Was that You? Red 130 N/B route 89 AZ

[nickt]

Hi,
I caught a glimpse of what looked like a red 130 camper northbound on Route 89 in Arizona on Friday. It had two spares on the back.

Anyone know anything about it?

Maybe it was a G-Wagen fire-engine... :)

Hmm. Might have been. I'm sure the one I saw had a camper body though. CAn't be too many red 130s around though!

Cheers,

Art, Is that the machine you bought in Phoenix???

I wish!
No, the one in Phoenix didn't work out. I couldn't get the unmotivated seller to take it the the mechanic to be inspected, so I gave up on him. He was great at making excuses, and the vehicle sounded like a great find (36K miles for < $30K) but after a couple weeks of his BS I'd finally had enough.
Luckily located one here in Denver with a few more miles, but I had it checked out throughly and it's in great shape, also the selling price was much lower and left plenty in the budget for goodies. Now the fun begins - here come the mods!
