I wouldn’t own a Jeep. But I would throw money at this Ferarri. Maybe I could put the engine in something else, I have a mill, lathe, band saw and a TIG welder. I could put it in a Garden Tractor. Or Datsun Truck.. or a Jetski. Or a .... hell, I could get myself on YouTube on Insane Engine Swaps....

I believe you meant to say “Tow it".

“I just don’t really get why anyone would want this car. I owned an ‘85. It was perfectly adequate but that’s about it....”

Whoa, Dan J, good memory. I don't remember what I ate this morning, much less what was posted on an obscure website 100 years ago.

Quick? Plenty quick? Compared to what, a Glacier? You could put a 4:56 in the back or a 5:33 and it still wouldn’t be quick. It wouldn’t be fast if you dropped it from an airplane.

$8500? Quit smoking that stuff, you’ll think more clearly. That is a $1000 car, if it is in really good shape, it might be a demolition derby weapon though, but those were built a little bit light, nothing that some welding wire and some DOM tubing won’t fix. Actually, it’s about a $350 car.  

Mold/fungus spores....can you say, Valley Fever? A co-worker got it last year (I had thought it was an old wives’ tale, but I guess it’s a real thing). He nearly died from it, and was out for 9 months. Don’t mess with mold/fungus.

David, David, David.........there is more to life than working on Jeeps.

It kind of gives you an idea of how many people make some really serious money. Our kid’s husband, could probably talk his employer (high tech in downtown S.F.) into giving him one as his bonus (yeah, they pay him that well. It makes me think I should have gone on to a higher degree in school).  That is one very cool…

4 cylinder 2.7 ?    When you can get an aluminum 6.2 in a half ton?  I DONT THINK SO!

No, not everyone.  I live near Santa Barbara.   I have to buy sunscreen by the gallon and screw that snow noise.  Same with snow tires. 

I pulled up behind a funky old BMW sedan on the highway over the weekend, for probably a half mile behind when I was gaining on him, I could smell anti-freeze. You didn’t happen to be anywhere near Santa Barbara this past Saturday, we’re you?

“You didn't use those towels in the bathroom, did you?"

What lengths? That hillbilly doesn’t have a garage. That bubble POS cost about $29 at BigLots.

And I’m sure that at 310 or 355 hp, you have about a 1500 yard lifespan for that Dodge junk engine.

I have to agree with you. You said they were “trading in the mid to low teens.” I’d say, $1150, maybe $1175 tops.

If you're buying private party used, you get no warranty.  Especially something that has been adulterated.  

No, No, No. 15 degrees negative camber is correct, with about 295/35 profile tire, on a 5 inch wide wheel.

Mr. Barth, this is just an opinion, but I agree with you 100%. We used to do so much, nearly every weekend, I’m surprised we are all still alive (nobody died). But......I gear we are raising a bunch of pussies. Risk averse pussies. Oh yeah, Eating Tide Pods is pretty risky, also pretty stupid too. My “Safe Zone” was…
