JeepcoMJ Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 *shrug* I just wouldn't ever pay more than $1000 for a 2.8 of ANY sort. and especially since it's not all that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no $#!&... You live in WI.... I can't beleive you paid 250 for a bed.... :rotfl2: lol. the 87 was $750...in scrap (which was leftover from the rest of my projects lol). the 89 (red swb) I had was $1300. the black 87 I just sold a couple months ago was $600 but then $200 to get into shape. looking at another one (rust free southern 86 2.8 liter) for $600...simply to scrap everything in it but the body, because the diesel's body is not restorable. generally you're right, but even I'm having a hard time finding these jeeps for a good deal now.

ejndssn Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 :rotfl2: :rotf: not a power house of a motor :ack: now if that was 92 with the same kinda miles they may have some interested folks. i'd drop kick the 2.8 and put a 3.4l to bad the wasn't a variant 3.4l 24v that could mate with a ax-15 and maybe the toyota 3.4l 24v would be the option. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 2.8L dog... Wish I could find something that clean, with a 4.0, and local, but for a lower price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 "This truck was never used for anything but t drive an old man around" Rust on top of of tailgate and tweaked rear bumper.... Old man my @$$! This truck was worked. For $1K or less it sounds like a good parts truck for body panels, or a rust free start of a project. Then again, the engine bay is too old for a 4.0 without some mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The inside of the bed is nicer than the outside... :rotf: Nice truck over all, but definitely not worth what he thinks. You never know though, someone may think it is... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Anyone ever do a MPI swap on a 2.8? I used to work on a guys s10 Blazer that had a MPI engine from a Firebird in it. It moved OK. I remember seeing that truck for sale on e-bay before, probably when the dealer was selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 "I purchased this Comanche from a large dealership in Alabama. It was traded in by the original owner for a brand new truck." I'm quite familiar with this Huntsville Lincoln - Mercury dealer and they don't sell new trucks, unless he's referring to a Navigator or Mariner or something. And I thought I'd seen all the MJs around the local AO. Missed this one. :D But can't blame a guy for trying to get the most he can if some mullet is willing to pay............

aemsee Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I could be wrong, but I don't remember that truck being for sale in Al when it was on e-bay before. Seems like it was further north cause I had it in my "watch" folder. Aw heck, maybe it wasn't even this truck :nuts: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do, he got this one :rotfl2: http://www.lincoln.com/marklt/home.asp Bad thing is he would get that price here in Columbus :doh: I seen a 2.5 long box that looked like it had been hit by a train sale for $2,800 Last year:hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
