Sweet! :)

You must have a nice penny in it already. For a CJ in that condition around here they want high $$$$ for them.

Looks good! I personally would be checking the tub for any bodywork/repairs done by previous owners though.

The right rear corner has been damaged. There is no bondo, but you can see in this picture if you look closely enough, that the lower right rear corner is not perfectly straight. The rest of the body tub is perfect, ... no rust.

I paid $4500 for it. So far is has had a thorough, top off, seats removed, cleaning, and I have removed both aftermarket bumpers and installed an OEM replacement front bumper. I have also replaced the dash pad with a new OEM replacement dash pad. The seats are next on the replacement list. It still needs lots and lots of work, but at least it was in pretty good shape to start with.

It has 116,000 miles on it, and actually runs good and strong. It has more torque, and feels a lot more peppy than my 2011 Rubicon does. Of course, it has several rattles, and the steering is vague, ... and it has manual brakes, ... so it is a whole different driving experience compared to the 2011 Jeep.
