Description
This "sold" to someone who didn't even bother to respond after they won it. it was then offered to the next highest bidder...who responded the first time and lacked the respect to respond again after that. SO here i am, paying ANOTHER $50 to list this, because ebay does nothing to ensure it's buyers follow through but is happy to charge me twice to sell the same item.
IN SHORT: If you do not intend to pay for this, if you do not intend to pick it up, than DO NOT BID.
This is a no reserve auction, high bidder gets it.
Here is undoubtedly the most unique Rat Rod ever made.....This thing is dubbed Frankenstein (even in the vehicles title!). Please read the whole ad.
Not sure i can describe this thing to the fullest potential so be sure to look at the photo's closely. there are so many custom touches.
Body: On the very front of this beast is Frankenstein himself, i'm not sure what the front/fenders are, the front bumper is a large piece of steel, nor do i know what the cab is but it does have suicide doors and all 4 open (but the left rear door needs the door handle repaired). The bed is a 90's dodge that has been shortened and "stitched together". the tail gate has frankenstein on it aswell, the rear bumper is tubular steel with some big nuts on the bottom. the cab has only a windshield, it does not have door glass or a back door. all of the tires hold air.
Interior: not much to say here, there are 2 seats with seat belts, odometer shows under 400 miles. ignition should be replaced, currently a flathead screwdriver does "key duty".
drivetrain/mechanical: The engine runs, and the transmission moved it forwards/backwards. I've never attempted to drive it, the steering needs repaired (see the photos), where the steering column matches up to the steering box was getting stuck on the firewal and damaged the rubber disc that connects them, cutting the firewall a bit larger and replacing the rubber disc should rectify the steering issue. brakes work. This has a Chevy 454 in it, which has headers, otherwise it appears to be pretty well stock. the transmission is assumably a th400 or similar. the exhaust is double straight pipes into 2 cherry bombs and then into the 8 seperate pipes behind the cab with 8 flame flappers. one of the pipes is pulled away from the pipe as shown, should be very simple to fix. also worth noting: a couple months back our "monsoon season" began, i didn't have the engine covered (i'm an idiot apparently), i went out and checked the oil after the first big storm after i thought about it, and it had a milkshake in it. i did an oil change. i Assume said milkshake was due to the monsoon, but i suppose it could have been a blown headgasket aswell, i don't want to guarantee against that. HOWEVER the oil filter's oil was CLEAN, only the oil in the pan had water in it.
I do not have any shipping connections, my only suggestion would be uship, if you are in the valley i can assist with getting it towed to you for a fee. Frankenstein should be considered a "nonrunner" for shipping purposes. regarding payment, i'm only accepting cash in person or wire transfer. storage is free for the first 2 weeks, after that it can sit here as long as you need it to but storage will be $80/mo. It has a clean/clear AZ title, it is titled as a 2001 Spcon Frkns 1/2ton pickup.
This description was better....but after spending over an hour writing a very long and detailed description, i hit backspace to delete part of a sentence and the browser went BACK.....and DELETED THE WHOLE AD. SO! if you have any questions, Please feel free to ask! I will respond quickly.
