I've been on the lookout for a truck for NorthernDaddy. He stated he wants a truck with four wheel drive and character. I found the truck he needs!

Through a friend I was made aware of a "barn find". The super-secret property located somewhere north of Front Royal, Va. had an old Jeep Cherokee sitting next to the barn. When my friend investigated the Cherokee further, he discovered two other trucks hidden from view. One of those trucks turned out to be a 1967 Jeep J3000. This truck was bought in Alabama and has an almost pristine body. The sheetmetal including the cab, hood, bed, and tailgate are all straight and have great paint. The truck has every option available from 1967 to include power steering, power brakes, and get this...factory air conditioning! The only real work this truck needs is a carb rebuild and new seats.

The asking price is $3500. I think with a little time and conversation the price could be lowered as the owner is a real estate agent who happens to be selling the property these trucks are sitting on. My guess is he will not have another storage space for the J3000 and will need to move it when the property sells.

So - NorthernDaddy, this is a great truck that needs little to do what you want. OR, how about one of Jackson's Papas picking up a great project for a cute grandkid? Of course the truck would need a home for the next ten years or so and I will be glad to store and take care of Jack's new truck!
