Those auctions are not cheap, and buy it now is even more expensive. . .I doubt he's showing off. . .

I can do a better dash in my garage on a rainy afternoon, and the flames over the rear wheel wells are cheesy at best. I bet the wife told him it's gotta go, so this is his way of putting it on the market & making sure he can keep his baby! 
Nice $12K truck though!

Yeah, better off with no seat belts than that setup! Needs at the very least a roll bar at top to connect belts to.
That truck could be duplicated for $13- $14K, including a solid $2000 truck to start with. And it will come without the old school (cough cough) hoodscoop, and awful flame decals. I really don't know what the story is on this thing.
He would have to have a blower on the engine, a 4 link setup, and tubs at the very least to get even close to $30,000, where the price is at. Definately not right. lol

Buy it now is just a wild figure the guy just threw up there. You never know, you might get someone crazy rich or stupid. He has bids at $30,000 but the reserve is still not met, but the 3 bids he has are from 2 with zero feedback and one with only 1 feedback. I'll bet this truck ends up relisting sometime next week.

Crap, the price it is at now is still double what it's worth! Heck, if our trucks were worth that much right now, I would take a trailer load of parts trucks to Barrett Jackson!
LOL
Sounds pretty fishy, those bidders...

aluminum dry blocks that our local pro-mud-runner uses(shipped from TX) are $40,000. Add to that, the rest of the engine components, and yer looking at a total of $45,000. Add yet again the rest of the buggy, and yer looking at $60,000. What does this conclude? 1. That truck doesn't have a dry-block. 2. that truck isn't in mud-runs, thus no 4x4 components. 3. it's all home-made. 4. that dry block the local mud-runner has puts out over 1200 HP....Almost twice the HP. 5. And that's still $20,000 less. And 6. Proof that there's actually megalomaniacs out there.
