Here are some responses: Yes, this Jeep holds great oil pressure and the alternator charges like it is supposed to. See new image of the gauges taken while the engine is idling. The only area of the body that has any visible rust is as seen just below the gas filler area which seems a little questionable. The body condition has not changed in the past couple years from what you see now in the pictures. I did not do any body work whatsoever, so I can't describe what is under the sealer. I can say the body appears very solid to the touch, and has no signs of serious rust-through. There is a manual choke on the dash, and helps to start when cold. The engine runs great, although today I noticed a mystery vacuum leak whistle at idle. This was not present before I replaced the exhaust header and cleaned and painted the intake and carburetor, so there may be something I missed. I took a short video of the engine running, and can email this to anyone interested. I don't see a way to upload a video to the Ebay ad, sorry about that. Thanks for all the interest, I appreciate it.On Nov-26-15 at 12:28:19 PST, seller added the following information: I uploaded three videos which can be found on youtube. Search for "Rednickeldog" and you will find them. Thanks for looking.
