I bought this jeep from a friend who has owned it since 1988. The car blew a head gasket and kept fouling plugs so they parked the car. I bought it with the intentions of a minor project but it snowballed. I built a brand new motor for it and it runs great. Heres a list of some of the new parts that were put into it. The motor is a 258 4.2L straight six.

New pistons rings, and wristpins - all machine work done by Service Auto

The interior is black with leather seats and is in excellent condition. The dash is still soft and not cracked or faded anywhere. the transmission shifts perfectly and feels very smooth. Four wheel drive works great. The body is in good condition with only minor rust spots by the rear wheels. I painted the enitre frame, front end, axels, etc with chassis saver wich converts rust into a really strong black paint. The motor starts up and runs perfectly but does need some final adjustments to the carburetor and vaccum system. I have a push button start currently wired to it. The brakes also do not work, Im not sure why. I have a full Rough Country 4" suspension lift that has all the leaf springs, shocks, track bar relocaters, drop pitman arm, transfer case drop, and steering stabilizer that i willl also throw in for an extra $500.00 This jeep is 90% finished and has the poterntial to be a beautiful car with a brand new motor. All of the work was done very diligently and by prefessionals that have been in the buisness for over 30 years. Im sure Im missing a lot about it so come and take a look and make me an offer. I need it sold as soon as possible. (203) 506 7820 or email me at jackobrien836@yahoo.com
