt wanna plan on treating it hard and having it last..

240RWKW is nothing for even a std TB42. The motor will be fine, i would be more worried about other driveline parts if he treats it hard.
TB42's are very strong bottom ends, with full girdles from the factory.
i'm a diesel fan and i'd much prefer the petrol turbo Shorty

i have been on a drive with the guy who owns it and it has incredible power, also looks very nice too, lots of money has gone into the car and has been looked after. Just dont know about those silverstone extreme tyres he ran though

he only wanted $10k...
spare diffs etc...
the only thing he said was if he was to continue comps in it, he would throw it on a new chassis... but apart from that, i was going to grab it :(
he withdrew it today, i think he didnt get what he wanted for it... or sold it off ebay... If that shorty is "WORTH" $25k, that ute is too.
YMMV
TinyGQ wrote:he had no reserve so if you bid at $8k then he would have had to sell it to ya! looked pretty sweet, i even offered him a swap for my bus lol!!!
he would have had no choice, if you dont put a reserve price then you have to take the highest bid. Although he cold have just pulled th pin on the auction the day before or something.
$25 G
and would go much, much harder than my old oiler TD42! I'm certainly not gonna put shit on it! I'd take it home!
