GAS

It has the 360 V-8 with a performer intake and Edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor. I just had the carburetor rebuilt. It runs decent, but probably needs a tune up and the timing dialed in. The jeep has sat for the better part of 6 years, only starting and driving it occasionally around my property. It has the T-400 transmission which shifts solidly into gear. The transfer case has the low range shifter that a lot of these jeeps didn't come with. I believe both of the axles are Dana 44's and the front has Warn locking hubs. It has an add-a-leaf in the rear suspension and 33x12.50x15 A/T tires. They are older tires, but still in decent shape. The paint was done about 5 years ago and was an inexpensive paint job to keep the body from rusting. It still looks pretty good. I replaced the front door seals and the roof rack seals, but the rear gate and window still need seals. All of the headlights, tail lights, and blinker work good. The heater and the windshield wipers work fine. The A/C does not work, but the blower fan works fine. All of the glass is in good shape. The seats are in decent shape on the fronts and the frames, but there are tears in the backs of the seats. The dash is in good shape. The gauges don't work all that well. The gas gauge does not work, the oil pressure gauge and volt meter work occasionally. The speedometer and the temperature gauge work fine. There is no carpet or headliner in it, just the mat that was under the carpet. The body is very solid. There is no rust in rockers, front fender wells, or doors that I have seen. They are very solid. The only rust I am aware of is a little in the rear fender flares and a very small spot in the bottom of the rear quarter panel. There is a little surface rust under the roof from the roof rack leaking in the past, but it is only surface rust, the roof is still very solid. There are no bumpers for it. I was going to build bumpers for it, but never got around to it. There are some small dents and scratches in the body and paint. It is not perfect, but overall in good shape compared to most that have not been restored. I don't think it would take much for this to be a daily driver again. We are moving across the country and I just can't take it with me. If you have additional questions or want specific pics, just let me know. I am also selling this vehicle locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if it sells. THERE IS NO RESERVE! Payment in full is due by April 30, 2014 in cash. Vehicle needs to be picked up by April 30, 2014. I will not ship this vehicle, if you want it shipped it is your responsibility. I will not recommend that anyone plan to drive it a long distance, because as I said before it has not ran a lot over the past 6 years. I'm not sure how it do on a long road trip at this point, but it is entirely up to you.
