History is it was owned and lived in Atlanta GA from 2006 to 2025 when it was acquired by us from widow. The truck was owned by a true enthusiast that loved this 110.
In 2009, flooding happened in ATL and the owners neighborhood was flooded with rain. The 110 had water up to the door bottom but no further. Upon inspection the vehicle was serviced including fluids, and no other issues were noted. The insurance company issued a salvage now rebuilt title to all vehicles in the neighborhood even though this 110 had no damage.
We acquired this one after the owner passed away and we dove into sorting it, as it had sat for a few months. We completed the work above and brought this one back to a drive grade to be able to enjoy.
This truck has had some prior paint work, paint peeling, and some rust in a few areas. But overall, shows very well for its age and has “the look”.
Currently, it could be enjoyed as is and driven anywhere, or taken to the next level if desired. It is a piece of history that only few than 400 remain out of the original 500.
