1971 Wagoneer (360)

Post by JWestfall »

Found this abandoned in the back-yard of a vacant house on the way to church. It had been sitting for 30 years pretty much un-touched and virtually rust-free. Brought it home in Feb. of 2021. Spent a lot of time cleaning up, changing fluids, etc... Put and Edelbrock performer intake and carb, HEI ignition, rebuilt radiator, New A/C compressor, and lots of other things and it runs great. Did the body work and painted this summer. Just thought I would post some pictures.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

Thanks. Changing colors is a bit of a pain, but I'm glad I did. I never was a fan of the banana yellow and couldn't find new paint to match anyway.
