I just saw this on a local site. It's not my truck and I don't know the first thing about it.

Kinda rough, but it's tough to see detail from the pics.
If miles not too high, it might be worth $5-7K, but it needs cladding, paint, and 8 years of no-run may mean motor work.

anyone else notice it has a FAST sticker on the rear window? isn't that a local SyTy club down in Florida? I'm sure some members would know about this truck.

Probably Jeremy or Jordan Botto's old truck. Chances are, its Jordan's due to last I ever heard was Jordan still had Jeremy's truck and was still trying to build it. Jordan got rid of his truck long ago, so the timeframe makes sense about it sitting there. That circle on the tailgate looks like where an old Stang Buster magnet used to be (old skoolers know what I'm talking about).

A little weird that its posted on a site that the person posting it only has three posts total. Also says it only needs a battery and fuel pump but look at the picture that shows the trunk looks like some lines and belts.
Maybe he means the fuel pump and the battery are the items that are needed to put the truck back together.

When i worked at the local pontiac gmc dealer from 99-04 we used to service one like this. Missing the same cladding. Owner didnt take care of it at all. Last time i saw it at the dealer. The prop shaft was out and it had a bad miss. The dealer was in the tampa area and its the only teal one ive seen around here.

Its also weird how the guy who posted the ad didnt come to the forums. Theres a syty.net decal on the rear window too. A beater teal would be a cool project though.

Pretty sure that is Jordan Botto's old truck now. Only person with a teal that would have the FAST and .net decals when we made them. That truck was fast as hell in pure stock form. Ran a 13.2 at Nats way back when with basically only a TC lockup switch.

TampaRacing is the armpit of import racing here in FL.

Yes this looks like it was my old ty. Im not sure if it still has these mods, but I remember selling it with ATR headers, air/air, 50lb injectors, afpr, electronic boost controller, and I think I had a te45 turbo on it with a .82 exhaust housing. It ran 12.70's on 17lbs and 11.90's on 27-28 lbs. Oh, and it had a custom keith gill chip. We spent a lot of time dicking with the tune. Im sure there are better tuned trucks out there now....as this was back in 2000.
