Dirt cheap CJ7

After a little work and a hard top

I have a friend that junks for a living and he got this Jeep CJ7 for junk.

He got to looking at it and put a battery in and it turned over. So what the hay, he put fresh gas in the carb, and mind you the little CJ7 had been sitting for about 10 years outside, and then he tried to start it.

Damn thing started and didn't run too bad. So in the mean time he was thinking what was he going to do with it. A week or two passed and he gives me a call and I'm kinda looking for something to do over the winter so he starts to tell me about the CJ.

Ya, it runs and very rusty but just what I'm looking for. OK, here's where the money comes in. I ask him how much and would he go $250 sight unseen. Yah, I'll take it.


Larry's Comment: That's quite a deal Tim! Keep us informed about any progress on your CJ7.
