Wow! That's a good price. I was gonna drive my new prize to Seattle tomorrow, but I feel it's just too new to us and I'd be pushing things to race down the interstate. I guess Ill take the '85 landcruiser even though it gets half the mileage. On our test drive today we stopped at Frankie Gate's place to show off the 300 td. He's a dump truck driver and heavy equipment operator here on the island who loves the diesel Mercedes. I was told he has a lot of parts, and he's a guy I have known for years. When we left his place, we had 4 hub caps and an amazing grille, that might not be 'year correct'... but I don't care. He wanted 40 bucks for the 4 hubcaps and 40 bucks for the grille. I made him take 100.00......and that included a rear bumper with all the rubber next tim I stop by..... The bling is nice, but I gotta have brakes first.
