Ok save me from myself. I bought this a few years ago, got it "running", cleaned the barn find out of it and then parked it. I don't need it. I need it gone. But everytime I touch it I think "this only needs like $300 in parts, tires, and a few weekends worth of work to be useable"
The good:
It runs(ish), engine doesn't make noises, trans and transfer case seem to work. It's not to horribly rusty. It comes with a new soft top and seatbelts. Has 2nd set of OEM wheels. 4" shackle lift
The bad:
It has some rust holes but isn't "rusty", someone rhinolined it 15+ years ago which sort of stopped the rust but it's not perfect by any means. 4" shackle lift. It needs a carb rebuild (Webber 38 DGES) fuel pump and the drivetrain clunks. No rear seats. The included 2 seat hardtop thing is rough. The Swampers on it are shot, and the tires on the OEM wheels are 25+ years old.
I have the top bow and a new hinge kit but it needs the header and side rails and hardware kit (~$100) so you can install a soft top. The door handle on the driver's side is broken and it's missing window handles ($75 eBay).
I have both front seats but no rear seats. The seat belts I bought are universal 3 points for the front and retractable lap for the rear but they look like they will bolt right into the stock mounts.
Parts for these are pretty cheap.
Obviously assume it needs typical old car things like Brakes/belts/hoses/mounts/Ujoints etc.
But it's a $1500 running* Samurai.
Central Illinois, has title.
I can get more pictures or info anyone wants.
Sweet Sami! And a great deal. Down here in FL that would be 5000$+, even with rust since they all rusted.

In reply to TJL (Forum Supporter) :
It's probably $5000+ here but I don't want to mess with it right now so I'm giving it a few days on GRM to try to let someone else live their Sammy dream for cheap. I'm not into it for much so I'm passing the deal on. But if it doesn't sell quick I will probably fix some stuff on it and FBM it in spring for way more (but I don't want to do the work and bump other projects)
Man, if shipping wouldn't cost as much as the truck itself... I love the Sammy
Who ever buys it, I have some NOS repair panels

But does it come with the gooseneck hitch to pull my sprayer?
I'm glad I just put my extra cash in my Roth or I'd be parking this out at the farm just to bomb around in. GLWS

It can.
Pictures sent to who asked.
This thing is cool! I wonder if I can get my parents to sign off on it :D.
Darnit all! I have been looking at 4x4s and then you post this. Anything you interested in trading for? This could be a Junk Connesuriers project vehicle.
I want to buy this. Pm sent

This has sold. Thankfully it will no longer taunt me.
It's staying in the GRM family so we will be able to follow it's life.
Congratulations. It's a solid Sammy after seeing all the pics.
Purchased by me!

Congrats! Good buy!
Great buy! Wished I would have saw this earlier.
I'll go check my Sammy parts collection and pass them on. Probably nothing left but I'll look.
