Anyone have one for sale? I'm sick of my car, put too much time into fixing it and just don't like going fast anymore.
Oh yeah, I want to 4 wheel too.

Your going to trade fixing your car and going fast for fixing your jeep and going slow. (Or getting lost in the boonies, LOL.)

Simply....hell yes.:D

Let me give you some advice. Old vehicles are not only money pits, but you are always having to work on them too. I don't think a jeep even has seatbelts.

I rebuilt one in a two year project with my dad when I was 14 with the intention of having it to drive to and from school when I turned 16. After it was finished just 18 weeks short of my 16th birthday my dad had an offer he just couldn't turn down and he sold it in 1987 for $5,000. BASTARD!

As a Jeep owner (93 Wrangler) I can attest to the fact that older vehicles are money pits. Mine's paid for so it kinda balances out. My repair sagas are well documented on this board.
Just recently it would not start (Again). I had no spark. While my first instict was that it was a sensor I had it towed to a shop and $216 it turned out to be the coil. It took them an hour to diagnose and 15 minutes to replace.
Don't get me wrong....jeeps are fun but I do miss air conditioning.

That's exactly what I want Shuckins, including the olive drab paint scheme. I'd actually take most any truck, the Willys is just what I really want. Found one online for $1500 but it needs a carb, new front shocks, and who knows what else.
-
I'm with Shuckins on this one. That is a beautiful ride. I'd love to have one.

I still have Vlchek plyers from my GrandFather, from his Willies jeep.

See thats the thing.
Yea older cars are money pits.
But then again so are brand new ones.
Think about it.
If its paid for. Its paid for all you have to worry about is fixing it now and then.
Which almost always turns out to be cheaper then the $250 per month car payment.
So you dont have to worry about the payment AND repairs
When you buy a brand new vehicle. By the time you pay off a new vehicle you almost always have spent more on it then you will ever get for it.
Matter of fact As soon as you drive it off the lot its already worth less then your paying for it unless you got a REALLY good deal on it.
I just recently explained all this to my kid when he was moaning about having to spend $1,100 on Repairs for his IZUZU Rodeo he bought outright for cash $2500 2 1/2 years ago.
Other then normal maintenence which he would have to do anyway. He's spent $3600 on it.
Whereas if he had something new in the same time period if he had a payment of even $200 H would have spent $6,000 in the same time period.
and even if he had a payment of only $150 a month he still would have spent $4,500

I have a 97 wrangler sport straight six it is payed for. It has 180,000 miles on it and purrs like a kitten. I don't beat on it, when I need 4x4 it is their.
I paid $ 7,000 for it 3 years ago. I can easily get $ 10,000 for it today. The thing about Jeeps are they are the most customizable vehicle their is, and they are original. I hate the new ones they have totally lost their identity. Mine has no rust and no issues. If you buy one get a used one with the original straight six. That engine is a tank. I will easily get 250,000 miles out of her. Mine also came with this neat hood ornament.
