I'd give him $400 for it. 

With a Toyota V6 in it, it's probably butchered beyond belief, and definately not worth $2000.

Johnny....I got a helluva a deal, but I paid $2000 for my rig.

Try this man:

Again, $1500 rig if running, $1000 for rig, $500 for drivetrain.  :(

Thinking about this....there's not a lot of leg room in these.  You might want to look at moving the seat back, or building a taller frame for the seats.  The problem with moving them back is the tub rises behind the seat:

You can only go so tall and then you're staring at the top of the windshield frame instead of the glass.  There was a guy who had his seats rebuilt with something different and more firm, and he ended up having them too high for his liking.  

What about building a wagon? I'm sending you a PM.

This just screams Team Beltloop.....maybe mount some longhorns on the front of the hood and add a big 4ft flag waving off the back end....
