Is this worth saving?? 81 4 cyl..

Save them all, only a few… as for worth… that’s another question and depends on your goal. You want to flip it, drive it, take it car shows… you doing the work, can you weld and paint… this forum is very knowledgeable and helpful but will need more specifics and more photos of engine bay, interior, bed, frame, etc… well wishes

It is going up for auction.. my first thought was make it a driver and use it to plow my lot in the winter but after going to look at it today I think there's more work there then what I want to take on... I can do the work I'm 71 and not sure I want to. I was hoping it would have been in a little better shape.... Guess it depends on the price at the end of bidding.

New York history would scare the tar out of me.... rust in NY is a whole 'nuther level of scary.

Having said that though, everything is replaceable on these rigs.
 
Save it! More experienced eyes can help me is that a 5 on the driver's side?

I'd say it's a 5 between it and that Willys wagon. Looks like a great cache; imagine if it was in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona..... anywhere dry. What a find!
 
What a wild decal set on that thing. Never seen any like that. Maybe a Super Scorpion package?

;) (that's just a joke, it's some owner-installed generic set, to my eye)
 
I understand the Super Scorpion package was aimed at the metal heads. Wildly popular in the mid-west. Came with the top-of-line Kraco Super Bass system, factory fury wheel cover and an AMC skull shift knob. VERY rare.
 
The VIN is worth something. You could build your Jeep around that with all new parts much easier than wrestling with that rust bucket. Get a TDK frame, and an Aqualu tub before they're gone, Painless wiring harness and drivetrain of your choice. That should keep you busy for a while. (y)

Sorry to dig up an old thread but just had to clarify.

Aqualu isn't going anywhere (at least any time soon) - the current owner, Todd, is retiring but he's got another party lined up and ready to continue operations. :)

We're building bodies like crazy right now and happy to take on more orders if anyone has anything they need! Feel free to reach out directly to me at luke@aqualu.com.
