1975 Volvo Tgb11 (Mil version of C303)

1975 Volvo Tgb11
62,000 miles
Asking $17,000 for a quick sale, exchanges considered, (see below)
Plattsburgh NY, (1 hour south of Montreal, 2 hours north of Albany, or an hour west of Burlington VT)


Engine and tranny rebuilt by Swedish army before sale to me
New clutch
New polyurethane CV boots
New plugs, points, and condenser
New tractor-trailer seats (original seats included)
HIDDEN AUDIO brand am/fm behind passenger seat with dash controller
Back up camera with night vision
Cellphone charging dock

This was a lifelong dream truck for me. I have all the parts needed to mount a FlipPac lid and tent to the roof, giving you stand-up room in the back, and a queen sized bed over the front roof. (See concept pics my son made). We've only, gently, put a few thousand klicks on this truck.

Our only vehicle (besides the truck) just blew an engine, so we need to sell this to find transportation. (I'm a disabled vet recovering from bankruptcy, so even a personal loan is out)

Asking $17,000. I'd also accept a decent Jeep 4 door or a Toyota Rav-4 of lesser value, with no less than $7,000 cash as balance, (so basically, a $10k Jeep or Rav-4). Ideal situation for us would be you drive your $10k Jeep or Toyota to me, we exchange clear titles, you give me $7k cash, bank check, or postal money order, and you take the truck.

Meet my asking price and I'll throw in a FlipPac lid, tent, and hardware to make this!

Thanks. I'd also consider a decent SUV and cash, if it helps.

Lol! One-more-itus! How big is your yard?! Luckily, mine is small.

*UPDATE*

OK, the family car just crapped the bed. So, looking for a clean used Toyota Rav-4 or Mitsubishi Outlander under 100k miles, (but I need at least $7k cash with it for medical bills, and a new roof).

You are having a lot of contractions there; when they get to two minutes apart you can expect a Volvo to be delivered shortly! :lol: :roll:

Auction ends at 8 tonight, already a few interested buyers, (and 100's of tire kickers! :? :D ). If you are interested, don't miss out.

Did you set the reserve at $17,000? I'm curious, why set the base price at $15,000? Is there a strategy behind it? I know you want to sell it quick, so set it at $17,000, and if it sells, it sells. =)
