NJ I would pass on that. It looks homemade from someone's welding shop from the smoke dragon era
On the other hand why not get in touch with the seller below and see what best offer he would take on his Vigilant, top loading is pretty nice for that price.
VC Vigilant $125 or B.O.

I am tempted to drive to Jersey for that vigilant, that baby would sell for an easy 500 bucks here in Vermont,

No problem NJ.
From the looks of the stove I am going to guess it's one of the older Vigilants with the downdraft combustion. It's now only a coal stove for the production models.
Below is a link which will get you the old VC manual for the Defiant, Vigilant and Intrepid.
Old VC manual
If you read it you will note pretty stiff clearance to combustibles, 36 inches without shielding so factor that into your consideration. It does look to be in OK shape, but a rebuild may be in the cards.

it is "older" but it has windows and it's enamel (it looks like it is) so it isn't the original Vigilant but people go bonkers for these rigs around here, cause they Crank!
NJ maybe we can start a little used stove business, we can export them from South Jersey to Vermont. Huh huh?

I was thinking that same thing.b Buy it, fix it up, sell it- instead of house flipper, be a stove flipper.
spohe to owner tonight- no clue about clearances, heat sheilds, etc. Said he got it from a guy that had it installed on bricks. Thanked him for calling me back, but i can't spare 36" clearance in my living room..
Now, Maybe if i built that addition .....
