I will be out of town during NWMogfest - this would have been the perfect opportunity to check things out.

Based on everything I've read, I'm going to go with a 712m!

Wish me luck!

There's what appears to be a really nice one on ebay. I don't know anything about it other than what's showing on eBay.

I've been bidding on this one... Any guess as to what the reserve price should be?

Awful nice looking pinz maybe Mr. Mason will share what the build cost was ? I imagine that's the reserve.

One things for sure the rear seats are ugly!!

I would guess in the high 20s? I wouldn't sell that one for less than $35K, but that's me.

At that price i'd say it was a steal. It looks like the passenger middle wheel has a hub leak?

I read the owner's comments regarding the restoration work - Do you recall doing any work on the gearing?

Thanks!!!

Sounds like a decent deal if the truck is a nice as it appears. I guess it all depends if the mods that have been done are something the buyer would want. Personally, I think that the truck (nice job Brian) is pretty sick from the pics, but those of you who know me realize I couldn't have a truck that clean. I would feel too guilty banging it around.

I know it seems pricey to some of us, but 712s aren't exactly a dime a dozen any more, and one that nice is pretty rare indeed.

Well - I just made a commitment to get a 712 from T-Lo.

The one on Ebay is NICE - but not exactly what I'd want - too nice.

Now I guess the learning process will begin!

Congats and post pics when you can.

Good move and a well thought out choice. Lolo's putting together a 710m for me as we speak; from parts though and I think it is just too damn hot to go looking outside for what he needs!

My scientific reasons for choosing Thilo was anyone crazy - lolo - enough to sell Outrigger Canoes in Arizona was my type of guy. Hope to "summer" in Bend with my 4 wheeler (when I can figure out how to retire) so maybe your 712's "little brother" will cross paths again someday.

P.S. - what a great forum! Hope to become a regular once I have a Pinz in the garage . . . May have to drop offerings to the gods of SoCal on my way to Long Beach to see if they will let me join in the idle banter Seriously though I have read almost every post and there is an amazing amount of information . Thanks all!

Note that the 712 on e-blag was at $20,101 when the auction ended - reserve not met.
