But $12,000 beautiful?

But $12,000 beautiful?

In this economy.......... not likely, but when you figure it's a truely unrestored 2dr and under 30K miles....... there's a TON of life left in that rig and it'd sure make one very cool tow rig. Think of what you'd spend on a 1/2 ton truck that 5+ years old and out of warranty.......

There's definitely cool factor involved in it's value. Not to everyone of course, but this guy sure digs it. :thumbup:

If you really like the Grand Waggys as I do, (miss the 89 the Wife had) then see this site"

Ground up restorations. Actually, in typical SoCal fashion, he over-restores...

Agreed. A 10+ year old F250 with 200k on it will go for 13k

 

[XJNOOB93]

What? I wouldnt even pay 13k for a brand new ford... let alone a 10+ year old

Yes, $12,000 beautiful to me (if I had the cash). I'd probably offer him 10k though.

I'd take that Cherokee Chief over ANY Ford ANY day.

hell yeah!!!! I.ve owned only 2 In my life (one which was a sweet '72 ranchero GT w/460 & B&M C-6, and a pinto) both of which 1. were a pain in the ass to work on, 2. were constantly breaking down.3. were hard to get parts for without ordering.4. parts are waaay more expensive. nope... never again!

 

[Hypoid]

You guys crack me up!

First: Danny, what is the most you have paid for ANY vehicle purchase? I think my record is $5K for a cherry, '78 (?) CJ-7. My ex sold it for $500 after she had the title in her name.

Second: I've worked on a few of those full size jeeps from the early and late '70s. Work on a few emission-carbed vehicles, you'll kiss the next EFI you see...even a RENIX!

Third: I've noticed among all the brands I've owned and driven, they all tend to wear out, break down, empty the gas tank, and dirty the oil. I've also noticed that they all have a lemon or two in the line-up.

Quoted for thruth!!

 

[YELLAHEEP]

What in the heck would ya use this for?

'74 Blazer with TWO 455 engines, Toronado transmissions, front/rear steering.......

http://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/1936164116.html

Independant front/rear suspension, CV short shafts and the engines aren't synchronized to each other in any way.......... 2 gas pedals???? It's not tall enough for a mud runner, drive train (axle/suspension) isn't strong enough for much off road, dunno if you could get lockers in those transaxles....... :dunno:

 

[mcantar18c]

A sand truck? :dunno:

That thing is badass... on paper.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Ok, he's looking for an XJ "rolling chassis".......... but would prefer it have interior and driveline........ HUH? :dunno: What is it that he DOESN'T need it to have?

I am looking for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee rolling chassis. I DO NOT want a grand cherokee. The body needs to be in decent shape and I want a black exterior. The interior in decent shape as well, but not a huge biggie if it isnt. I would prefer it to have a driveline. Must have a clean tittle. Please send pics if availible. Thanks.

 

[mcantar18c]

LOL
"I want a hamburger... with cheese."

Yella, offer him a completely stripped XJ shell with the driveline parts and interior parts piled up inside

Wow... just wow...
Figures Wolf would be the ones to dig something like that up. Can't stand those guys.

You know its bad when even *I* think its ridiculous :roflmao:

It does have some nice parts though.......

 

[xj-grin]

It actually looks pretty well assembled... I think it could stand to lose perhaps 12" off the tires though... I bet it would pull wheelies with a 454 on 37's, before that D20 let loose.

So what's below red neck fab? 49" tires and no stretch on the drive train. The tires are almost touching. Got to love those drive shaft angles.
