The body on this Jeep needs some work. There is rust around the rear wheel wells and along the floor. The rear body mounts are rusted out and body mounts under the rear deck were cut out by the previous owner. The headlights cut out intermitently after ~10 minutes, the windshield wipers work sparatically, and the blower motor does not work).

The frame is completely rust free and the rear most 18" and rear crossmember have been made from box tubing.

This jeep is a solid platform for a build-up with a stout frame, engine, and transmission. I am asking $2500. No Trades. The jeep is located in Blacksburg, VA. Email me bmcninne@vt.edu

by "sold"... you mean traded for a kiddie pool, some lawn furniture, a busted yard tractor and dodge dart with an engine missing the head and only three tires, right?

The guy who bought it is from Floyd and his name is Steve Discero or something like that. His buddy Bobby said he went wheelin before with Wilfong and Stallings in his CJ7.

Yeah he traded me a kiddie pool that doesn't hold water; a dodge dart with no motor, tires, or body; a three legged patio table with matching three legged chairs; and 14 lawn mowers, none of which run.
