I am looking into buying a 1973 CJ5 here is the list. AMC 360, T-15 tranny, dana 20 T-Case, 44 rear, 30 front, 3.73 gears, 33" tires and lifted of course partly with shackles. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> drum all around, new wiring, yellow rhinolined paint job, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> That is what I know so far. Haven't had the time to do a detailed inspection yet. wants $4900 am thinking if inspection goes well $4200. Any advice is appreciated, My last project was a CJ7 I built from the ground up. Thanks

What advice are you looking for???
Sounds a little overpriced even at $4200 to me if it's in average condition. The only thing I see on that list is that isn't stock is the 360, lift, and 33s.

As far as the price goes in Kc that is a pretty good price. However we are not as bad as Texas. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
I was just wondering if Anyone who has had one knew anything I didn't. Oh and the body is excellent.

not sure how i feel about the rhino lined paint job. you better like it because it will probably take $4200 of DA discs to grind it off. the rest of it sounds good. it's the same basic setup i have on my cj7 except i have an auto tranny.

[/quote] bahahahahaha that brought a tear to my eye. bondo is a substance that when mixed with a hardener, can cover damage to a vehicle, it is then sanded smooth, painted, and can be very hard to tell the difference. but when it comes down to it, its not as good as a perfect body

my 2 cents
bondo is fiberglass resin (epoxy) with fiberglass strands or powder (depedning on type) for streigth and so that it holds a shape.
