I tried to buy that Body Tub last summer. I drove nearly 600kms round trip to have a look at all of them after we loosely agreed on a deal for me to buy one Body, based on an add he put on G503 selling them as individual units. I ended up getting the $25,000 quote for "all of it, or nothing". Needless to say, I was a bit put off.

Its a good Body, some damage from rough handling with a Fork Lift, but not NOS. Most likely a Depot repaired MUTT, as its all primer under the Body and Frame. A NOS Body wouldn't have all the Mods done to it, as well as a Cam paint job. It also had a Data Plate on it.

Sadly, I have neither the money nor space for all of that stuff. Tragic to see it all rusting away in a field, while I welded my "two piece" back together.

Frankly, these days, I doubt anyone could afford to drop 5 figures on what really amounts to alot of spare parts. Seller would not budge on selling off even enough to build one with the good Tub. He was pretty clear to me face to face that he did not have all the parts needed to finish one.

I may seem a tad emotional about this. Truth is, I am.

I'm not trying to steer anyone away, in fact i'd love to see them saved. But it would be wrong of me to not advise my peers of the details as I know them.
