Dang, I didn't think it was that rare or wanted. It's a stick. I think a Peugeot tranny. 4wd and runs like a top. I can't believe it did when I got it. He said the clutch was out and it didn't run. I stuck a battery in it and bleed the clutch and was off to the races. I might be interested in selling it. I don't know.

Of course theres interest here... it's a Cherokee board.

I'd love to see Ol'Blue here aquire this...

Court-low. Obviously you now realize this isnt the rig to chop up and hit the mud holes with. Too bad it's not in better condition, you could have really had something here. I'd like to see more pics, looks like they had one-off seat fabric of somekind. Proably some other differences as well.

its a beautiful thing...dont sell it put as much blood sweat and cash into it as you possible can and keep her...not only is it a classic its very very rare and on top of that its a JEEP...not to mention 300 made how many do you honestly think are still in existence.

Ole' blue you are the first.
This thing use to be blue, someone painted it yellow and the fabric is has a red under liner and has been cover in gray leather. I wish I could have gotten in better condition. It's not bad, It needs new seats. It was missing a rear seat so I bought a gray one from a junk yard and it fit perfectly. I haven't touched it other than that. Someone put tubing on the fenders too. The suspension is identical to the XJ.

That is pretty cool!

I would say, if you dont have the time and/or money to restore it.
Let someone else do it. Thats an interesting piece of history right there.
