Drool on this 60,000 original miles bought it from a old woman who's son got sent to prison for 10 years for 1,000 bucks 6 years ago.
Swapped out the 305 for a 350 out of an old chev van put aluminum heads on, new radiator, ignition system, cam, 850 cfm carb, air gap, pistons, valve springs, full custom exhaust with no cats. but its got the original rear end and a granny tranny still so its not done. But it sounds wicked and can leave a mean 1 wheel burn out lol.

Painting the jeep was practice for the camaro which I will do in the garage with expensive paint.
I want to do it flat black and put a skull and crossbones on the hood.
