Up for auction is my 1981 Jeep CJ7.  I have owned this Jeep for 21 years and I have had many great experiences with it.  For the first ten years it was my daily driver but then I retired it to a farmers field for a few years when I started to covet things like heat, protection from the elements and overall reliability.  After about three years I started to miss the Jeep so I bought a fiberglass body because the original steel tub was so badly rusted and so started the rebuilding process.  After tearing it down I had the frame sandblasted and I welding in new crossbraces and the mounting hardware for the new body.  I painted it with black farm implement paint that has really held up nicely and looks nice.  The suspension was replaced with a 2 1/2 inch lift.  The engine was still strong as I had replaced it with a crate factory rebuild about 15,000 miles before parking it but I gave it a new intake, Holley carb, Hooker headers and an aluminum valve cover.  The wiring harness, all the guages and lights were all replaced but I have not been able to get the gas guage to work.  I suspect I recieved a faulty new part somewhere between the sending unit and the gauge.  I kept the original color, the paint code is OK, really, OK is the paint code.  The exhaust is stainless steel the whole way and all the fuel lines, brake lines and hoses were replaced.  I still have a Best Top soft top and doors that will go with the Jeep in the sale but I never put them back on since it has lived in my garage and I only take it out in the summer anyway.  Whoever buys it can install them if they wish. 

Those of you that know about Jeeps don't need to read any further but those that may be buying their first should know.  This vehicle does not have all the safety items that a modern car has.  It is uncomfortable on long rides.  It is loud and uses a lot of gas.  It doesn't have heat, a radio, interior lights, storage compartments or even a rear seat.  You will undoubtedly have to tinker with it and after tinkering with this one for 20 years it still marks its spot with a few drops of oil in the garage.  It is, however, one of the funnest things you could ever drive.  Your male friends will ask you if you want to sell it all the time and your female friends will want to go for a ride.  Nearly every Jeep owner that passes you on the road will give you the Jeep wave like it is a fraternity and old dudes will go into long stories about the Jeep they used to own and wish they never got rid of. 

So, if you are interested happy bidding.  If you have any questions feel free to email me.
