I own a 67 CJ5 project I call, "Seņor Money Pit." It was a true barn find I discovered after it was drug out of an old barn at a northern California apple orchard where it was stored for close to 19 years.
Positives:
- It was pretty original and unmolested. Not 100% original, but close.
- 99% rust free (California Jeep)
- Price was cheap ($1,000 cash)
Negatives:
- Non-running Dauntless V6
- Stored for 19 years, so it was a rat condo so the wiring looked like a bomb hit Walmart.
- One frame horn were slightly bent. (That was the first item that was fixed)
I've had the rig for almost 3 years and its still in pieces and in various stages of repair. Hope to get it running and driving down the road. I did some paint and body work, but I didn't like how the color came out so I'm in the process of changing things up and reshooting it.
Poor rig has sat untouched for the past 2 years, so I'm just now getting back to it after a brief brake due to family obligations.
