He said $200 and I said sold, and I sent him a $50 deposit via paypal.
I tried to get him to strap it to a pallet and drop it off at a Fastenal store about 8 miles from his house but he would not.
So I spent all day on the road to go get it home.
The reason for the $200 price is due to the new window in the engine block in behind the starter-generator.
In case you ever wanted to know.....yes a 127 with 42" deck installed will fit into a first generation Tahoe!. But you have to remove the steering wheel.  |
I'm in disbelief....how did you get it to fit? Where did the wife sit (on the roof?
)? How would you explain that to an officer if you were pulled over---"I saw him stranded along the road Occifer,.....uh Officer...
". I just don't believe it.......but I'm glad that you got it with great options!!
