. I've owned this Jeep for 24 years now and it's been in storage for a long time. Sad to say, I only put about 100 miles on it in two years. The engine is very strong and runs great. My weber carb is 20 years old and is tired . I'd love to fuel inject it but not sure which kit I want to go with. I may go with the FAST kit but who knows. It seems like it will adapt to my modified 258 better than the others. My trans is a 999 Torqueflight which is in good condition and is very reliable . My suspension is tired and needs a complete overhaul . I'm not sure what to do with the paint and stripes... As I've mentioned , it's original . I've only seen two other Jeeps with the Jamaican Beige paint and the nutmeg,orange and yellow stripes. I'd like a fresh coat of paint and I've finally located stripes but y'all tell me if the value wouldn't be greater if I just left it alone. As for the hardtop, I've located a factory one. The top in the pic is aftermarket . I will however have to paint the top. Does anyone happen to know the paint code for the factory color nutmeg?

What do you want to do with it? It is sort of classic as it site now and will draw a lot of attention. But you could also use it as a blank canvas and go for it with your own design.
