Def. not, but having 4 wheel drive, not sure how much more traction I'd of got driving on ice at points.

I'm sure the weight of that thing helped with traction lol I've always loved the two door, never had a chance to buy one so I settled for the 3 door, I really hope for your sake that it's allot lighter then my 700 pound 3 door lol ice, snow, 4 foot hight tailgate and 500 pound machine, sounds like a recipe for a compensation case lol

Definitely a lot lighter, going to guess around 300-400 lbs, wasn't too bad unloading it.... 4 of us loaded it in to the truck.      Sold this one, hopefully I'll be able to keep next one I find.

Who ended up buying it?  A fellow member or just a random guy?

I was surprised you listed it that quick from when you got it.  Hey, at least you can say you owned a 2door Victor!  :smile:

A restorer ended up with it.   Hopefully it'll be restored to great condition once again.

There is one for sale in the Minneapolis area but the guy wants 2950 for it.. it's a 2 door victor, says runs and cools..  still too much in my opinion...
