Value of a postal?

[gr8dain]

I am looking at a for sale post that is local to me. It is a postal that comes with the doors, and full top. It comes with a glass tub. I guess the steel tub is a bit roasted. I am thinking the doors and top could be worth the $4k they are asking.

Seems like a good deal for a project, especially with the extra tub included

Anyone know which axles and gearing were standard in a postal?

Rear section of the frame is rotted. And I don’t have time or space for it. Oh well.

Anyone want it?

Sell the fiberglass tub and keep the top. If it was local to me this would be a no brainer. @jims chop shop

Agree. Too bad I don’t have the space (or the excess cash). And yeah, James knows about it. He sent the link to me this morning.

I personally feel postals are the most undervalued Scrambler out there. They don’t seem to bring the money.

I agree. They are like the rarest of them.

It's a tad rusty.

Yes... Dana 30 AMC 20 Wide Track 2.73 Ratio is what came in mine.

If that was near me, it would be sold. You should be able to sell the fiberglass tub for $1k at least. The top is worth at least $1500 if it has a good and complete barn door. If the side doors have the glass, they are worth $500 each.

That is $3500, and we have not started going into the other unique postal items (shifter, interior lights, letter shelf, rear bumper, etc...)

Then you have the parts that are not unique to the postals; fenders, hood, grill, drivetrain, frame, etc...

If the top and doors are in good shape, it is easily worth $4k even with a rusted tub.

It's pending and marked as no longer available(as of a few hours ago anyway)

So which one of you grabbed it?

 

[gr8dain]

There was someone who looked at it before I was able to talk to the seller. I was told he was going to get the funds and come back. I am sure it was him.

I ended up buying it. Needs a bunch of work but I have a another 8 that came as a load of parts that I can use as a donor.

Fantastic! Glad someone here got it.

Congrats! Good buy.

 

[NJCJ8]

Thanks, should be a fun project. I’ll have to open a thread when I get started on it.

How'd I not get tagged on this???

Congrats on the purchase!

And yes, they were all set up like this. The only option as they made them was the under-floor auxiliary gas fired heater for the units that went way north. Any other deviation was something after they were built. The rear diff was a trac-loc unit too.
