Scored an '88 grand wag

OK, just got to say it. I'm stoked. I ought another Wag. A nice '88.
Stock 360 135,500+/- miles. doesn't burn any oil, just leaks a bit, smooth runner.
NP229 t-case, shifts into 4wd and low fine, output leaks a bit.
ESPO front 2" springs with JKS boomerang shackles, ESPO 2" rear springs with extra leaf for 2-3" lift. Brand new Rancho RS-5000 shocks.
Stock Dana 44's with 3.31-1 gears and trac-loc in rear.
Body has no rust, wood is good, front right fender and bumper dented in a bit, missing the black rubber strip on right side front bumper, missing bumper rubber on left rear, dent under right rear quarter panel window from mesquite tree. Color is light pale yellow in great shape, with the tan interior. Carpet is in good shape, the rear seat is in almost new shape and the fronts have the Wag leather wear, AC needs a charge, everything works, all electrics work, interior real good, carpets good, clean, dash real good, runs cold, 4 core rad.
Brand new catalytic converter, flowmaster muffler and tailpipe.
Carb rebuilt less than 500 miles ago. Water pump shaft wiggles - needs replaced.
Digi cam broke so no pics yet.
Gonna take it to Ouray this year instead of the usual white Wag.

That makes 4 wags in the yard. Three run and one is going to the crusher. Starting to look like Flints place.

Wife likes it. I think mainly because it only cost ........$600 .

And the new owner is somewhat dilusional.
