2X

[Strokermjcomanche]

That's has went through Barrett Jackson before , sold for 12 k . Owned by James Coudright

[HOrnbrod]

Who / What's a James Coudright? 

[Pete M]

is it me or does the rear bumper look a bit bent...

[HOrnbrod]

I thought the same........

 

It's 2WD and still has the fat rubber-sheathed 2WD driveshaft also. 

[schardein]

You can tell because it doesn't have the 4x4 emblems  ;)  or the Comanche emblems :shake:

[big66440]

I'd be interested in finding out where they got the rubber floor, it looks way better than the crap one I bought from ACC.

[Minuit]

I sees a D35. And an AMC DNR radio. And that bumper looks like it's seen some action and was then repaired.

 

Why are these Barrett-Jackson trucks always built like this? "restored" is such a cheap word these days. What they really mean is "molested to my taste, probably not properly, then painted, probably cheaply"

over inflated tires, tailgate gaps are off, headlights are crooked. 2wd, bent rear bumper, note the control arm angle....will ride like a peterbilt.....why the H**L is this thing even on barret jackson?

[schardein]

Just curious-- were tailgate handles ever painted the body color from the factory?  I'm thinking they were only black or chrome.

Because Barret-Jackson is in the business of "turning over" special interest vehicles.  That is how Barret-Jackson makes their money!  The high end sales attract a lot of middle and lower end sellers.  Buyers come because we all "think" there may be some good/special value in all the weeds that we can just fix up a little and have a gem.    Maybe the seller will get his money - maybe not.

This is the only MJ I've ever seen cross the Barrett Jackson block: 90 4.0L 2WD $10,500.

 

Edit: trying to link video, stay tuned.

 

[HOrnbrod]

Thanks Mike - I missed that one.  Surprising it went for $10.5K.

[fiatslug87]

Don are you able to see the video in my link? I'm trying to load it to YouTube to link it.

[HOrnbrod]

Yes, saw it all. Even on my craptastically slow ADSL connection after it loaded. Audio was real weak, but it was watchable.

[fiatslug87]

Thanks, when I try to view it through the message link I can't see it because photobucket links it in flash format and my apple device will not run flash.

[cruiser54]

I think www.bringatrailer.com might be a better option. 

 

I'm seriously considering putting my white 90 MJ on there. 

[HOrnbrod]

The MJ was Lot #621 scheduled on the docket for today, and they started the broadcast with vehicle Lot #623. So I guess the MJ wasn't worthy enough to televise.  Bastids...........

 

EDIT: Searched Palm Beach Event Results; the MJ sold for $10,450.00.

10 and a half must be going rate, no increase in value in four years.
