This is sick...think i should buy it?

I love the wagons. Problem with them is, the drivetrain is so old and underpowered by todays standards. Parts are slightly harder to get also. They are sweet for small towns with backroads, but around this area it's a pain to drive something like that imo. My CJ is pretty slow and just able to keep up with traffic.

Best thing to do if you wanted one of those would be to buy one that already had an engine/drivetrain swap done. That thing has a flathead motor in it and may not be 12 volt either. If you want an older Jeep that is easier to get parts for and has some modern stuff on it like, disc brakes,power brakes/power steering than look at 76-86 CJ5,7,8. You should be able to find one in decent shape for around that $3500.

Buy it!

Do the five year plan. Take five years to make get it the way you want it and on the road. Body work, paint, drivetrain swap, and sell to the Patriot on year six

If I had a place to store it and work on it, I might consider it! Knowing me, though, it would go the way of the XJ and just collect dust.

That thing would be sick with some wood panels on the sides and a long board on top cruising thru Dewey Beach!

We're thinking about getting a new ride for the old lady and I was considering traiding my car in. I'd like to find a CJ to use as a daily driver for a while...something different from the Vdub.

I talked to that guy a bit on the phone cause I was curious about it. He wants to trade me for my 47 Willys project. Not to move in on yer deal, I was just curious since I like those things. It is a 12 volt system and has the flathead six. Nothing will come out of it probably since he may want cash in addition to the Jeep, plus I don't know if I want to give up the flatty just yet.

WHAT A SNAKE! haha

No big deal...that'd be sweet if you got that thing...seems like all your willys stuff should be about the same value as just that one truck...don't you have double the parts from the one you chopped up?

I do but he only really wants the axles, which means I would have to come up with the remainder. That's why I said it probably won't happen, I'm not trying to put cash out for another Jeep. We'll see.

Jeeps are gay! Real men drive Honda CRV's
