I recentlly acquired a 1973 cj-5 spring over lift, 2-3 inch body lift, 35 inch tires with 80% tread, Custom front and rear bumpers with winch mounts welded in, A little rust and a very straight body. It has the stock 304 that looks like it has been rebuilt within the past 2-3 years along with the stock trans. Dana 44 rear rebuilt 1 year ago and a dana 30 that I just had rebuilt. Ballpark me gentlemen. I just want to know how much this new addition to the family is worth. OD reads 88,000 and change but that means nothing as you know.:? :?

Whatever value it is to you while you own it, and whatever someone will pay you for it when you sell it.

 

Re: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

More than $100 and less than $10,000.

We have a sticky about this on the ECJ5 forum. http://www.earlycj5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20325

Probably not as much as you think. Go to ebay and check the prices there. Jeeps range from 1500 to 15000. Of course I think the guy asking 15000 is smoking crack, but that's another story. You will probably never get more than you have in it, unless it was a family discount or something.

Good luck

Just a comment - generally modifications like body lift and spring over are a negative on the resale value. The most valuable Jeeps now are fully-loaded (PS, PB, V8), factory condition and low miles.

I've seen customs selling for more than $10,000, but they seem to be show cars that someone has put many times that amount into.

You might find a buyer that would appreciate the mods, but custom cars are like custom houses - harder to sell and priced lower.

 

Why not. no pics, $2000-$3500. A true trail rig CJ can bring $8000.00+. Sounds like a nice Jeep, but doesn't sound like it falls into the valuable trail jeep or restored jeep categories.

 

I second Tim on the body lift and SOA.
