It seems you have never had a Power Wagon down to the Frame and Brought it back piece by piece like what this one has had done to it. The money alone for parts is between $19,000 to $24,000 not counting any labor. I would rather by this truck rather than one that has been done in some dirt pile that someone has said it has been restored, you get it home and it does nothing but rattle drip oil and fall apart and when you do tear into the axles or trans you find that it was put together wrong and half of the parts are not there or seals that are supposed to be there are not. The engine has a just been rebiult and it uses 4 qts of oil to go 100 miles. If I was looking for a Nice Power Wagon that I could drive with my family in it this is the quality of Power Wagon I would want and I would gladly pay for it.
It seems to me that when a nice Power Wagon that has been restored professionally gets put in the classified it doesn't last very long, but the trucks that need to be restored, or are sold as retored seem to sell slowly, or they sell and the customer gets it home and realizes it is a piece of sh-- and relists it in the classified.
my 2 cents!!
