The one I am looking at now the seller is asking $4000 obo and I have
learned (thanks to all of your wisdom) that, that is probably about double
what it is really worth. I am working on trying to figure out what would
be a fair offer to make on it, and am considering making the condition
that the current owner has to get it to run first. I should be able to
get a deal on it since it has been sitting since at least June with a "for
sale" sign on it, but that is going to depend on how bad he wants to get
rid of it.
facts on it are: (some might be off a little since it is about 100 miles
away, near home but far from school)
-currently not running, no idea if it will run (hopefully modify this
before buying, if I get it)
-body in reletively good shape, some rust on bottom and frame but no
obvious major rust or body damage
-formerly owned by a fire Dept. in the Upper Penninsula (Mich)...ran when
they gave it up, but has sat for a while since
-engine block covered by a thick layer of grunge
-tornado six
-delivery date of 2/67 or 2/69 (my memory is getting bad)
-paint is a faded out red (from fire dept.)
-spot light doesn't work (locked up)
-glass in one of the back doors is cracked
-no lockout hubs
-missing door between drivers compartment and patient compartment
-drivers seat looks to be non-stock
-exhaust system is shot from muffler back
-vaccume opperated wipers
-24v system
-inside of box modified by fire dept. to serve as an equipement truck
-ignition isn't by key but is by push button starter and cutout switches
(this is probably original but it also means that I am going to need
someone to talk me through the start up procedure)
-radiator looked dry the last time I visited it but it has been a while
since it is by home and I am away at school
-still has oil in the block (not sure about gear boxes)
-lacks batteries
-some of the lights are going to need replacement early on because of
damage (i.e. broken lens, bent housing, etc.)
-old gov. plate still partly there (at least the top 1", easier to cut
than unbolt is my guess)
well this is probably a long enough description for now.
any help would be appreciated since I would like to add a vehicle to my
signature and I don't think that the CJ 7 I've been working on quite
counts :)
Thanks in Advance to everyone
Rob in Mich.
