    Grew up riding a Honda 90...and have casually been looking at them. But with a big-city move coming up probably best not to go there...;)

    I've had two, both were '66 v6's. The first was all original V6/3 speed/d20 Warn 5687/OD full length hard top, sold during a financial crisis, the second was a roller with no drivetrain that I found for a friend, was stored at our place and he sold it to me when he bought a diesel Comanche. I slowly put it together over a period of several years with the following CJ6 body/ Commando frame(direct bolt on) SM420/D18/Warn OD/full floating Dana 44/FWDB/hydroboost/ Saginaw PS/Hydraulic clutch/4;88's/OBA/LinkArc welder (premier welder predecessor)/warn 5687 winch /MSD 6246 oddfire ignition/TBI fuel injection ready to install.
    My CFO decided we should move to Texas so I parted it out. No one could even come up with 50% of the parts value. About the time everything was sold, Covid broke out and we were stuck in Alaska, real estate went stupid in Texas and by the time the Covid stupidity was over, the CFO decide we should just stay since we couldn't sell out and buy a similar place in Texas. So I am without a CJ6 it took 11 years to accumulate the parts for. Color me not happy! There are several other CJ6's here in Alaska that I know of, my original '6 and a '72 ? with an AMC V8 and hardtop.

    Add one more in Massachusetts just south of Boston. I know of 5 other people in MA with them (one posted on here). Uncommon enough but still out there.
