Hello folks,

I am hoping to find some 4 wheelers who knew the late Kenneth Earles of Jamestown. It is my understanding that he was an avid 4 wheeler and all around good fellow!

In particular, I am trying to help his estate sell his 1988 Suzuki Samauri, along with what appears to be a parts car and some additional various parts.

I know very little about these cars and need your help!

If you have any interest in purchasing this vehicle and parts or have any information as to what the build entailed, etc. Please let me know!

Thanks in advance for any help or information!

B.

Not sure about his rig but I've built quite a few Samurais. If you have a few photos I could tell you what you have into it. Samurais are funky because they are becoming pretty rare but unless you have something mint with a swapped in diesel, they typically hover in the $2k to 4k range most of the time depending on the shape of the body and equipment.

I had one that was frame off, powdercoated everything, interior/exterior lined, repainted, 16v swap, spring over with YJ suspension...people told me it was newer than new. I think I got $8k for it about 4 years ago. I hope that gives you an idea.
 
There's one in the FS section here for crazy money. it's a very nice build with a lot of money spent on it. Wanting to say it was a VW diesel swap.
 
Go to zuwharrie.com, he was a well known member on there and many of the members on there will be a big help with selling his rig.
 
just sent a message to you! Greg aka sami davis was a good friend of ken s aka surly I am sure he would be glad to help if no him a few others from Zuwharrie attended the funeral service and I am sure one of them could would be glad to help!
Thanks

You can contact me here or on Zuwharrie under the sammi-davis name or on facebook as Greg Beasley. I will do anything I can to help you through this process.
 
I was close to Ken and helped quite a bit with the Samurai in question. There should be a blue and red one, and neither was a "parts vehicle." Both ran and drove before his untimely passing. If you'd like, I'll send you my information in a PM here and you can contact me. I'd like to see his estate go to good homes.
