Body Damage is Cool
it's the guys that fill with bondo what should have been patched with steel that give bondo a bad name. these jobs are very recognizable as the bondo falls off in large wafers with nothing behind it but some rusted out sheetmetal.

i do agree, when done right bondo is great, i have a bondo'd up back corner on my dailey driver, looks a hell of a lot better then when it was all crmpled in with bits of a crappy past bondo job breaking off. If it runs and drives (well drives like any jeep does) then go for it.

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.


Correct me if I am bona fide wrong, but there were a few early 70's CJs with the 360 and the 400 as options...I have seen them in the past and they weren't swap-outs...also--while the 33s aren't stock, they can fit on a stock early CJ with minimal spring rub on hard turns and of course bottoming out.

No, the CJ never came with a 360. Never as a factory install. Possibly by a dealer, but not out of the factory. There is no AMC 400. There's a 401, but again, never in a CJ.
