The gauges are particularly interesting, as are the front lights.

[rvrsrvc]

You're jealous.
And, they may actually work.
I do like the tow strap tied in a knot around the front crossmember or whatever that box is.

[sven]

Its built on a IH Scout frame...Arent Scouts more rust prone that a series Rover?

I like the picture of the RoversNorth sticker...like who cares?

[crazyfish]

It's not a rover, but worth a laugh or two

What the hell.....? I like the dump loader rear tub - you just roll up to the local playground with a bunch of screaming kids in the back, raise the tub and dump the pile of them on the curb. Sweetness.

[Rob P]

What was he thinking putting that kinda money and time into a project like that and then not finishing it? Nothing worse than somebody else's basket case and not knowing where to start or where they stopped. Just makes me shake my head.

sheesh what took you so long?

[Rob P]

Somebody did a hell of a lot of work to an old rig here. Much money involved. Imagine if they had spent that kind of time and money on a Series Rover? (Picturing an embroidered puffy dash board surrounding O.E.M. gauges)

[solihull109]

sheesh what took you so long?
I've been trying very hard to be polite, but I just couldn't take it any longer.:D

[kirkt]

maybe one of you hot rodders can tell me - what are those big ass pieces of iron hanging of the bottom of the rear leafs on that truck. I always see them on muscle cars - are they to keep the car from power squating or something? That's right - I said power squat.

[Frank84]

I'm pretty sure those bars are to prevent axle wrap during hard acceleration. All series trucks should have them.

That is an unusual item.

However, it always amazes me how the grammer and spelling of the Ebay ads are horrible. I am not the best speller and my grammer leaves something to be desired.............but............If I was listing an item for $50,000 I think I would at least re-read my ad copy several times and have someone else proof read it for things.

I like the side mirror hanging by the wires and the peace signs on the bumper. The salvage title is a nice touch too.

[Trevor]

... oh and that snorkel, I bet it gets great air flow - at speed, in reverse. I almost missed it... cause it's camo, kind of. I think he might have to knock off $5k and throw in a case of spray paint to make the sale.
