(04/20/2015) “1965 Buick 225 V6 engine; full tune up Aug. 2013
12V with new single wire alternator Aug. 2013
Carb rebuilt (sub out and returned for install) Aug 2013 due to accelerate pump issue. The float tends to sticks with sharp left turns. The manufacturer specs for the carb float just don’t work. I had resolved before rebuild and can do again.
4 speed T90 transmission (1st is a granny) new case oil. Entire driveline is good.
Transfer case with Rhino PTO drives front Rhino hydraulic winch; 538s differentials — all new oils.
New park brake drum shoes (not installed as I wanted to ensure leaking stopped). Can re-install or provided pics/manual before my busy work season begins.
31 tires w/15″ wheels with excellent tread; digs in great. sidewalls solid.
Full canvas top (tan) and doors — kept the rain out just fine last winter.
Tow bar with swiveling, pintle hook. Must be rated 30k lbs (guessing). Way over sized for the jeep weight.
Swing gas can and spare tire rack; spare and 2 cans included. Currently gate is off as PO welded tailgate and I broke weld set up to operate the gate.
Body is in good shape for a 65 yr old. Tool box has some rust out. Otherwise fairly clean of rust issues.
Brakes — probably need adjustment. I never looked at the shoes as the tires and gearing always slowed the jeep just fine.
PO welded windshield frame as one unit, but with parts and work it can be restored to tilt open. Vac wiper works fine.
Horn is from a 1947 CJ2A, so solid sound for the purist.
Jeep is kept in garage.”

    This does look like a nice trail jeep. I’m surprised it’s still for sale

    Sometimes “less is more” when writing a description. His over-explanation of the carb issues alone could be scaring off buyers. I’m a big fan of full disclosure, but some details are better discussed with actual interested buyers. And for this price, I can imagine a buyer who doesn’t care since they’ve just assumed they’ll pay their mechanic $500-$1500 (or even up to $2K) to “sort it out”.
