More work to be done, but there could be value here.
“1950 Willys cj3a Jeep. This is a 95% complete jeep with original flat head 4cyl. “Go devil” engine. It is not running needs valves replaced but cylinders look good. I have a box of parts for it as well ( including the original seat brackets that allow passenger seat to fold fwd.) comes with a new tow bar. Tires will hold air for a day or so. I do have Colo. Title for it. Not interested in parting out as it only needs a few things to be complete. Asking $ 2200/obo.”

I fell for “95% complete” once…never again!
Tim,
We’ve all been there. That’s how we learn π … Back in 2007 when I got back into jeeps, my first purchase was a $600 project. It had a hacked MB body, wagoneer axles, and 350 cadillac engine. I wasn’t worried about all that, because I planned to customize it anyway. Still, there was so little value in it by the time I took it apart that I was lucky to break even on it.
