The Jeep has the original 304 AMC V-8, 3 speed Manual with Dana gears. There are just over 29,000 ORIGINAL miles. You will not be disappointed in this Jeep! Very clean/garage kept.
5" lift with custom SmittyBilt 1/2" steel side steps. New 35" ProComp Extreme A/T tires wrapped over 20" Bullet Hole Razor Aluminum Wheels.
The Jeep comes with half doors (pictured), full doors (pictured), bimini top (black) and a great fitting custom full enclosure top (black)- all are in like new condition. Custom built roll cage. Rear seat with new seat belts.
Custom Doug Hedman headers - dual exhaust. Runs strong, quick starts and strong gearing. It sounds as good as it looks. T150 Transmission with the Dana 20 gears - 5.29 gears. Power Steering, New Edelbrock 1406 Carb, High Energy Distributor, New Optima Red Series Battery, New Alternator, New rear side wraps, HD U bolts and spring perches.
New Warn Locking Front Hubs, Warn Super Duty Winch, Warn Bumpers Front and Rear, Custom Built Front Winch Surround and Brush Guard. Flaming River Tilt Steering Wheel - Aircraft Aluminum and Steel. New Power Steering Box and Frame Support Bracket. Heavy Duty Tie Rods and Stabilizer Bars.

New carpet and new front and rear mats. No rust vehicle. A lot of show chrome and extras, a lot of stainless steel bolts, screws and nuts. New Center Console.
Clean Title. Not much on this Jeep that is not new or been restored. Has a small scratch on lower passenger side just above side step from a trail branch. Buy with confidence. This Jeep is ridiculously fun to drive on road and off road. It will climb trials with the best of them. And, every where I go I have car and non-car/jeep people stop and talk about the Jeep, and take pictures.
Since this is considered an antique vehicle, it is very cheap to register and insure. The only reason I am selling is I need more room in my garages, and this is the one I am electing to let go. Time for someone else to enjoy all the fun in driving this Jeep, and getting all the looks and admiration from others! Serious inquires only. No Trades. Bid with confidence. Happy Bidding.
