I've decided to put the famous (infamous) Island Queen up for sale. Some of you remember her from the Roundup in 2011...others from posts I've made over the years. She's served well as a yard utility vehicle here at my island after serving many years as a "surf fishing rig" on the outer banks of NC.
170 I-6 that runs great. Vintage Air AC that used to blow super cold but now needs a charge and the blower motor replaced. Shift column needs some love..worn out and hard to get 2 and 3..as they so often are at this age.
Everything is rough..from the skinned Chuck Norris seat covers to the duct tape and drywall mesh body rust repairs. The rear brakes are currently stuck and the fuel tank needs replacing..it has a rust hole. Rearmost frame sections need a lot of TLC too.
Front and rear axles are both locked; to assist her former beach fishing duties, apparently. No idea if the locking is accomplished via Detroits...spools..or courtesy of Lincoln. Suffice to say..she never spun a tire launching and recovering boats for us all these years.
Rare period roof rack goes with it...water skis still attached. ;D
Believe it or not...the vacuum wipers work..and the fuel/vacuum pump recently rebuilt. Oh..and, of course..a clear title matching the frame VIN.
