Yeah all up it was $10k to get it to my door shipping was nearly $1.4k so too good a deal to pass up. It's probably a little better than I expected condition wise from those photos. Interestingly it is running a 304 AMC, not original obviously but going by the previous owners comments it's been in there at least 15 years - seems a strange transplant for OZ?

Just to rub it in further that's OZ dollars, so somewhere around $6k US purchase price + shipping

I miss my old Jeepster. Wish I hadn't sold it.
 
Buzzcutter,

Great buy. Glad it was someone on the forum! I saw that on Gumtree and was super interested, especially after he dropped the price. Went so far as to get a shipping quote for a Texas delivery, but the guy would never e-mail me back. I'm sure he thought I was a scam (Hey, I'm from Texas and want to buy your old Jeep. I would probably hit delete myself). Someday, I will join the U.S. Overlander crew.

Would love to hear how it has a transplanted AMC 304. Probably a mystery for the ages.

Congrats again,
 
That's great news. I am curious as well on the 304. I'll check the VIN and get back to you as well :cheers:
 
The VIN lines up as a 1984 model year, 6cyl, export RHD, later in the run, with sequential series 125XXX, which is almost 30 thousand 1984 units (all models) past mine and several other data points we have on these Overlanders. I am also finding that the export date stamped on the tag (which is stamped in AU) has nothing to do with build date in Toledo USA, as your recorded export month is the same as mine, October. :wave:
 
As far as I know (found out the hard way) we didn't have a CJ with a 304 AND Australian compliance. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get a 304 at all in anything. My money is on it being a 360 and slipped across the pits as a 304. Can you have you checked that out buzz?
 
My wife saw this on the lift at the garage when she got her car inspected and took a couple of pictures.

Yeah that was my understanding as well, I did pick up original six from the VIN but couldn't think where a donor 304 would have even come from? I will pop down and see what I can see in a minute
 
The Hummer. Dump the Hummer. zR, do you hear the voices ? They say dump the hummer. :evil: :wave:

You can read my mind. The Hummer, the ZR1 and my Copper Brown Scrambler are for sale. Too many toys and too much insurance.

One suggestion on the shop, do whatever you are going to do with the floors before you go to much further. I wish I would have. The sheeting on the ceiling is really nice too. If your going to sheet the walls consider doing the bottom 8-10ft separate, that way if it gets damaged or really dirty it'll be easy to change.

Have been looking at sealers/epoxies already. Have the metal for the walls already as well. Will be running it side to side so I don't have to add lumber for perlings to run it up and down. So with going side to side I will have 3' sections that could be replaced.

Wow, I am jealous, I painted my first Scrambler in my garage, first the right side, let it dry jack it up, put it against the other wall paint the other side.

I am looking forward to it. For the past several years I have been using my dads shop and the 24x24 detached garage at our old house for several projects. Looking forward to having my own space. Trying to do it right the first time. The door opening in front of the jeep is a 15x24 paint booth. Hate to call it a booth, more of a paint room. Just plan on setting up some decent lighting and some sort of ventilation.
