There is a 1982 Tucker listed on EBAY if anyone is looking.

looks like a decent, practical, working machine
Link didn't work for me...
The photos show a few things:
The left side kick panel (just forward of the door) and the right rear cab lower section (behind the door) both look rusted.
Exhaust stack is missing the top angled section, or cap of any kind. While that's obvious to anyone, I mention it because my first Tucker came with a rebuilt engine. Bill Guthrie told me water came in through the unprotected exhaust and destroyed the engine. I would think that would take more than a few raindrops, but if it's been sitting outside for a while I'd want to make sure the engine ran well and the exhaust system wasn't rusted out either.
Also (obviously) missing all the Tucker emblems on the front sides of the hood. These are no longer available from any source I've contacted.
The left door looks "tweaked" as even in the closed position you can see daylight just behind the window.
If it's a 1982 it must be early production as I believe that's when Tucker changed from the less than optimal butterfly style hood to the one-piece tilt forward type. I think they also changed the steering system by using a much shorter steering column and moving the orbitrol under the dash.
The all new sprockets are a plus, but when seeing the hydraulic ports just above the rear pintle hook it suggests use as a groomer. The apparent necessity of rebuilding the transmission and transfer case, as well as new U-joints imply some hard use.
