1969 Kaiser-Jeep M715 w/winch Expedition Truck - Page 2

The car is actually for sale and I have priced it to sell at $4500. The car has been valued at $7000 as it sits. I have received one call about it but he would like to hear it run, before committing to a purchase. My buddy Curt and I will be trying to get it started Mon or Tues. Honestly, I'd rather not sell it but anytime that I can make fast money on something like this, I will. I'd use the money to buy the M715, if it did sell.

If I keep the TR6, it will either be BRG or Red. And I will not leave it stock. I'd like to keep the stock 6-cylinder but a T5 will replace the stock 4-speed. A Nissan R200 diff and CV axles will replace the rear axle components. These are all bolt-in pieces. The engine would probably get a new cam, a shaved head and EFI. New wiring is a must have upgrade. If it doesn't sell, I'm content with this being my only project. I need to get something finished.

We'll just see what happens! I don't fall in love with them. This one does hold a special place with me. I have always wanted one of these cars. The 1972 is one of the best. I think $4500 is a steal on this one. It should already be gone! I have nothing near that in it.

I am too broke. Wife needs a better job.

Also I am thinking 5.0 Mustang. It was the car when I was in high school.

I tried to get my mom to co-sign for me to buy a new 1980 Triumph Spitfire, when I graduated high school. I was working and had my own money. The car that I ended up with was a 1972 Pontiac GTO. I'm still trying to figure out the thinking there.

The TR6 will probably not sell. I hope to keep it.

The car I wanted as my 1st car was a 1980 Spitfire, in BRG.

I wound up with a 1978 Fiat 131 Mirafiori, which was fortunate. As prone to entropy as the Fiats were, they looked rock sollid relaible compared to the British cars of the era.

Back in 1985, I purchased a new Mustang GT 5.0 Liter 5-speed. It was a great car and the last of the Holley carbed Mustangs. Did lots of street racing with it. The GTO was much faster.

A guy down the street from me is restoring a 5.0 Fox body Mustang. I'll have to drop in on him and say hi. :wink:

You don't want that! It's a girls car! Automatics are for girls!

Can't remember if the '85 or the '86 had the double-hump crossmember, but that was a key part for true duals.

My '85 had true dual exhaust and the Holley carb. The '86 had EFI.
