Looks like the same truck is for sale on NLOC... just posted today. Something seems fishy. This guy doesn't seem on the up and up. He seems to have an L for sale every other month or so.

Just trying to watch your back here!

different exhaust.. at least.. unless that was added new.

[WA 2 FST]

the pics on the guy's site are older. If its a different truck, then that's as close to being a "twin" as I think I've ever seen. Engine bay pic looks identical, same wheels, same hood and "21k mile '95 L". :confused:

The engine pics are exactly the same.

His old post got deleted my mods/admin and he reposted it. I saw the original thread last night after John posted over here and was wondering why he reposted it when he had a buyer

Exactly. That's my point. If you sell something you don't repost it. Just seems strange.

[WA 2 FST]

Just read his response on NLOC. This guy is a moron. Sounds like if he gets a better offer, then he'll stick it to John.

[Ohmsby]

I posted last night shortly after he and I had agreed on a price and we had planned on going to Kansas on thursday morning with the big trailer to pick it up.

He call today and says he wants to keep the truck another week blah blah blah...

I told him it is either for sale or it's not but I don't have the time or patience to deal with this BS and he says well um well um...

I told him when he figures it out let me know. For fun another Talon member pm'd him with a better offer and he responded. Then I asked the NLOC to delete the thread and they did

The truck is correct I spoke at length with the owner from Iowa who he purchased the truck from about a 18 months ago the new owner has only put about 2K on the truck in that time and the Guy in Iowa bought the truck new in 95

I hoped that the drama would solve itself but at this point he will sell it to me for the agreed price or he can keep it

If you post an item for sale and you agree to a price then that is a sale.


To say the least this has been more than frustrating and I would hope that he honor the agreement we had made

I will keep you posted

PS thanks for lookin out for me guys

"The things is that i wanted to have it on here till the end of the week. If no one is interested for what i want for it then it is his. i had it on here before but then I wanted it for a photo shoot last month. I really love the truck and I just got a bmw and Im going back to school so i want to get the best offer i can get before i let it go. i will hold on to it if i know i can get more. but If no one is enterested in it by the end of the week then its John's... Thursday was to soon to see it go. i have to have time to say good bye :) you guys are going to make this young kid go into depression. I know one thing when i get out of school and he still has it i will buy it back in a sec. plus thursday wasnt going to work for me anyways. I have so much studies and home work its not even funny!!! plus i work full time as well as go to school full time."

[WA 2 FST]

I understand getting cold feet, but holding out for a better offer after agreeing to another offer and having the buyer making arrangements to drive 700 miles to go get it is BS.

This guy is a flake. I have seen him post other trucks he's had for sale, and he just acts strange. Sounds like a spoiled little rich kid with no manners or conscience.

I remember seeing this truck back in September and he was asking $22k. I was considering offering him some $$ for it, but not when I saw that price. But if you can get it for what you guys agreed upon (I'm not asking what that is, but just making an educated guess based on his new asking price), then you'll have a great truck at a great price. There are a lot of overpriced Gen 1s out there IMHO, but this one would be right.

All I know is I wouldn't trust this guy one bit.

I know what John offered him and was going to pick up the truck for, but come on, if you are going to accept an offer then follow through. It seems like he accepted the offer then started to get cold feet and want more

[Ohmsby]

We are back on schedule for the purchase I am going up on Saturday for the truck @ the original agreed price.

I hope when I get to KS that everything is the way it should be

stay tuned for updates

Normally I would walk on a deal like this but the previous owner in Iowa really did things right and the truck is a bargain at this price.

If there are any shenanigan's:flaming:

[tiffo60]

will you make it back in time for the races sat night:evil

[Chris94L]

Hard choice to give him a second chance. But seeing how clean it looks, having the P.O.'s scoop on things, and the price, I can see why ya would keep on it.

[WA 2 FST]

I agree... if you can get past this flake of a person (who hasn't owned it long enough to screw anything up, either), then it will be worth it.

I have a feeling if you go up there and meet him with the $$ and he pulls something, then he will be fighting for his life shortly thereafter. ;)

I'm sure it will work out.

Wait... I'll just make him a better offer and you can pick it up for me. :lol: j/k

[Ohmsby]

We picked the truck up today and it is beasty. Looks and rides as described.

Like I said normally I would have walked on a deal like this early on but the original owner Larry Kellow had the truck from 95 to 06 and this guy had only put about 1800 miles on it since.

Larry talked to me for almost an hour about the truck I got several of the reciepts and build sheets in the package.

We are at Jame's compound in Stanley Kansas tonight (some nay remember stopping by his place after L fest)

We will be heading home in the A.M.

It may be faster than my 03 DSG......:tex

Cool, but why did you think you needed this?
Boat money just burning a hole in your pocket?

[99WhiteBeast]

Glad you guys made it safe. Enjoy the party:cool:

[WA 2 FST]

Cool, but why did you think you needed this?
Boat money just burning a hole in your pocket?

Here's how I would look at it. Where can you find a vehicle (in this case a Lightning) in this condition for the price? This thing is perfect, its tastefully and correctly modified, etc.

Honestly if I'd known it was for sale at the price the guy asked at the end, I would have been highly interested in it. The one other time I saw it for sale, the guy was asking $22k which is way too high. But this was a good deal on a pristine vehicle that John has obviously had his eye on.

I found a 1,700 mile 5.0 LX convertible for sale and the biggest thing that is holding me back is I would have to rent somewhere to store it b/c I'm out of room.

When/if John decides to sell it down the road, I bet he'll get out of it what he paid. In automotive land, that's a win-win. Buy it, drive it around for awhile, sell for what you paid. It doesn't happen often (especially with late model vehicles).

Just my $.02.

Dang! :nana2 That's a whole lot of Red Ls in your shop. :bows

Steve and I are going to have to drive over in the Ls and add to the craziness.:burnout:You're new Gen. 2 looks sharp-as-all-hell, too. Love that suspension-rake.

Looking forward to seeing that beast in person. You can't go wrong with the Gen. 2 "Frankenstein" wheels in styling, IMO.

Congrats!

Looks like a sick truck John! Glad you guys got it worked out. Congrats on a great deal! I look forward to seeing it at a future event. What's the displacement on the motor in that puppy?

We made it back to Texas. Thanks Steve for making the trip (you are still fired as the navigator)

The reported displacement is 383 stroker. :tex

I will be bringing it out to play very soon. Does anyone know which paint matches the interior grey pillar? The two pod is black and it is wearing me out.

Does this work for ya?

[WA 2 FST]

That is definitely not the standard Vortech belt routing setup. I had a basic kit that I then put an 8-rib setup on, but it used an extended water pump pulley as part of the tensioning system. The one on John's truck appears to have some better brackets and engineering. :tu:

[Chris94L]

Stock brackets but it has an additional idler pulley on it. Are you going to the meet Thursday John? If so which truck do you plan to take? I'd like to look that 95 over if you decide to take it.

I used a standard gray interior paint I picked up at Auto Zone. I don't know that it matches perfectly, but there are several hues of gray on the interior of those trucks, so it blends in pretty nicely.
