That's more sheetmetal work than putting the 97+ nose and doors on it. A lot more. No way would I ever chop a 97+ in half and attach it that way unless I was going for a 4-door Comanche build. I also agree on the cab vents.
If I won the lottery I'd go for it in a second... as it is? Nope. I'd rather build one myself for that kind of money.
Now that I think about it, it might be worth it just to be able to walk into the dealership and ask for parts for a 97 Comanche (or AutoZone, etc.) Kinda like the "I like to tell the parts counter guy I have two front driveshafts" line, but even better.

Would love to have that, have thought about finding myself a manche and doing a similar build myself over time... but I would def. talk him down, I mean if you can actually get him to reply back, be like hey... got $6K cash, and see what he says... I mean if he is really wanting to get rid of it, he will prob take what he can after having it up for sale for this long, otherwise it looks to me like he is just trying to see if he can keep it out there for that one sucker that goes wow... i want that, and gives him his asking price....
id pay 8 grand for it if:
-functional airbags and COMPLETE 97+ interior.
-zero rust perfect paint
-8.8 or 44 rear
-HO 4.0L 5spd or AW4 swapped in with less then 60k
-31 inch tires, full leaf packs and springs.
I dont like the color at all, but I would consider a comanche built to the above specs for 8 grand. camanche's with straight sheetmetal are rare nowadays. Ive seen a couple in person, and all are beat.
That is way more then I would pay. If it was loaded with everything I wanted and a 4.7 stroker, I would consider $5500. but its not near what I would expect for that price.
Arizona is a revelation for anyone who's used to cars from back east. There's stuff from the '60s in junkyards around here that look better then a 5 year old cream puff from Pennsylvania. Imagine a '87/88 Cherokee with absolutely zero rust,... and 140K miles. Bare metal won't start to surface rust for months out here(or until it rains, maybe 3-4 times a year)
If it weren't for the heat I would be there in a SECOND.
That or the southeast, gambit4000s sent me a new '88 MJ fuel pump assembly from down there that, well, might as well have been new. It had a little fuel varnish and some grease on it. Not a single speck of corrosion. It replaced one that had approximately 1/8" of rust chunks growing on the outside, and was immediately coated in heavy grease.
But I get cranky and/or exhibit antisocial behavior if exposed to above 80 degree heat for extended periods of time. That becomes more like 90 or 100 if it's a "dry heat" which we don't have up here.
