'87 Sportruck in South La

[Tex06]

Found an '87 Sportruck here in Baton Rouge. It's got good, bad, but it ain't ugly!

 

Good: Body, lights, steps and paint are in p.d.g. (pretty darn good) shape. Stickers look original and are faded appropriately. Taillights, tailgate, bumpers are all there and in good shape. No dents that I saw. Engine is a new crate 4.0L to replace one that overheated, not even broken in. 130k on the body. Column shift auto.

 

The Bad: The truck flooded last August. Hasn't moved since then, the shop that did the motor had just finished and parked it outside to be picked up from what I was told.

 

Owner said he would part with it for $500. I was going to but it and part it out until I saw it was a Sportruck....I know these are kinda rare. Hopefully someone can get this beauty back in the road!

I'd be damn interested but it's a heck of drive.

Isn't the Sportruck just the base model?

[Pete M]

yes, but you could order just about anything you wanted on a base model.

Damn, someone needs to buy this. Flooded or not it'd be a great canvas.

Yup. If it wasn't 2600 miles away...

Wonder which 4.0 setup they went with.  Lots of potential there.
