need help valuing a purchase. Original owner jeep with 40K miles. Always garaged. 258 w/ 3 speed. Original soft top that has never been put down. It has been repainted, and the only rust I could find was on the gas tank skid plate. I am picking it up tomorrow and will post pics then. In the meantime what do you think on value.....it is the cleanest Jeep I have ever seen that was not a restoration.
I take it it was green before the repaint. Under the hood doesn't look much like a 40k vehicle to me. I'd be surprised if it hasn't had rust repair done.
Yes it was originally green...then desert tan, finally orange. The guy who owns it is 80, and says all work ever done was by his jeep dealer. The owner towed it to NC one time, and other than that is has sat in his barn for trips to the hardware store, feed store, post office ,etc. He is an electrical engineer, and all of the "extra wiring" in the engine bay is for a CB with underhood megaphone, and homemade towing lights. Says he dewired all the add-ons over the last few days. I will take a magnet.
You can't go wrong with that baby as long as the mechanicals are working as smoothly as a 40,000 mile should! FYI, the oil filler cap is supposed to be painted. They were installed before the complete engine was sprayed.
