                  That car belongs to No Pstns on here. Get in touch with him if you're interested.
                  Edit: Here's a link to another thread which also has a link to his craigslist ad...

                      Hey, how much did you end up paying for the tank if you don't mind me asking? I know he had it listed for $1k
