So ugly it's beautiful! This Jeep is very reliable, starts every time and sounds great. Engine, trans and rear suspension were installed in 2021 by a different owner. It runs stops and drives. The electrical system works but could use a refresh. Fuel gage hasn't worked since I've owned it. Speedo works but has a loose wire behind the panel that I've been too lazy to fix. I use GPS on my phone when needed. 4x4 works well.
It's registered in a place that doesn't require an inspection for registration. I can guarantee this vehicle would not pass an inspection of any kind in a city or county that requires one.
Call or text (preferred). It's available to show most nights (after 5pm) and weekends. First $5k takes it. I'll take offers and maybe you'll catch me in a weak moment but $5K feels right to me.

Selling because this was my midlife crisis and it's time to move on. I had always wanted an old Jeep since high school and this was the perfect solution to that problem.
