[Bbannongmu]

Very tempted….im sure it’s a time and money pit. I have over $3k in TJ parts sitting in the garage… kid in college. But it could be really coool…

Go for it.

Seems for me like a good offer and these things are really fun to drive.

It's a foreign made vehicle that went out of production decades ago and was imported in limited numbers (not a good combo for finding replacement parts), that weighs roughly 6400lbs empty with 80hp (or 108hp if you're lucky and it has the later 2.8L engine), top speed when new was just shy of 60mph, and it's too big to fit in most garages. Practical use is limited.

Let us know how the purchase goes.

Like it would stay stock!

It has Pa. antique license plate. That might be a problem. You're limited on how you drive it.

Those things are like owning a boat you use maybe a handful of times a year and the rest it just sits taking up space. If that is the scene you want to get in, great, but the coolness wears off pretty quick otherwise.

Buy it. Do an engine swap. camper in the back. Tell the kid to get a part time job and start applying for grants/scholarships.

This might be the winner
