    I've seen worse Jeeps sell for more.
    $500 seems like an OK price
    Offer the guy $350, then come up 50 at a time if you have to :D

    Looks pretty good. Not much cosmetic work needed.

    $500 seems cheap, but if you can't drive it, there's more risk. Does it run?

    Huh. PTO winch is a plus.

    BTW that's not an intermediate - V6, short hood and fenders. Probably get more feedback in the ECJ5 Dauntless forum

    I say it's a good start. $500 is prolly a fair price too.

    If it runs, thats a good deal. Worst case you could sell the parts and recoup your initial investment three times over. Good advice about offering $350 and going up from there.

    The price is about right, but you sure you're building this one for the wifey??? They tend to like all the creature comforts of say, a Grand Cherokee. ;)

    That's a Ramsey Rhino winch, I believe. Dunno what the rest of the rig is worth to you, but it looks like a good start on a project. I'm partial to PTO winches, so I vote for make an offer!
