Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Goodyear Wrangler tires, rear-mounted spare.

Condition

Paint has a lot of issues from flat spots, fish eyes, scratches and cracks. Tailgate was resprayed and does not match. Sticker on the hood is very cracked. Engine bay looks decent, as it was recently cleaned and detailed. Underneath looks to have been recently sprayed to cover wear and tear. Interior is decent with seats that have been recovered, but the dash is cracked and the carpet is faded. A presentable driver in off-road-ready condition or a candidate for a straightforward restoration.

Market commentary

So far at auction this year, vintage trucks and SUVs have been on the upswing, and that of course includes old CJs. This very strong result for a pretty tired example corroborates that.
