Editor's notes
Sold strictly as a project: stripped after an attempted theft. 1.6L fuel-injected Sidekick engine (about 50k miles on the engine; the listing's 50,000 odometer figure is the engine's, so truck miles are unknown) runs but needs starter and wiring work. Needs lights, wipers, exhaust, brakes, seats, interior and paint.
