NOS interior? Repaint? Fuel injection? Where do you get the term "survivor" or "restored"?

I actually really like this, other than the tacky brush guard and lack of underhood pictures, but $28K? I know old Cherokees and Wagoneers are hot right now, but that's $21K more than my brain would allow me to pay for something like this--on a very generous day.

funny thing is theres a bunch of waggys over here that are SWEET for 1500$

but the 2dr's were always sweethearts and had the looks .....and i think that brush guard was oem optioned...tacky yes....

if i had to pick one..i think id want the chieftan ..or whatever it was called..it was a 2dr with an different roof skin kinda like a nomad

all things aside its a pretty sweet 2dr...but even at half the price its still over priced

 

[Dr.Jass]

I think the roof-skin deal was a year difference, kind of like when the pickups lost that cool "visor" detail above the windshield sometime during the '70s. My friend's '73 J20 had the cool roof.

where half of it is smooth then the back half is ribbed...thats the one...and yeah that weird visor on the pickups kinda worked

 

[Dr.Jass]

This Cherokee has the ribbed roof. It's just really hard to see in the pictures, particularly with that roof rack and the white paint. The roof rack really takes away from the effect of the ribs and the white paint washes 'em out in the pictures.
