Went to my sister's house last Sun. and saw this beauty sittin under a tree. When I asked my bro-in-law about it, he said he got it at an auction up north in MO and drove it home just to haul gravel from the quarry to redo his drive. It has been sitting since. (About 3 years.) He pulled the intake off the carb, dumped in a little ether, and she fired right up off a batt. box. He said everything works, but mentioned something about the controller. He'll take half what he paid for it, which means a hell of a deal for me.
I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but don't have a welder, etc. I also have no idea what I'd be getting into with something of this era. My experience is with late model V8's. I also don't know anything specific to C60's so I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to take on yet another project. I don't have any more room in my drive and no land to park it on where I could work on it easily.
The good thing is, all I think I'd really want to do is rig up some seating, (the bench needs redone or replaced) pull all the wood out of the bed and replace with something like expanded metal, replace the dry rot tires, maybe do something with the glass and seals, black primer all over, and keep on a driving.
I would assume that EVERYTHING needs servicing and possible motor / tranny rebuilt. It's a 4-5 speed with 2 speed rear end. He said it likes to jump out of 1st. so you have to hold it in gear. The pumpkin has obvious signs of a leak. Other than that, I don't think it's too bad off. Thoughts / opinions? Value? I heard that the cab mounts can be a problem area.
