This is one of the more interesting Craigslist finds I've seen in a while. Wonder what the back story is?

https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/2013-ford-raptor/6607644871.html

"2013 Ford Raptor in need of repair. It has several bullet holes in it and likely needs some engine work. Looks to have been shot up, but does not appear to have had anyone in it at the time."

I'm also guessing it's going to take a lot more than what he's listed in the ad to get it back on the road. I'd be surprised if the gas tank and some electronic components aren't toast also.

This sentence just blows my mind. Looks to have been shot up? Is there any other possible explanation? Killer hail?

Is it assumed no one was it it because there aren't blood stains? How do you get a vehicle like this? Auction?

Likely was stolen in great shape, driven to a remote area and torn up /shot up after the perps boozed up and/or used it to run drugs.

Ad says "no tire kickers"
I'd lean towards obeying his wishes.

On a side note, I probably wouldn't fix the tailgate and quite possibly some of the interior.

For real happened to a buddy of mine in Houston. Was not a Raptor but,was stolen from Washington area. Found several days later in the middle of a South Texas ranch after being chased by Border Patrol. It was toast.

does he say what caliber? i'm looking for that exact model in 5.56...but if that's cartel related it may be 7.62...which is a little too large/gaudy.

Replace the windshields, and leave the rest like it is, once you get it running. You'd get lots of looks!

I bought a project 2000 GMC from White Trash Central in Amarillo a couple of years ago. It had an AC/DC cd in the player, a baseball bat stashed in the folded up real seat, and a bullet hole in the left front corner of the bed.

This was the same pickup that the previous owner asked to keep a short length of chain he had clipped to the hitch. He said it was there because it was a white pickup and "...they used to drag black people behind trucks..."

I'd have quickly backed away from the pickup and dude selling it. No no no.

I had already given him the cash, I had the title in hand, I had loaded it on a trailer and chained it down. This was literally the last thing that happened as I was about to drive off. So while I agree with your sentiment, the deal was done, and this was his little aside as I was about to leave.

So I let him take it, I jumped in my tow vehicle, and I got the heck out of Dodge (downtown Amarillo)

I imagine the raptor story is that the previous owner went offroading on private land and got stuck. Land owner finds truck and decides that he can't be responsible for someone placing their vehicle on his shooting range behind his targets.
