Cj-8 rant
Im tired of people thinking these things are made of gold. This thing will need a ton of work to be respectable. I wonder what the reserve is?eBay Motors: Jeep (item 320353290344 end time Mar-31-09 14:25:04 PDT)

that thing is ruff. might be ruffer than mine.
T-176 $AMC 150 , Dana 300 $AMC 150 , AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l $AMC 150 , wide trac axles $200. Anything else thats good just covers the time and energy of parting it out. Didnt I say somewhere that if I had it to do all over again Id start with something in better shape? 
Ok that doesnt count if its a CJ8 . Still with the amount of travel Id have to do I cant bid much higher than I already have.

Lissten, 8's are pretty cool, and it would'nt mind having one. I would not for one second go over the top over one and spend a fortune. With the exception of the much desired Jamboree , It's still just a Jeep CJ. They have no real over the top collector value, and going nuts to buy a wreck and sink a fortune in will net you a more than decent loss on you return. If I really really wanted one just because, I can go into th 4WD Hdw catalog and buy one. you're right, people have these 8's and think they can retire on them. Just not worth it.
And this guy touts it as being all original. Um, that bed area doesnt look factory to me and we all know whats under there. If its all original and its worn out and rusted WTF? Id make it into a wheeler. This guy thinks its a restore candidate.

Seems to be gone??? It was pretty close to me, and listed as , No time to fix, took it apart several years ago, was running, glass body not on the frame, all parts to put it back together, exellent frame and running gear, etc etc. Usual stuff. But 600 bucks was dirt cheap for what he listed.
