A man I know is relocating his auto repair shop across town and he has a bunch of vehicles still sitting behind his old shop, which is right beside our new shop. I asked him about two XJs that he had left sitting back there. He pointed to one and said that it belongs to a friend of his, but he might want to get rid of it......Then he pointed to the other one and told me that one was his....."why, you want it?"......"You can have it, I've got the title back at my shop"......At this point I wasn't sure if I(or my wife, or anyone else that knows me) should be happy or not about owning another junk Jeep to add to the collection. After looking at it, I think I scored.
The guy before him put a new transmission in it and then the engine blew up, so he gave up on it and sold it to the man that gave it to me.
It's a 4.0, automatic, np231, power everything, leather, sunroof.....it's a Wagoneer Limited with all the funky wood interior trim and the big wood stickers down the side.....just my style. Other than being ugly and having a blown engine, it's really not that bad at all.
There is also a 3/4 ton 78 Ford on 44s sitting out there......I may have to strike up another conversation.
Anyway.....A couple of hours ago I dug down deep and found the energy to go pull it out from behind the shop and onto the pavement so I could get a good look at it and get some pics to post.......only to find out that my wife had taken the memory card out of the Camera so she could have the pics developed, and I didn't think I needed to bring the big camera bag with the extras in it.....so no pics. Tomorrow though, and then you guys have to help me figure out what to do with it. I've got three or four different ideas for it floating around in my head right now.
