I've recently acquired #2608 , which has 11,534 miles on it. The new ownership is bittersweet, it was originally my Dad's and he recently passed. He was the second owner, purchasing it from his cousin the original owner back in the early 2000's. It had been stolen and recovered, his cousin no longer wanted it , so Dad bought it.
We spent a winter putting it back together. It was missing seats (found original Syclone seats at a swap meet), wheels and tires (bought a set of OEM's out of a really sketchy business deep in Detroit), Then had to replace some hoses and things that had been cut, we think they were about to pull the motor. Also had to repaint one side since it had been keyed. The truck also still has a clean title, and other than the steering wheel and stereo , it is bone stock.
Sadly it has been neglected for the past 4 years, just sitting in the garage. I know it hasn't been started in the last two. So, my plans to get it road worthy again will start with getting all the old gas out. Changing all rubber parts (hoses, vacuum lines, brake lines), all fluids, tires, plugs, cap and wires. Will probably dump some injector cleaner in it as well. I definitely plan on keeping it, and will drive it.
