1983 Jeep CJ-7 titled. licensed & insured.  

$17. 00 
It's been in two competitions total (Western. IA) and won the big tires class both times against many other nice rigs with bigger tires. tractor tires. Uni-Mog axles. tube buggies etc. . so I would say it's a proven vehicle.  
Been to Moab once. CO one the way back and a couple places in MO besides Iowa.

Frame off rebuild done about 8 years ago.
Over the course of time. I've probably spent over $35. 00 on parts and hundreds and hundreds hours of labor to make this one of the best wheelin' Jeeps around and it is still streetable.  
I just drove it to a Cruise night in June.  
It would make a plus 75 MPH trip down the Interstate if you wanted to.
Its been wheeled only one time in the last 2 years. so that's the reason for selling.  
Probably wheeled about 25 times since frame-off rebuild. Lots of life left in most everything!
