Sounds like it has some old school updates.

“350 Corvette engine. 4-speed manual. 4WD. Front locker. New BFG all terrains. Garage kept for most of its life. Paint still looks brand new. Has a bikini top and soft top. Front bucket seats, rear bench. Tow bar.

A really nice jeep in its heyday but has been sitting for 15-ish years. I had it running and drove around the block about 1 year ago but has been sitting since. It does need some work as reflected in the price (fully updated and driveable Jeeps like this go for $14,000+). Built by my uncle before 4wheelparts existed so you will have to spec parts on your own.

Needed immediately: front and rear leaf springs (flattened out), bump stops, and maybe shocks. Drum brakes need a good flush and bleed. Will take a little go-juice for the carb to get her running but then she purrs.

Needed short term: a few leaks will need new gaskets or hoses. A couple of the gages need replacing.

Would be a great project for someone who will take the time and appreciates this kind of thing. Any work can be done with basic hand tools and some reasoning since this was made before computers or specialty tools.

Selling because she doesn’t belong locked in a garage. I took her from my Aunt thinking I would have time to work on her but never did. The money will go to her so I can’t budge on price.
