I’ll be looking for a basic Jeep. I wonder if they can be found anymore — standard transmission, crank windows, manual 4WD, etc.
I’m keeping my two CJs even though they are project vehicles.

A fun read, but long.
..manual transmission Jeep Grand Cherokee that Id foolishly purchased sight unseen for $700. We were 1,300 miles from home, and Id clearly made a grave mistake.

Dont overlook a starting/ignition key.
I've got an '87 YJ. Engine has finally quit so I'm re-building one. They are a kick.
If you've never had a Jeep before make sure you don't get the 4 cyl.
standard transmission, crank windows, manual 4WD, etc.
Check, check, that's what I have.
You can buy a “basic” jeep depending on what-all you really want or don’t want.
They are all over the place in mountain towns.
One problem is you will probably pay extra NOT to have some of the features you don’t want.
Another is that you might end up buying a really ‘basic’ model that hasn’t been well-restored, and it will break down on you.
I’m no mechanic but I love sitting in the open in what is basically a 4x4 convertible. I have purchased three jeeps and a Scout over the years and regretted every one.
p.s. Just google ‘vintage jeeps’ for a start.
Crank windows? Youre looking for a Jeep with.... *Doors*!!
