I sent an email to the owner of the other 3 (haven't heard back yet, I think) The '84 with 360 for $1200 seemed to be about the best I have seen lately. The (last) '77 with 4 speed isn't too bad either though. Jim Blair, Kirkland, WA '87 Comanche, '83 Jeep J10, '84 Jeep J10, '73 J4000 (RIP)
Hi all, Back in May when I bought my J10 I took a look at this one, he lives pretty close to me: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/407566701.html It has a fair bit of rust damage, but mechanically it seems to be in good shape. In May he was asking $2500, if I remember correctly. If I were more of a mechanic I would probably at least make the drive down to this guy: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/406670550.html and three more trucks: http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/car/405328778.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/car/405124100.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/404799602.html - --tag _________________________________________________________________ See what you^Rre getting into^Ebefore you go there http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_preview_0507 ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #2909 **************************
