Even used Jeeps are asking STUPID money for a non abused, decent wrangler TJ//XJ. Granted they are the best Jeep Jeep ever made, but DAMN, 200k on the clock and still near 10K asking price for what is basically a worn out toy, nope! Try and find a good running and decent shape CJ-7 with a good hard top, NOPE, if you do, it's a roach hotel and they want 8k for it!
Few years ago, a 70's to late 80's Wagoneer was less then 3K for a decent one, now the junkers are getting more then that, and forget the J series trucks, looked at a really sweeet 74 J-4000 1 ton all original with the Buick 350, I really wanted that truck, but it was priced WAY too high, I couldn't see paying close to 11K for such, knowing it would take another 10K to restore it! All I want is a good vintage truck to resto-mod so I basically have a new truck in an old classic, better then ever, but not a 80K+ new truck, or new truck payment!
