It's been in storage for the last 17yrs. Grandpa gave it to me last year as a birthday present. Unfortunately, it's been rotting in the storage unit he put it in for all those years too. First owner was a farmer that went blind and wasn't able to drive it. Grandpa bought it from him, and now I'm the new owner. Planning to put it back to running order, then we'll see what happens from there. Hopefully that means a new Raptor after it sells.    Pics!

Pics as I found it:






Now, in the driveway:

From what I can tell, a long travel Raptor would fit in the back

a nice 600cfm carb and 4bbl intake will really wake that sucker up.

I'd love to but it's worth more in stock condition.  It's completely original too.  It's not really my style of car/truck so I'm going to end up selling when the time is right.  Then it's mOAr Raptor 700!
