     This 1981 CJ was bought new by a doctor that would check the working girls in rural Nevada. He put 62,000 on it then parked it out in the sun in 1985.

    I bought it in 2001 and have put 22,000 more miles on it. He had put an aftermarket hard top on it at some point, other than that it is all original AMC.

    Not running or drivable yet. Put in a fowl shed in 1941 and unused ever since. It has had three owners since then but each one just took it out of one shed to park it in another. I am working to get it drivable but how far should I go. The rats and mice have destroyed the interior and the covering on the running boards were a "tripping hazard" so I am looking to replace the leather on the seats so I can sit in it. I cleaned up the wheels prior to putting new tires on it so I can move it. It has one spark plug thread stripped out so first job is to repair that. Next week I hope to make the two hour drive to recover the top from where it was left rather than risk damaging it while it was being transported home.

    It is a long way from South Bend, It was sold new in 1920 in Australia where it still is.

    that is a beauty.  the spare and the wire wheels are spectacular,  keith

  2. i think a great project.  Difficult and a pain i am sure for the spouse to take these photos.  Key would be a engine block photo since i see engine parts hanging on the wall.  confirm the jump seats, glass for windows, curtain shades are there etc.  a very very solid project.  also would be nice to know for a potential buyer if nuts and bolts are labeled in cans and fit what part of the car.   if all loose reference bolts then more of a challenge.
