Re: The end of another Wrangler era
 

LOL... You guys can settle down, your TJ's and LJ's stand as much chance
of increasing in value within the next 3 or 4 decades as a 95 YJ.

"woohoo I got one of the last square headlight jeeps!"

Heheheh You guys crack me up seriously here's a reality check. Besides
WWII Jeeps:
CJ10's (the rarest Jeep out there) pop up on Ebay and sell for a few
grand some less than 3k.
CJ 5's can be had for dirt cheap unless it's very well restored, in
which case they go for about a third of the money it took to restore it.
I see nice ones go for 3 or 4 grand with entirely new drive trains and
full resto
CJ7's are a dime a dozen unless they are special or filled with
expensive rock crawling gear. 1k will get you a running project, 3 or 4
will get you a chevy or AMC V8, lifted with big tires and nice wheels
that needs some minor work or a paint job.
A good Willy's 4x4 wagon project truck can often be had for around a grand.
Any solid running FSJ or J truck can be had for sub 2k to 3k (excepting
nice lifted examples of course)
M715's, which are surely the second most collectable Jeep (again besides
historical WWII's) are all over the place in price... from a few hundred
bucks to 6 or 7 grand for one that was completely restored.
Commando's and Jeepsters: see CJ5's

So don't go putting them in long term storage just yet.

Re: The end of another Wrangler era
 

I helped a friend of mine sell his restored '46 Willys CJ2A with extra
engine, transmission and other assorted parts. Couldn't get $4K for it.
Ended up selling it to the second highest bidder for $3,250, IIRC.

Re: The end of another Wrangler era
 

You should have bought as an investment, as it will never be worth
less than that.

Re: The end of another Wrangler era
 

If it's never worth more than that, what's the point?
