UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
(08/22/2014) Given the hood bump, I suspect this has an updated motor of some type.

It looks like it could have low miles (seller reports 13,500 miles). Except for the swapped gauges it looks like a pretty stock and solid jeep. Sounds like you’ll have to show up with cash to get this one.
“Purchased new by owner and was used to transport feed & fertilizer on an avocado ranch. Has not been started in a minimum of 5 years and the carburetor needs to be rebuilt. Asking 8,500. Serious inquiries only and offers to buy it with cashiers check scams will be ignored.”
