This is my 77 Cherokee 4 door. I saw it parked on the road to work one morning and have had FSJ fever ever since. I bought it for $1,200 with 144K on the clock, running strong, but needing a transmission rebuild. The body is straight except for one hole starting in the drivers floor and a little PO bondo work on the right rear quarter panel. It must have been garaged because there is very little rust on it. The paint has seen better days and will likely get another coat in the near future.
