you can probably low ball him at 3k, I'd be surprised if he knew the value of it... it's worth about 3500 I'd say

The VIN on a Smokin Joe is Diff. Lots of folks buy the plastics or a kit but the VIN is the only way to tell. I cant remember but I think it has an "SE" somewhere in the VIN or something like that. I do believe the SJ's came with the diff colored wheels as well as i have never seen a real one with same colored rims.. but that could be altered as well.
