Body is painted with matte clear. Have extra old T84 and other MB axles if wanted. Need rebuilding.

Still needs seat covers, windshield frame, brake lights, and speedometer but would negotiate including those in sale for right price. Since building this has sat in my cabin garage and only put maybe 20 test miles.”

1967 CJ-6 Perkins Diesel Windsor, PA $11,500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Matt shared this rare Perkins diesel. It has the correct serial number plate for a diesel, too. It does have rust.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/149327051514207

“1967 Jeep CJ-6 with Perkins diesel engine. All original and minimal rust compared to most CJ’s of this vintage. Very rare Perkins diesel engine runs but will need rebuild. It will run but smokes excessively and is low on power. Injection pump and injectors have been rebuilt. Production numbers suggest that less than 600 CJ-6’s were built with the Perkins engine. The body and floors have rust in all of the typical locations but is not a total rust bucket. Please be familiar with the rarity of this Jeep before you criticize the asking price. Clear Pennsylvania title included. All low ball offers will be ignored.”
