UPDATE 2: This is a scam … one of the stranger scams I’ve seen. I flagged the craigslist ad as spam.
UPDATE: I posted this in October of 2010 when Freestyle Magazine’s blog captured this unusual jeep rod.
“Rebuilt Chevy 327 V8
Lowered on Enkei Muscle Car Springs & Shocks
New Off-Road/Snow Tires
Chop Top
Documented Military History
Transmission Will Not Shift Past 2nd (C4 Corvette 4 Speed
Radiator Leaks
No Stereo, No AC, No Heater, NOTHING
Speedometer Doesnt Work, but not a problem because of the transmission. will trade for a tuned import, bagged truck or another rat rod or pre-smog muscle car”
That C$ 4 speed comment surprised me. When JP magazine featured it it had a clapped out TH350:

The more I think about it, the more I think that this is a scam. There’s no way this is a $2,400 rig…The tires alone are a grand.
As an added bonus, it’s got a whole lot of ugly that comes with purchase!
SCAM!!! Don’t click link
How important is that documented military history?
I’m in agreement .. scam. I even thought the documented military history was a bizarre comment when I posted this.
Still think it’s ugly….David, are you sensing a theme here?
Bob — the theme I hear the loudest is that you don’t want it for Christmas … 🙂
Yes, that pretty much is it. That steering setup is a riot.
