Stuff we drool over...

A co-worker sent me this website. Would be neat to put a small camper shell (a la Mitchell fishing hut) on one of these:
Legacy Power Wagon









  • According to that website, these are in the $120K range :E
  • In stock form, they look good but are pretty lowly on specifications: Dana 60 axles, Under 1800 lb payload, Under 100 hp engines...

    It is same with old muscle cars, you need to buy them for the styling otherwise you have to sink a lot money into them so they don't get beat by today's daily commuters.

    That 4-door is neat! I would like one that had a little extra space behind a single cap with fixed glass and small jump seats without the operable suicide door... sort of like the early 90's Dodge extra cab.
  • Too pretty for me. I'd prefer one the that the body wasn't show room condition as I'd put some dings, dents and racing stripes front to back on (read as scratches). But I'm not about to spend over 100g's for!

    Undersprung for heavy loads but I know a local guy that has restored a couple and he said that with no load and in stock trim an older Power Wagon will beat the snot out of you going down a rough road.

    Tough truck.
