I don’t think you understand how David works. He brings a trailer to pick up orphans who need a complete overhaul, not Jeeps that have already been overhauled and are ready for someone to wildly overpay.

Wayyyy too nice for him. Drive it into a lake and leave it for a year or five, then he’ll come sniffing around maybe.

So this is what Tracy wants his Jeeps to be?

I’m sure he’d love to own one this nice, but I don’t think he has a strong motivation to achieve that level of restoration. There’s always another orphan to rescue.

Hard pass.
(oshit. The former Chrysler mechanic and avowed SJ guru hath arrived.)
This is an ‘89 survivor, unrestored. It’s as good as any other 150k unrestored SJ, just with less rust. Which is to say it is very very bad . The AMC 360's wear, well, unusually let’s say. And stock ‘89 blocks are... not great. Which is to say the castings are full of slop that makes them a pain in the ass.
Worse, the interior is shot. Sure the carpet looks okay, but that’s not the original carpet. And the seat upholstery is completely shot. Armrest is completely shot. Wheel is shot under the cover for sure. How about the seat motors? Those love to burn out. Rear window motor working? Don’t see any evidence. Headlight switch is a cheap fix at least. Dash cap however, ain’t.
But that’s definitely rust on the interior Grand Wagoneer badge. If you got rust there? You got rust inside . The WORST place.
... you’re right! This is David Tracy bait. Or it would be, if it wasn’t on BAT, where reasonable valuations go to die.

I won’t reveal my sources, nor will I spill any details, but I have it on good authority that David's fleet is growing again.
