According to Russ this is the truck that started it all with Europa. It was the first to come over and they drove it all around the country having the government modifications done to make it US Gov compliant. As i understand this truck was patient zero of the Europa business model. It spent it's life with a single owner after Russ sold it - and lived in Santa Fe its whole life. 170,000 miles and you'd guess it was new. The owner died, it went to his wife, and then from mother to daughter - who doesn't live in the states- and she sold it back to Russ. I was looking for a low-cost 99 and this really fit the bill. I'm hoping the 170000 aren't too much of an issue. Right now there's a little flare shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear so i'm sure at some point I'll have to work on the transmission. Maybe at that point we put in a low mileage tranny and engine- do it all at once. If you guys have any suggestions I'm all ears. I'm in Albuquerque for the next few months and then head back to Los Angeles with her. Cheers!
