    Got a line on a 1 owner 60 3B. Absolutly original down to the NDT tires and body color wheels complete with spare. Dealer installed Meyer snow plow, Bellvue winch, an stubby style Warn hubs. 19,000 miles. Guy's Dad bought it new to plow his driveway and haul wood. Before everyone tells me this tread is worthless without pics, I am getting them tomorrow. Is it worth $3,000?

    If it were in the southwest, I'd say certainly, but in Ohio, only probably. Rust? Frame straight? I've seen a few swayback CJs from overly enthusiastic plow operation.

    No rust at all. Floors, windshield, tailgate, frame, nothing. It even still has the rub block for the spare tire. Only plowed his driveway, nothing commercial. It still has the paper radiator tags. It originally had a factory canvas top on it. They guy said it finally fell apart. It has a Kelly full metal top on it now.

    Nope. That guy is trying to bend you over. Go ahead and PM me the name and phone number and address of where the jeep is stored, and I'll head on over there and take care of the situation so that you don't get scrooged. ;)

    Let me know when you go Clint so I can go with you....just in case you need back up. :)

    Seriously though, that sounds like a find you need to jump on.

    Very nice. I had a Meyer T5 plow pump just like that.

    That's something his dad set up to drag logs. It's just bolted to the draw bar. Off it comes.

    Probably take it home on Saturday. It already has a nice dry spot to sleep in.
