Shipping wouldn't be the problem: getting a non-U.S. diesel vehicle into the U.S. would be.

That would be amazing to own. I do wonder about the posting being legit. It looks pretty good for spending 50 years on a sheep farm, and with only 6 left, a second one is parked next to it.

I found this ad in the sellers other items

Mint 1977 Mercedes 450sel 6.9 in Abuja. Imported originally by the minister of commerce, this rare beauty only has only 8,000 pampered miles. Excellent condition inside and out. Comes with a 10 year bumper to bumper warranty.

Buy it now for only $10,000

If you send an extra $5,000 you will help the queen of Gumbia finish her legalwork to gain access to her vast fortune. A one time $5,000 investment will give a $15,000 return. Think of it as getting the ministers 6.9 for free.


Sign me up.

Will he take a cashier's cheque for 10000 over asking price, and refund me the difference?

even though he is out of town right now he wants to make sure the deal works out, so please wire the cash to his London office, you cant send it to his address because he is going through a divorce and is afraid the soon to be ex will hamstring him. As soon as he recieves the cash he will gladly take care of the all of the shipping details and the next thing you will have to do is unload it from the truck in front of your house.

Nice looking pickup!

From the side the lines remind a bit of the early 50s studebaker truck.

Swamp wants!

Do you think that's a dump bed? I only ask because of the body lines between the cab and the bed.
