Talk me outta this guys!

55' CJ5 clear Ohio title claiming 12k miles, odometer shows 13k and works, everything is orig except new 12v wires, and alt swap. 5.38's, twin stick, working pto, 3 speed, 12 pack leaf springs (is this normal?), 134 runs great. Tub is 90% solid floors have a little thru rust, body has 3-4 tennis ball size surface rust. Everything shifts, works, and does not leak. Owner truly believes the mileage is orig, paint looks orig, but he is getting me the numbers of the trim plate, data plates are all there, dash is not hacked up at all!!! $3k would prob have this in my garage and I have been looking for a 55 for a long long time! Help... can not resist. ANy help on what else to look for as far as orig equipment would be great

 

do it. sorry, im not much help.

 

I'd buy it. Sounds good if it's what the seller claims. Restoration material.

 

Sounds good to me. That would be a nice price on one that original.

 

:uwop:

someone had to do it

 

Waiting on the pics right now, I guess they are pretty large in size, so it is taking awhile for him to upload them. I really did not expect much help from anyone here If it is as orig as he claims, and I will post pics as soon as he gets them to me, I plan on figuring out a way to grab this. I really wanted a flat fender truck, but I am not sure I can pass up something that could possibly be this orig. This will be a resto not a mod if I do grab this

 

Just do it.

 

Sounds like a great deal.

Let me know if you end up passing it up. I have been looking for a while for a new resto project and would definatly be interested in picking this up if you pass it up (which you shouldn't)!

 

Naw I Can't do it I tryed too say pa** but it would not come out sorry no help here!

 

Alright I am going p on ues or so with a trailer in tow, I will be in Baltimore all weekend, If it is what he says it is it will be coming home here are some pics:

 

He is sending me more, but like I said there is 4 sticks coming through the floor

 

OMG, jump on that!

 

Didn't you just sell your 67 with the rare T18 Tranny that was relatively rust free? That's the one I wanted. What does this have that your 67 didn't besides a cool speedo and a pto which you could have added. Since everyone elts was being supportive I figured I would try to be the voice of reason. You have a problem.R)
















Ok I'm done...Lookes great! bring it home!

 

X2 looks hacked up to me R)R)R) 80's rollbar and seats, pretty rusty too R)R)







What's his number :twisted:

 

You are going to have some work ahead of ya. Not mentioning any hidden problems.
