(CJ-)8 * 0.75 = (CJ-)6 
I mentioned in my CJ-8.com (Re)Introduction thread that I have been looking for another old CJ. I've seen some very nice ones on the market, but they've pretty consistently been out of my reach financially. That said, I wasn't looking for a major project, but rather for a solid "survivor" that I could drive & enjoy, and tinker with here & there. I've always been a fan of the unique and/or ugly Jeeps in-general, and what I found fit the bill beautifully for me. In the process, I may have made a new friend in the seller, as he seems like a "brother from another mother", despite being a couple decades younger than me.
This '71 CJ-6 fire truck should hopefully be delivered to me within the next week. It was originally purchased new by a fire department in Ohio, and has just 5,760 original miles. It has the odd-fire 225 Dauntless V6, which early CJ owners really seem to like. It needs a tune-up and some brake work, but it does run/drive. I was born in '71, and this will actually be the first '71 I have owned, aside from one disassembled Jeep project that I just bought to part out almost 20 years ago.
It's not a Scrambler, but I'm certainly thankful to be buying suck a unique, solid survivor. It'll also get driven, mostly on 30-50 mph roads in my area, and won't be wheeled. I will, however, use it as somewhat of a farm/ranch truck around our property, as-needed.
