Curious to know what this Jeep Model really is

Looks like a CJ-7 to me, except for the way the mirrors are attached to the hard door. Too bad we can't see the back of it.

CJ-7 Allright with a later hardtop on it. Wrong flares too. Unusual Mirrors as well. Not a factory job, I don't think.

Cj-7 with Wrangler hardtop and doors. VIN number would give the year, no other way to tell for sure. From 1976-86, I don't think anything noticeable changed.

It is most certainly a CJ7, probably a 1980 instead of 1970.

It's a CJ7 for sure...76-86 with mods. Is that price pesos?

Hey Bill what's the name of this tune? and artist? I haven't heard that song in a donkeys life..

Snow..."kazaa..what's dat?"

"well I did it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime, you'll know it's me when I come through your town. I'm gonna ride around in style, gonna drive everybody wild..."

(that's all I remember)

It's the late, great Johnny Cash. Gone, but obviously still relevant.

It's a Johnny Cash song called "One Piece At A Time"

One Piece At A Time Johnny Cash

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49 An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry 'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan That should be the envy of most any man I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

CHORUS I'd get it one piece at a time And it wouldn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild 'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

So the very next day when I punched in With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends I left that day with a lunch box full of gears Now, I never considered myself a thief GM wouldn't miss just one little piece Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk Then I got me a transmission and all of the chrome The little things I could get in my big lunchbox Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right 'Til we tried to put it all together one night And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a '53 And the motor turned out to be a '73 And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit We had that engine runnin' just like a song Now the headlight' was another sight We had two on the left and one on the right But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too But we put it together and when we got thru Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin About that time my wife walked out And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags And I headed her right on down main drag I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around But up there at the court house they didn't laugh 'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

CHORUS I got it one piece at a time And it didn't cost me a dime You'll know it's me when I come through your town I'm gonna ride around in style I'm gonna drive everybody wild 'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

(Spoken) Ugh! Yow, RED RYDER This is the COTTON MOUTH In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER You might say I went right up to the factory And picked it up, it's cheaper that way Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56 '57, '58' 59' automobile It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67 '68, '69, '70 automobile.

Well it's a 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 automobile....

Thanks for all the replies. It is actually being sold in Colombia, and the asking price is in Pesos (around US$3,700).

Had the chance of seeing it last night in person. Unfortunately it's too run down for the price. In fact it IS a 1979 CJ7 (registration was wrong.... I love my country), but needs serious suspension and engine work.

Thanks again,

Felipe A.

That is a CJ5 body, not a 7 and the wreckers ID on the firewall implies a 76.

Sheesh, I though another senior moment had invaded my brain. I am happy to find out that the senior moment was in your brain ...

I think it was more of a beer moment....

I got the first money in my pocket since June yesterday. Been laid up from a car accident I was a passenger in and the insurance finally started to toss me income replacement money.

Going to get the rear pinion bearing fixed first of the week and then am going to go get lost in the woods for a week or so...
