You cannot compare a military jeep against a CJ. The CJ will be worth about 1/2 to at best 3/4 of what a similar condition military jeep is worth.

Without photos and a better appraisal of the mechanical condition of the jeep, I would have to start the ball rolling by suggesting between $1000 for a fixer upper, to about $4500 if it is just about turnkey.

A lot depends of course on the quality of the older restoration. One man's "full restoration" is another man's rolling bondo.

Just had a look on ebay at completed auctions for willys jeep and for CJ2. If the restoration is real clean, and the jeep ready to roll, you can possibly see in the $7-10K range. But for that money, it has to be real clean. Yellow seems to sell the best.

Thanks Rob, I did the same when I came home from the tire shop and without pictures and a look at the data plate, its almost impossible to say what it might sell for. I will try to get some pictures and post here which might help in narrowing the range. I think there is some emotional value on the part of the owner, as it was her husbands. I was told that somebody offered to do a bit of paving in exchange for the jeep, which makes me think that it may be worth something. I hate to see anyone being taken advantage of and hope they do get a fair value eventually, whatever that is.

Jess
