Cjmike,
Don't know if you are still around, but I am looking at a 1975 CJ-5. Anything I should look out for with that year CJ? Thanks!!!! :)

Yep what he said. Make sure the frame is solid. Next would be to check the body for rust. If you can find a v-8 thats a plus. Power steering is nice to have as well. An older one, late 60's, with a buick V-6 in it was available from the factory. Thats a great set up. The t-18 4 speed is fairly rare and is the most valued. Other than that they are pretty basic rigs. They should have a dana 44 rear end and a dana 30 front end. Pretty good stuff unless you mod the rig out.

Ken, I had to sell her last Sept. Needed the money and it needed more money than I had to finisher her. Things have picked up though.

I have had 2 before, a 7 and a 5. Both were 258's. I have always wanted a 304 CJ, and not the 80's ones that were down to 125 hp.

She is a 1975, complete resto with a new 304. Unfortunatly, she is a 3 spd, not a T-18. Power steering, no power brakes. Steel body, not a fiberglass replacement and no rust. Actually looks pretty good. New interior and the price is right. Thanks for the input. I will send a pic or two when I get here. It will probably be after AOTH before I can go pick her up.
