Misc. 1962 Fiberglass CJ-5

[K7elh]

Okay guys,

I have a 1962 CJ5 with the 4cyl engine (rebuilt about 6 years ago) and it's been sitting for about 10. It needs a bunch of TLC and I'm wondering if it is worth it. I also have a 1970 Chevy C10 I'm restoring, and the boss tells me I don't have time (or money) to restore both (which is true).

In the group opinion, would it be worth it to restore it? There is no rust in the front clip (only the tub is fiberglass).

I appreciate your opinions (even if they are that I'm a hair-brained idiot!).

You don’t need to restore it to enjoy that gem. Just get it running safely.

I agree... Drivable is likable!

Another that would just get it road functional and USE IT! It actually appears to be in decent shape. Way better than most stuff you find these days. The only caveat here is with the F head, you will not be going anywhere quickly.
