Thinking of buying this '71 CJ-5, is it a good deal?

Sounds good to me. The first thing I noticed was the carpet. Check under it for sure as was mentioned earlier. Sounds like a lot of nice mods already.

 

Hahahaha... there was a reason I made sure not to post any of his contact information.

I do promise that on the off chance I don't get this I'll post his information. If I don't get it at least somebody that will appreciate it will end up the jeep.

 

Yeah, some of the people on here are just pretty shady. R) R) R)

 

Buy it and park it in southwest TN. and have a cop watch it for free.

 

T-18 swap would put the t-case lever further back on the floor.

$3500 sounds like a heck of a deal for that rig. Unless there are some serious gremlins hiding under that carpet, I say buy it.

(My prediction is that the shag is there to hide the tranny hump. Remember - with the 4spd swap, the floor plates are what most people have trouble making look stock again)

 

I still haven't gotten it and it's still for sale... this thing is taunting me. I called today and emailed, I looked over my finances and it will be tight but I want this vehicle!

 

You'd better get it before someone else does! I hate it when that happens.

 

It's now sitting in my driveway... hehehe...

Oh, apparently in the ad online he forgot to mention that it has a locker in the dana 44 in the rear.

It was interesting getting home, I took the freeway and it definitely drifts around more then most things I've driven. I'm not sure if the speedometer's right because it said I was going 65. I think I was going slower then that. Anyways, spring will be very interesting with that thing!

 

Sweet! Congratulations!

 

Great news sounds like a heckuva deal!!!!!!

 

Congrats

 

That Jeep will be much more fun on the trail.

 

X2 Congratulations

 

Congratulations, SWEET

Good times! . . . Good times! . . . R)R)R)
