What to lookout for buying another

Howdy Guys
Im going to look at a 53CJ3B tuesday it has a fresh F134 and fresh paint knowing that what would you be on the lookout for whan buying such a vechile? I feel good about the fella that owns it everything else he has is in immaculate condition .This CJ3B is one of the nicest Iv seen in years but I always want to be on the defencive.

 

The CJ3B has new wiring harness the tranny and transfercase have been gone thru , most every thing has been gone thru all new seals in the rear ends the only thing is the owner has done all this work and still has stock brakes but this may be an easy fix when I get it home .New tires, hoses and belt.I know everyone will say what do you have 2 Willys for when you can only drive one at a time Ill just have to say its one more than I need but not as many as I want

 

you need one to use while the other's apart.

 

I won't say that, I've got 7 JeepsR). Most on here wouldn't say that eitherR).
See if he has receipts for the work that has been done. Even if he's done a lot of it himself there should be receipts for the parts and materials. Otherwise anything that isn't visual is hearsay. I'd agree with already what's been said as far as what to look for. Also check for steering play, play in the linkages, that sort of thing. Nickmil

 

All of the above. Just make sure the title is good as well. I do love the 3b, don't see too many out there, ugly as most feel about them.

 

Dont feel bad about wanting two it only gets worse from then on. At least thats what my wife says. I am now at ten and still going but sometimes ask myself why. Really don't know I just love em!
Sounds pretty nice and clean what does he want for it?
