Used 2008 RARE 2WD Crew Cab Midsize Pickup Truck, less than 6K miles!

Owned previously by my elderly father and rarely driven, this SsangYong Actyon Sport body was shipped from overseas without a motor in it. It now has a Ford V8 289 unleaded motor installed. The beauty of this vehicle besides its unique style (est. less than 200 in the U.S.) is the pipes that roar with authority and make everyone stand to attention to catch a glimpse at this one-of-a-kind ride! 

Starts fine, runs fine and as loud as you'd like to make it!!!  Check out the video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/v1sW3vx9i7M and hear the pipes at https://youtube.com/shorts/P54ECJdwJrE?feature=share

For more history on this unique vehicle, some online research will reveal that, "In 2008 a company called Phoenix Motorcars in Ontario, California, bought over two hundred SsangYong Actyon Sport short bed crew cab pickups from Korea (the name is an amalgam of the words "action" and "young").  Their plan was to outfit them with electric motors and sell them in America for around $50,000-$65,000 each.  These trucks are about the size of a Chevrolet Colorado.  However, by the time they were ready to sell them, the technology in their electric conversion was already surpassed by other manufacturers such as Chevrolet and Nissan.  So, they were stuck with hundreds of these unfinished trucks with no engines or transmissions. 

After closing their doors, Phoenix Motorcars were ordered by the courts to sell the remainder of their unfinished vehicles (with no engines or transmissions) to the general public to pay off their creditors - and they sold pretty fast.  Some purchasers of these trucks built them with high-horsepower engines for off-road racing - so they could install any engine in them, with no emission or state inspection.  Others with large properties have outfitted them with snowplows and grounds-keeping tools to be used only on their property." 

Fortunately this particular vehicle has been titled, so you can show it off on the highway, because it has to be seen to be believed!  Thank you for looking!
