Seems to be an add-on for any vehicle. Looked at it and seems to be quack tech. All you're doing is replacing some of the gasoline with propane. False economy since you're burning propane instead.

And if memory serves me correctly burning propane in a gas fired engine actually gives you lower mpg. A mechanic I lived near as a kid changed his ford over to run on propane during the energy crunch in the early '70's and he told me he lost some power and mileage. Probably some quack thought he could re-engineer his engine to do something better. But the milage he claims I got better running straight gasoline.

That and it looks like it was left outside most of its life with all that rust.

I finally have one of my own to add to this thread... check out the 'cart' portion
(I've been seeing this ad w/ some frequency... and it's been taking a lot of resolve on my end to not e-mail this guy and ask about this 'custom' setup...

D'oh! It's Bubbles!
I should check to see if he's got an ad for Shed & Breakfast, or the Kittyland Love Centre!

I also love that he starts with (I didn't clean it for the Pics). I could see someone at a street corner where, instead of asking "clean your windshield?" he'd ask "do your brakes?". Real classy. That's where the value is!

And the stupid continues...


"Can be converted to 6' very easily if need be. 700 lbs. Capacity"

Ok... you might 'convert' them to 6', but it'll be a one-way conversion...
And I can only imagine on how he determined the load rating :popcorn::yikes:

Why would I pay $16k for a 3 year old 8k km sled when I can get a brand new one for $15.5k? Obviously didn't do much research or the used sled market is way overinflated.

I know people will sell just about anything but really? It's barely 1/2 a liter!

It's also missing a motor. It might be ok. I had built one about 20 years ago and the BIL is still using it.

The price?
Well, besides that. Take a close look at the headlamps / front bumper cover, and also where they join up with the front fender.

That's why he called it a 'Rainvoy' :laugh:

I can only imagine what it looks like in person. They're showing the '20 foot' view, and it looks like @ss, even from that far away. Prolly why they dared not show the full-on front view.
