Is it from "the" Dude? Looks like something Lebowski would drive. Yes, a must-have.

Looks like fun, but in the slow lane.

Unfortunately he sold the top.
A soft top is ~$900. So it's unanimous? Go get it? Has a Buick 150hp V6. Not sloooooow, but def not fast.

If you don't own a real convertible, then buy this one.

I had that engine in my '66 CJ5. Great motor. Pretty bulletproof.

Nice to find one this original.
Most Jeeps are bought as a "starter kit" and the aftermarket parts start getting bolted on within a few minutes of leaving the dealer's lot. This one is definitely worth keeping original. |

I see you hail from Rocky Top.
You, suh, have just become a true Southern Gentleman, if you weren't one before. A seersucker suit and straw boater (and don't forget the bowtie!) will complete the look as you drive slowly around your property and into town for a Dr Pepper or a co'cola. Congratulations! |

Better look under the seats for a missing Fez is all I got to say about that thing.

Nice ride... just IMHO it would be silly to hot rod that fun little car... I would just enjoy it as is.
