Looks to be in good shape, why would a vehicle like that be headed to the crusher? Good find!!

That is awesome!! I thought there was some heavy rust on the roof from the photo but the cleaned up and home photos are amazing (aside from it looking like you took the photos with a potato) 
Nice find, can't believe someone was going to toss that to the side. I guess we all have our limit.

| Yea, I concur with others...way too clean to get crushed. Lots of potential if you wanted to part it out as well. |

Wow that's an absolute steal. Do you want to resell it for $2000?
