These days finding a good scrambler is almost impossible so I would snatch it up no matter what. It should be a easy swap I think.

It's not that hard to find a good scrambler, it's whether the bank will lend you that much money

The red one for $3500? If so, I heard it was sold to a dealer in TX within 45 minutes if the CL ad. That was a great price.

My guess is that you will see it show up at Collins Brothers. But that is a hunch. I hope they don't just yank parts off of it. Either way, they will ask big $$ for whatever it ends up.

About 6-7 years ago I found a 79 CJ5 Silver Anniversary in CO selling on CL. It was all original. I was negotiating with the seller and we closed in on a price of $4000. The next day I called to finalize the deal and the seller sold it for $5500.
My gut feeling told me Collins Bros grabbed it. Three days later, I checked their site and sure enough it was sitting on their website in the same exact condition as the pics on CL selling for $13,500
I don't think they even washed it.

- 1979 Jeep CJ7 TH400 Automatic 258 I6 Quadratrac Amc 20 rear & Dana 30 front, 32 x 11.5 x 15 tires. Currently a Complete Custom Rebuild in progress.
Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.
I really hate that. I grew up that my word was worth more than money. I taught my sons that too. Too bad the rest of the US has gone to
