Your info is a little off btw.The front axle is from a wagoneer or grand wagoneer.The first ever grand cherokee was 93 the zj which came with a dana 30 low pinion.And what is the rear 8.8 from ?

 

JMHO but a very special one to buy and plan on getting about 40 cents on the dollar invested as a normal return on one that specialized. About the same return as a race car or a HP Street machine, as I know all to well from 40 yrs. of selling my own.


The rest of your money must be considered as for the fun you had with it while owning/driving.

 

Thank you for correcting me, it is from a grand Waggoner. So My question was as to it's value.


I think your right Fred. it was fun. Thank you. Somebody will get a great buy and will be light years a head from the usual junk out there.

 

No advice was taken from this post Fred haha.

It's custom op. You won't get what you put into it.

 

Value is hard to say,Where you live can be a big part of it.Around me that would go for 5k to 8k range.

 

I would agree with that for my region as well.

 

Yes and we only hope that all of our labor of love for something and the money spent goes to someone who will appreciate what it is, not a mommy/daddy purchase to be turned into junk in short order. I have winced at the shape of some of mine in as little as a few months. One was a $48,000 car I sold for $21,300 and 9 mo. later saw it in a salvage yard blown engine and wrecked on one side.


Yours is a very nice example of a Jeep anyone should be happy to own and you proud of what you have done to it.

 

You definitely went high with the price for your FS thread. You posted the thread, so I'm hoping you're interested in people's opinions, so don't take this wrong... I think you're going to be hard pressed to find someone willing to pay $12.5K for an 80's era Cherokee.

 

It May be a 80's Cherokee but I think it's almost new, Except for the body.
Fred rec. 40 cents on the $ and that's where it is. It doesn't ride, or go, like any one out there. You'll never have to worry if it will make the trip.


Any way thank you all for your advice, appreciate very much.
Dennis

 

Just my 2 cents... I hope you get your asking price. Good luck selling.

 

$12,500, if that is 40%, then you have $31,250 into this Jeep? Ouch!

 

he has receipts from shops...probably half that cost is from installation...the build was twice the cost it shoukd have been if so

edit: justc says receipts. You did do the work yourself right OP?

 

i don't think the price is that far off. most any lsx swap is going to run you $8k at minimum. this jeep has a lot of nice extras. my only beef would be with the work done, you never know exactly what was done until it fails, especially on swap cars.

 

Shop labor for all the work and overpay some of the parts could be $10k.
$31,250 - $10k = $21,250 at 40% = $8,500. That's a good starting point.
