There may be some value here.

“I purchased it off of Craigslist about a year ago for $2200. Being a poor college student I haven’t had the time or the money to put into completing it and now it looks like I’ll have to sell it.

It’s mostly a basketcase at this point. The frame is SUPER SOLID no holes and I got about halfway through POR15’ing it. The frame on it’s own just is just about worth what I’m asking.

The transmission is an original T90-A1 model and moves freely.

I think the engine is seized but I think it’s only a dip or a diesel bath away from turning. The block is from a GPW (think WW2 Willys). The Water pump is super rusted.

The carb is a solex type aftermarket single barrel. The oil filter is the standard paper canister kind. It has a 12v coil though I’m not sure if the gauges are 12v also (never got that far).

The Gas tank is in OK condition. There was only a very small pin hole and I used POR15 tank sealer to fix that about a year ago.

The body needs welding work. If you’re good with welding and have some scrap sheet metal it would make a good project. the floor (what always ends up going) is completely missing. There are no original seats.

The axles look solid and move freely. The drum brakes may need to be cleaned but I’ve been told by the PO that they are good.

The windshield folds nicely when installed. The glass is not correct and is something of a hack job sealed in. It would most likely work while driving.
It needs a new steering system. Some PO put a power steering system in and it has since completely gone.

What it has:

Complete hood, grille, lamps, pumps, carb, wheels, frame, brakes, tailgate, pretty much everything you see.
New radiator
most of the aftermarket soft top bow system.
ugly aftermarket roll bar
mild 2-3″ shackle lift with oversize tires.
12v ignition coil

I’m also including:
a front bumper from a wrangler as a replacement for the bent up one that came with it.
Chilton’s service manual for CJs.

Obviously, this isn’t drivable so it will need to be flat towed.  E-Mail me if you’re interested.”
