Oh man. My wife might kill me but I feel like I have to see it person.
I’ll offer to be eyes on for someone if they want. Not to far from me and lots of customers very close too.
I'm gonna pull my best sergeant schultz and see nothing.
Oh the want is strong with that one. Thankfully I have no room & it's far enough away to negate the low price.
If it's not rusty that would be cool. Good basic chassis. I hate the paint though, it doesn't even work in a hipster ironic way for Rod-of-the-wood.

Though I would hate to live daily with the paint too, I think it is period correct. When I google up "1989 Mini truck" I get these types of images
In reply to John Welsh (Moderate Supporter) :
No argument on period correct, it's just I thought that 'style' was stupid at the time and still do now. Just as I've always hated flat colors, exo cars, lifted trucks and a multitude of other fads that have come and gone. This is my hobby now get off my lawn damn it!!!
I do actually like mini trucks, just not a lot of the wheels and paint jobs that went with them. In fact I think small pick up trucks are the one type of truck that makes sense.

Some different wheels and I'd daily that
BERK.
That would be a hell of a challenge car, assuming you can get through 6 autocross runs and at least one drag pass before it drops the valves.
