Overland vehicle or not, this is super cool! As someone who owns an SRT Jeep, I love me a playful SUV.

I don't know the market but I feel like your asking price is reasonable. If you're willing to play with a reserve, I would think this might do well on bringatrailer.com if they are agreeable. Might not resonate with their audience or you could be pleasantly surprised. For $99, not a terrible proposition.

Appreciate the kind words -

Hadn't thought of Bring-a-trailer but that might be a good idea.

Also forgot to mention -

I'm reluctantly selling to move into a full size so a partial trade (plush cash from my end) for a newer full size (must be 4x4 & have 4 doors) would be considered. Updated the original post to reflect this

Bumping for a price drop -

There is over $13,500 in just the motor and transmission before the blower ($6,500 retail) so this is a $20K+ build on top of the very clean base truck.

Updated link and price dropped again! Most HP for the buck that I'm aware of.

Picked up my replacement vehicle so trades are off the block, but she now has to go - dropped price and will give another $500 off for expo members.

Priced less than what is in the motor alone - Cheapest HP for the buck anywhere!!! (that I'm aware of)

That is very cool ?.... Hope you sell it before we move back from China next month or I may get the assignment from my wife to head west!

Appreciate the kind words. By the way -

600 HP of American built, blown LS goodness is the current Dr. recommended decompression prescription for returning from a stint in China. With every turn of the key you'll get a reassuring daily dose of audible and chest thumping throaty exhaust lope that gently reminds your core DNA that you are back in the mother land. ; )

Cheers -
