While not a bad price you may have trouble selling this. Unfortunately, I have been unable to sell prefecture food REO Grands for $50. The market is more friendly to folks who want 3D printed squonkers.

Yeah I know. I'm not on a hurry to sell it, may restore it myself when i have some time.

This is one of the reos used way back in the day when me, pdib & then Rob started exploring how to minimize the VDrop on the reos. That thread is what got Rob onto providing the new improved springs. Pdib announced his OliveR squonker shortly after

The condition is really bad otherwise I'd take it for sure. Don't see many of these for sale these days.

yeah it's a tinkerer's item, but it can be fully restored by a hobbyist / someone who wants to tinker

Remove paint on body & door for a raw aluminum reo

Sandpaper it to full polish if you like the look

New spring & spring screw (about $17 shipped if i recall)

that's all thats needed.

old timers in the reo thread loved bringing them to full polish or painting them to their taste.
