1975 Jeep CJ Description

PRICE DROP - 1975 Jeep CJ5 - Invested almost $14k building this Jeep.
Update - I've noticed a power steering leak from the steering box, the engine oil dipstick tube has come out and doesn't want to go back in. I've dropped the price to reflect this and because I want to move on to other projects (basically the only reason I'm selling).

I'm the third owner of this Jeep. When I bought it from the second owner he only had it for a short time and didn't get to drive it much, hence selling it. He claimed the original owners put 90k on it before the odometer stopped. When I rebuilt the top end of the engine it was apparent that he was correct given the good condition of the internals. I would estimate 105-110k miles now (approx. 3k miles on rebuild). Doesn't get driven much on the road, just to get to the trails every so often.
Engine:
-Factory 304 C.I. V8
-Rebuilt top end, machined and rebuilt heads at machine shop
-Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor
-Edelbrock Performer intake
-Edelbrock fuel regulator
-MSD ignition box and distributor
-Hooker headers into Magnaflow mufflers and dumped out the sides
-Comp Cams camshaft installed this year
-Fresh wiring harness (body + engine)
Drivetrain:
-Factory T15 transmission with good clutch
-Swapped in old style (stronger) Dana 30 in front, AMC 20 in rear, both with Detroit lockers, chromoly axles
-Nice chrome wheels in good condition with 33" BFG all terrains-Disc brake front, drum rear, stainless braided brake lines

Misc:
-Full roll cage (just needs new bolts to attach to the body, old ones started to rust)
-Mastercraft suspension seats with 5 point 3" harnesses
-Custom aluminum dashboard
-Autometer gauges (two have been replaced with cheapies)
-Bestop soft top is in great condition, windows showing wear (who needs them in a Jeep anyway)
-LEDtaillights
-Poison Spyder BFH Brawler front bumper
-Smittybuilt rear bumper with tow hitch
-Custom competition cut rear fenders and custom front flat fenders
-New battery, spark plugs, fuel pump-Original vintage blue license plate
I'll likely include a speedo cable that needs to be installed if Idon't install it myself.
Please keep in mind this Jeep has been built for off roading. I have the rear seat I will include but I usually just put my dog's bed back there. The body is in great shape for an off-road vehicle. Make me an offer and snap this up for a doors-off summer.
