1988 Suzuki Samurai Description

Up for auction is a now fully functional "barn find" 1988 Suzuki Samurai Tin Top model. This vehicle was pulled out of a shed in the mountains of upstate NJ. Already having an excellent engine and super paint scheme, in no way was this a part-out candidate. This vehicle has been gone over front to back, system to system (engine, fuel system, cooling system, electrical, suspension, braking, steering, fluids, tune-up, etc), repairs made, parts replaced, tasteful modifications done, rust repairs, under-body fully reconditioned, interior detailed. Basically everything it needed was addressed. Body is virtually dent free. There is some rust (door bottoms, front/top of hood, window sill, etc.), but due to the overall beautiful paint scheme it was not addressed. (better door shells and a hood are available to the buyer if wanted). The pics speak for themselves. More pics available (ad limit was 24)
