I picked up an 87 samurai special edition recently from someone I do work for occaisionally. I'm the 3rd owner, and its impressive how nice this little truck is for what it was made for.
in all I'd say its a pretty sweet deal for $500, considering it runs and just needed a general tuneup and new battery after sitting in a garage for 4 years. I still need to patch some rust holes and wash/wax it, but overall its not half bad. the interior is even really clean, as I like it, despite being carpet instead of vinyl.
