IIRC, it had 180K when I traded it in.

I didn't realize these cars were being sold on the used market. Poor man's Chevy SS.

That's not bad.. These little rigs are very capable off road.

Never had a chance to drive one of these but always heard they were pretty underrated.

I always liked the simple, clean styling as well as the little Jaguar V8.

My dad had one and it was a fairly nice vehicle. They're not special enough that I'd seek one out, especially with closer to normal mileage for a car of its age. But at that price with 35k miles, it might actually be a decent choice.

Curious about the "Purchased from original owner days ago" part though.

[Eye of the Tiger]

OMFG it is the perfect shade of baby poop green, and a stick shift!

PROS:

better tow rig than LC.

Would be a zero cost trade, basically

Never lose your car in the parking lot again

Assuming good power (supercharged 454)

CONS:

May cause a tendency to pair a mullet with Oakleys

Mileage probably sucks

Not 4WD

8 MpG highway, I'd guess.

you think that bad? I was hoping for like 10.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I got one for you. It's a "rat rod" because it needs some body work.

I was thinking it has a TH400, but maybe it's a 4-speed.
And what is with putting the old pellet-style catalytic converter way in the back? Isn't that what that is?

It is a 4-speed  (od on the prndl), yes that's what it looks like.

I'm also slightly puzzled by the presence of a brake controller, but no evidence of a hitch.

Seller sounds like a douche, and is Way too happy about his Von Dutch sticker.

Some of those roll pans have a flip down licence plate bracket that hides the hitch receiver.

I just wanna throttle people like that.

Nobody cares. We all lose money doing shit like that. Its how it works.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I should list my GMC for $8000, firm. I am a professional mechanic, so I have to pay myself $150/hr for labor.

It actually has "tasteful" and "Boyd Coddington" in the same ad. 

Seriously though, it's pretty cool.
