as much as it pains me. needs must.  
1959 double treasure chest single cab in dove blue (originally delivered to a San Francisco dealer in grey so that OG paint might be under there somewhere!) the roof and bumpers are white with gold metalflake

body is in good condition with no rot. drop gates are very. very good. just a couple of small perforations. very straight. the bed is a bit bendy but not split or cracked

Chez Williams at Rapid Rodent Racing sorted the welding required. new outriggers & tophats plus repairs to the cills. very solid no rot.

steel pressed bumpers

tubbed front arches using original sheet metal for the tops.

punchdrunk customs air ride beam and rear IRS. very rudimentary control board consisting of two switches. one for the front and one for the back up & down. would benefit from a proper module to slow the rise and fall. also the two front bags i believe are too small as they're too full at ride height giving very little suspension travel. Matt at Punch drunk can supply a couple of bags for $100 each. there are slight leaks on the system but a regulator is fitted to keep the front bags topped up which is done automatically and un noticeably

2110cc motor originally built by Old Speed in CA just rebuilt around a new Autolinea case. Mahle B&P's. DPR crank. 044 heads. twin weber 44IDF's. full flow oil. braided hoses. external fan assisted oil cooler. pulls like a train. no leaks. runs cool. rebuilt by Mario Burley at MV engineering

IRS box - no idea of the ratios but they're very long! its no drag racer but a great motorway box.

Porsche 944 discs all round working perfectly. stops on a dime. (doesn't have handbrake cables which isn't idea. just haven't got around to sorting it)

replica Fuchs detailed by my lovely brother with good continental tyres

JVC bluetooth/ipod compatible headunit with cd & tuner. couple of big speakers under the dash in pods and a big bass tube & amp under the seat. its very loud!

i think thats about it. aside from the very firm front suspension it drives brilliantly. no play in the steering. tons of power. slows and stops smoothly and urgently!

vehicle is located in Telford. Shropshire and can be viewed at a workshop on a lift if required (Birmingham)

very happy to talk about a deal without the motor/wheels/air ride etc etc

feel free to call me on 07779 355828 or drop me a PM or more info

cheers
Matt
