Picked it up yesterday. Power washed a few years of dust and bird crap off of it. Replaced some fluids and battery. It fired up after a few min. of messing with it. Found a few rust areas but still in really good shape nothing rusted thru and its all pretty fixable. Even had the orig. owners manual from 1979 in near mint condition. Its been sitting in a barn on a horse farm for about 3 years. The owner was the 2nd owner and he has had it for about 15 years. His wife used it to haul horse trailers. They got divorced about 3 years ago so he just never moved it its been in the barn ever since. He said it was always stored in the barn and it shows there is no fading or craking on the interior and very little rust.

Got it running today even drove it around the yard a bit. This things a beast jumping out of a 2.5L YJ into this v8 is like night and day I cant wait to wheel it. I want to change all the fluids, replace some hoses and Vac. lines, filters and hope to have it tagged by Friday. Not a bad deal for $500 bucks.
