It ended last night w/ no takers, even for the $1,500 starting amount. I think the plates scared people off, "RUN'N WLD"

Atleast it is broken in now, 267,000 miles as a diesel.

Choo Choo was a conversion company a while back. One of their more popular cars was the Choo Choo Custom edition El Camino from the mid eighties.

It was sold outside of ebay. I don't care for the paint scheme but to each his own.

That paint scheme reminds me of a 91 suburban I saw an ebay last year while looking for the blue burb I ended up getting from Arizona.  

I don't know if this one, which was south of Chicago was a choo choo, but the paint scheme is related.
