New guy with a question.

[jrussell]

Been lurking around here soaking up all the great info and have found an old IDI pretty cheap and wondered what you guys thought about it. Looking for one to run on "alternative fuels" and get back and forth to work in. Thanks in advance for your help and opinions. Here is the link for what i am looking at. [email protected]

http://quadcities.craigslist.org/pts/2300911431.html. Sorry about that, think this is what i need, . I know he is way off on saying that it "used" to get 25 mpg's, but it doesnt sound like he knows much about it and i may be able to get it really cheap.

probably got 15mpg.

plus

"I talked to a previous owner and he told me that it was the very first 6.9 ford to ever roll off the line"

Do I need to go on about this ... I think its self evident

If it really was a real pulling truck, it should have some good mods done to it. Otherwise it was probably some guy who pulled with it once, and told tall tales...

There's no title? He wants 800 for a truck that has no title?

you can always do a lein sale for the title. one thing for sure is to get a copy of the seller's driver's license just in case if it does come back as stolen.
that aside, looking at the truck tells me that it is/was owned by a kid who kicked the **** out of it before putting the truck up for sale. proceed with caution.

I'm just saying.....I bought mine for 600 with a title...granted it needed a few things...but what 600 dollar truck doesn't?

Yea, i was kinda wondering what the story was myself. I emailed and asked a little more about it and he didnt really know much. Looked to me like it has been stored in a barn or something with the dust all over it, and maybe just cleanin out the barn or soemthing of the sort. Thought if nothin else it would be a good parts truck a better truck that already runs.
