It says the vehicle is no longer for sale. I would run away from that one anyway. You would have to find an old burned out long haired mechanic, that had more tools than brains to fix it................Hey! wait a minute!

I think there's more, alot more to the story. I also think the seller got into some hot water and stopped or was made to stop the sale.

Frame swap (Frames still have the VIN stamped?) from a year or two older truck that has been rolled?

No longer for sale anyway, probably something fishy going on.

i think that was supposed to be junked. if i remember correctly, the manufacturer is supposed to junk those show vehicles because they have been modified and are no longer able to meet the dot saftey requirements or smog certification.

my brother had to watch chrysler destroy a few hundred cars once because they had been involved in a train derailment, insurance company made them destroy the cars to the point of using a pin gun to make holes thru the blocks into the cylinders, holes thru the trans cases in places that couldnt be fixxed, and so on. he has pics of a few hemi cudas,big block chargers, challengers, and pickups with a half inch hole in all the parts.

yeppers- they get donated to High School shops or crushed- no way that thing should have wound up for sale.... or in the hands of someone who could/would sell it.

Maybe that is how some of those concept cars from yesteryear survived? It is a shame to crush some of them. The government regulates it I suppose.

Did anybody look at the pics of where the frame was "welded" back together. Yeah, that looks nice and safe. Looks like I did it.

That's something that totally slipped my mind, what does an OASIS show on that truck?

Oasis is clean. Other than needing the reflash, there is no mention of anything.

Soooo, if you were guessing, what do ya think happened and does the OASIS show the truck as being delivered to a "buyer"?
