This Jeep is originally titled out of Virginia and has a clean title from there. It was purchased by the current owner in Alabama.There is NO title from Alabama as they DO NOT issue titles to vehicles older than 35 years of age (Chap 8, Title 32, Code of Alabama 1975)

Runs and drives like it should, shifts smooth and handles well with nice brakes. Has Weber carb with electric choke and headers with single glass pack. Starts fine and has good power.It has the normal appearance of a stock CJ engine with electronic ignition and so forth.
It does have some blemishes to the body and a couple of small tears in the front seats (see pics). There are the normal rock chips and other wear that occur with normal driving and this is a 37 year old SUV.The rear frame rails and crossmember have recently been replacedwith Safe-T-Cap replacements by AutoRust and are rock solid.
This is a nice example of an iconic Jeep that needs a new home.
