We bought this CJ from the elderly 2nd owner for my daughter in April of this year. It had been in California its whole life until we bought it. He bought it in 1985 from the original owner. It was used as a 2nd vehicle through the years and was built over time to the way he liked it. It was towed around the country behind a motorhome, so many of the miles are from being towed. The ODO shows 65k, however it is unknown if it has 65k or 165k. It has the original paint and decals, which are in great condition, only one very small rust spot on the driver side, see photos. The floor pans are solid. We have not sprayed the under carriage - nothing to hide. Not rhino lined interior like so many of these have. This is a solid original survivor.Too much Jeep for my daughter, and with a soft top it is simply too cold for winter driving here in Midway Utah. We added a new seats and carpet since we have owned it. Dash is original and in perfect condition. Top is in great shape with no holes, and windows are clear.


I am a car collector and have owned many Jeeps. This one is in amazing original condition. I look for original paint, unrestored and try to preserve the original condition as long as possible. If you're looking for an original Jeep with some amazing upgrades, you'll be really happy with this jeep.
