Being off the road you have to look at this as a possible project vehicle. The fuel system alone will probably need some work including a new tank. Injectors and fuel pump will soon be an issue. All the hoses and any rubber parts have a lot of age. Many Jokers have 220 volt electrical. Check that this is able to be normally registered in the states. Dennis

We're on the road in downeast Maine meandering toward the maritime provinces. In Lubec, Maine we've encountered the nicest people including a man who wants to sell his '86 Joker. Aside from sitting for two years and thus covered with the expected grunge the body is in great shape, the rubber is good, the seats show a lot of wear, the appliances all are claimed to work. The engine, drive train etc? He's been laid up & not used her in a couple of years. He says he'll have her running & road worthy for a test drive in three weeks when we come back this way. Question - what's the skinny on the Joker? I've been so consumed with my Westy I haven't looked at anything else in 6+ years. The big question - what's a fair price range?
