It seems in nice shape. Not familiar with them, sort of cool though.
And anyway, first car's are supposed to be cheap and affordable (unless you;re loaded) Im only just able to afford to insure a bigger car now after a year of driving
heres a video of it running
I love those little cars!

Shortly after I got it in front of the "Jeep" sign that faces I75 and is in front of the Toledo Assembly Plant.
Took acouple vacation days last spring to tear the front end trim off, add some tow hooks, add a skid plate, and repaint the grill, headlight trim, headlight retaining rings, bumper, and bumper trim. I also added some cheap HF offroad lights.
Around the same time I discovered a ton of play in in my front steering parts, I replace most of it and upgraded to a V8 Grand Cherokee tie rod.
I also installed a set of AJ's Rock Rails during that spring.
In answer to all of the ricers who have the chrome decals on their gas door, I did this up.
Lastly, I need to install these. The brackets are custom A pillar brackets.

This is my 1987 dodge dakota. It was given to me for a first vehicle, but it's far from being street legal. Aside from fixing and repairing its needs, and a good coat of paint, I plan to give it a 2in body lift, 2in rear blocks, and cranking up the torsion bars. With that set up it should fit 33's nicely. Since i plan to wheel it.
Here she is..

Here's my truck. '84 Nissan 720, 2.4 litre 5 speed 4x4. I rebuilt a fuel injected Z24 long block, converted it to run a carb & swapped it into the truck.

Here are a few of mine... I have more pics of all of these.
First the 96 Pontiac Grand Am... It was actually pretty fast, it's still a legend with my friends. lol It had a pretty extencive mods list.
Then, I sold that, and bought a brand new 2004 Pontiac Sunfire. Tons of mods done to this one too....
Had that a couple of years, and traded it in for a truck. Which WAS my 2000 Chevrolet S-10 ZR2. Did a few mods to this, nothing major... Wheeled it alot.
So thats been traded in.... FINALLY! As most of you know I've been car shopping for sometime now. I needed a family car, but didn't wan't anything boring. So I bought a 2004 Chevrolet Impala SS
Fully loaded with every option imadginable...
Yes it's fast! It has a supercharged 3.8l v6 that pushes 240hp and 280lbs of torque, stock. I will be modding it to go faster. Look for some vids of it soon....
Ive also had some cars that I dont have pic of on this computer. An 89 Chevrolet Cavalier Z-24 and a 1985 Mazda RX-7, also had a 1986 Ford Bronco Full-size with a 4 inch lift.
What about the jeep.???

Nice, mine is the 3.9 4x4 but its the 6ft short bed, and its an automatic Normally I'd must rather have the factory 5 speed, but an auto should work well for wheeling.

Long story short,the outer duals where replaced only by the PO. Both had gone completely to pot. Since then, I've brand new BF Commercial traction tires on the rear, a flatbed on and west coast mirrors.
