This jeep is really good looking with gray metallic paint and light blue flames. It has a little rust bubbling the paint near the battery. The interior is in decent shape. It has a 4" lift and 31X10.5 BFGs on aluminum wheels.

It has a hard top and a bikini top.

It has a Chevy 350 crate motor with 2000 miles on it (300 hp, I'm told). The tranny (Turbo 400 with AMC bellhousing and a Performance adapter) was recently rebuilt by a respected local shop. The oil pan says, "GMC Hydramatic."

The axles are Dana 30 front with limited slip, rear is Model 20 with limited slip. It has Warn hubs and has been changed to a vacuum actuated 4WD switch in the glove box.

Problems: 1) It has a HUGE stainless fan on it and I was told it has had cooling problems in the past. 2) When I was test driving, it lost fuel and died. It has an electric in-line fuel pump and I could see that the tiny, clear fuel filter was not flowing well even though it is new. The owner said he was going to replace the line between the tank and pump and had already removed and cleaned the tank.

Anyone know any problematic history with this year, model, etc.? Any ideas on the fuel delivery problem? Is it worth $8500? What would you offer?

Thanks!

$8500 seems pretty steep for a body that has rust and a Jeep that doesn't run quite right.

Seems a little steep. I sold my CJ7 76' though for 5k and it only had 76k miles.

Noooooooooo.

I bought my CJ for $5300 2 years ago and it's a hell of a lot better than that.

Fiberglass body and front end, 350 and TH from a Suburban, DOM cage, brand new 35's. Yes, it needed some cosmetic help and I had to do some fiberglass work to get the ventilation system lined up properly, but I drove it home 30 miles away. Mechanically and electrically sound.

Jeeps may be made of gold, but that's just not worth it.

no, but hell no. you can buy an almost new tj for that, a 78 even with all that equipment is only worth about $800 to $1500
