THIS JEEP IS NOW FORSALE. Owner refused to pay bill and abandoned it. Basically selling the 401 engine, but must take entire truck. $3,500.

This Jeep belongs to a local farmer here in East Tennessee. He reached out to me to get this back up and running again. It has great sentimental value to him. He stated his has a 401 Big Block and the turbo 400 trans going out was the reason for parking. I quoted him a price before I actually saw the vehicle first hand and had to explain that the price I quoted was a little low once I saw it.
Issues from sitting:
*He salvaged parts off the engine over the years, not everything was there, and lots of parts just cut off, as they needed it.
*No battery, or battery terminals
*Cut line to the heater core
*All rubber fuel, coolant and vacuum lines dry rotted
*No radiator cap, radiator cracked around top port
*2 spark plugs were missing and the engine was ceased from contamination
*Carb leaked from all the seals
*Fuel pump clogged, fuel line rotted out
*Brake booster rotted out, brake lines rotted out
*Fuel tank rotted out
*floor boards rotted out.
*Transmission Tunnel missing
