9/29/12.... SOLD
1995 S10 ZR2. Well over $25,000 in parts and hundreds of hours of labor were used to build this truck over the last 6 years. This is absolutely a “one of a kind” truck. This is an extremely dependable, turn-key rig. All the bugs have been worked out of it so the owner can just enjoy it. It works great in the rocks, in the woods, on the sand, in the mud, or anywhere else – a true all-purpose rig. Drives straight down the road up to 70 MPH. All welding and fabrication has been done professionally on this truck; no “ghetto fab” can be found anywhere on this truck.
The truck is currently getting the bumpers and sliders repainted, as well as the frame / underneath touched up with fresh paint or undercoating. It will look as good or better than it ever has.
