hi everyone...... brothers any idea on value of this old rig? engine runs so im told

idk but i have seen this same car running there sweet but im not shure about the price dude sweet car though

Hi,

The car you have there is a Vanning produced from about 1986 as opposed to the Landjump which was produced in 1981.

The main differences can be seen here;





These pics came from http://www.landjump.com, there is also http://www.landjump.net and both are great resources for these cars.

It's hard to suggest a value as it is a vintage car and is incomplete and has some non-period parts also I don't know where it is available (e.g. ebay, private sale, etc).

As for the parts just for example the driver is missing (easily available on ebay as someone makes excellent repros) and the wheels and tires are incorrect (very expensive on ebay).

I'd say at least $250 if not more on ebay ($750 ish if it was mint), but don't hold me to that as I don't know the condition.

ooohhh, very popular vintage car I believe. Yet the previous advise is also true...
If you don't care for it yourself and you're the owner already, take it apart and sell the parts to finance what you really love.
No point in making it complete to sell at a higher price, it simply doesn't work that way sadly enough.

Ahh, one of my favorite cars was the LandJump. I want to get another one and I know they can fetch several hundred for a decent one. Expect the Vanning to sell for a little less. Like Mr. Ed said, you'll do better to part it out.

thanks for the advise dudes... think ill pay the $100.00 asking price then..... bargain just like i thought

Are you gonna run, restore or resell this baby?

Oh yeah. That is a fine car for $100. Like the good Dr. said, $250 or more for that one.

Dang tootin, get yourself a Landjump boy!

Oddly the silencers are still very sought after today for the Gas Oval racers. Trying to find a landjump with its correct silencer seems to be very hard!
