Should I jump on a $400 1980 Cherokee?

[His-N-Hers Woodies]

A buddy just wants what he has in one that?s been sitting in his yard, the scrap cost. It?s pretty complete with glass, motor, dash, etc. thinking maybe I could flip it, or pull some in-demand parts and scrap the rest. Looking for some perspective. Thanks!
Neighbor already planted a bunch of trees to conceal my junk, so I feel like I should take advantage of the privacy!

Is this a real question? Of course you should buy it!

Grab it! Probably more parts there than you may think. Where in TN?

Pics?

Curious what $400 TN Cherokee looks like. I know a Michigan one would look like a pile of dust.

On a CJ site we would say "This is like the crackhead asking his crack-smoking buddies whether he should buy more crack."

Is there really a question here? I am about ready to call for you to turn in your man card for even asking such a silly question. SMH... If this Cherokee is not in your possession in the next week, you should trade in your other 2 Wagos for a Prius and a Smart Car.

Buy it and, as it is likely rotted on the bottom, part it out.

PS: I'm interested in the roof.

[rang-a-stang]

Yes. and i am interested in the grill. And the radio bezel. and some other littl goodies.

In case your flip it or part it out for profit plan doesn't pan out make "sure" you get a title with it. W/o a title you won't be able to boneyard scrap the carcass unless you cut it up into easily manageable pieces.

He rescued it off a scrap truck at the steel mill we work at during cash for clunkers, so I'm pretty sure there's no title. The local yard took a Silverado that there wasn't much left of without a title, so I don't think it'll be a big issue (but you are right, it can be a problem). I'll get some pics of it posted soon.

here is CA w/o title just have to cut it up for them to take it.

[His-N-Hers Woodies]

OK here she is. Agreed to buy it for $300. No title or key. Ignition has been busted so he could steer it. He's going to swap the wheels with the steel ones on his J truck

Front bumper and headlights are already on my 89. He get them to me a while back.

Minimal frame rot, if any. No gas tank (like I said it was on it's way to get melted)
