No doubt, I see lots of Jeeps in the Pull A Part that look to be in good enough shape that they should not be there. It seems to me people get disgusted with all their failures and ditch them.
As far as the Wranglers, Rubicons and models like that, I don't know much about other than the Jeep Freaks I know, pretty much gut all the suspension and axles when they get them and re work all of it and end up having thousands invested. I think I'd almost prefer a Yota 4 Runner or Truck over a Jip and if I couldn't get past the ricer, I think I'd even have a Bronco before a Jip. Of course FIRST choice is a K5 Blazer over any of them.

Im sure you dont find many CJ3A's in the local pull-a-part. And as far as the older jeeps go, ours is factory with 5.13ish. our is also like a 51.

Once I get my 74 Square all freshened up I'm moving onto my 69 Jeepster. It's a nearly rust free, great interior basket case...LOL. It looks cool, and has a buick in it...good enough.

An old buddy of mine had a Willy's with a Buick Even Fire 231V6 in it, and converted to keep all the original manual trans and Tcase. That damn thing went places I never imagined it could go. No fancy tires, no lift, just pretty much OE but the motor. Plenty of power. Damn near climbed hills that were about as close to straight up as you could get without flipping backwards.

Reminds me of ours, but we still have the straight 4 in it.

There was a '67 on the local CL recently, it had me a little interested, mostly because the 3.8 and th400. I would like to own a 70's Cherokee Chief one day, but without the AMC motor.

Yea i wish the yard i worked at had some older stuff but if we get a 99 or a 00 then we are looking at stone age material lol. We get almost all newer stuff that only has 100,000 or less miles on it. I dissambled a 2011 Monte about a month ago that only had 31,000 on the clock and it ran like new of course but had been hit in the rear hard enough to buckle it above the rear tires.
