It looks like somebody put a lot of love into that machine. I can't see it in person to really tell, but I would say that if everything works and it runs, it's certainly worth $5K. I have seen real POS CJs go for close to that.
yeah, and i don't get why other then the classic car sentiment. you could get a tj for a little more, have a newer, comfortable interior, easy to use soft top, fuel injection, air, links and coils instead of leafs and so much more.
cj's are nice for a classic, but the tj is so much more refined....
