I bought this 1964 Jeep Wagoneer for $2. Total. How much will it cost to get this FSJ running and driving?

I love that you actually plan on fixing up and using this vehicle. So many channels find a junker, make a "will it run?" video, then abandon it, because they never planned on doing anything with it. For the audience I think "will it run" is far less interesting than "can I turn this rusty bucket into something road worthy and useful".

That grille mod can be done on J10, J20 and wagoneers until the redesign in the 80's. If round headlights are a must have, it is fairly straight forward. I tried to do it to a '97 grand cherokee. It worked, but it looked awkward. IMHO, I prefer the earlier grille from 78 backward. My 79 has one that isn't as pretty.

I try to buy the best quality parts I can, and I take as long as it takes to do the job well. If a project is beyond my means to do well, I let someone else have it that can invest what it takes to do the job well. That way, my projects are always work great and are something I can be proud of. Respect your projects.

My 4 door 64 galaxie had a 1974 Montgomery wards riverside 7.75-14 bias ply for a spare. The damn thing aired right up and didn't appear rotten at all, it was in way better shape than the Michelin X radials it had that appeared to be from 96, those were rotten. Probably a pretty good chance the same parent tire company made both the riverside and Kmart tires. It's been about 12 years since the local Kmart I went to regularly closed down, but I can sure still smell the automotive department in the back.

Rebuilt my buddies 4.2l with an Edelbrock head and not telling you cam, though hydraulic. He was pulled over on the highway doing 125, and the first thing the officer yelled at him was,'I have one of these old Jeeps. How did you get it to go 125!?!'. Then he explained his emergency and the cop took him much faster to his kid and then the hospital and then back to his Jeep later. No ticket, and I've now helped that cop build his 4.2l. I just put the Edelbrock head on the wife's 4 0l with stock cam. It should still be impressive and alot less exhaust smelly. Go, Jeeps!

Had one of those in the late 70's when I was a teenager. I learned the hard way those straight sixes don't enjoy being over revved. Blew that poor engine sky high. Shortly thereafter I was off to Australia for a couple of years, and my dad soon made sure the old Jeep became someone else's problem. But it was fun while I had it! Thanks for the memories.

This is one of my favorite youtube channels of all time. As a fellow old jeep enthusiast, it blows my mind how you can take stuff that most people would haul straight to the scrapyard and give it a new lease on life without spending hardly any money. But it's as i've always said, if you give a shade tree mechanic a big enough junk pile, they'll make something happen 😂

That Jeep looks like an Ex US Airforce vehicle. Sort if like the SJ Cherokee they were driving in the beginning of the movie War Games to their Norad Silo, just this is an earlier year, it nakes sense being a high desert truck it aeems very savable. No need to restore it perfect or anything crazy, just clean it up, give it brakes, tires, maybe work on some of the strange things happening with the swap parts, interferences and irregularities with the suspension and oil pan. It has a definite survivalist/crusty rancher feel. I'm astonished you managed to magic so many things into functioning again, there is absolutely no way many vehicles from the 2000s on, could ever have a prayer of that happening. I would imagine that with a fuel tank, brakes and cleaned up it would fetch an easy $3000-4000.

You remind me a lot of my pops. He can take just about anything and make it run. (Love the channel, and looking forward to seeing more about the Jeep. My best car deal ever was giving 75 dollars for a 74 International Travelall with a 345 motor, Cherry bomb exhaust, a driver seat so broken down that we stuffed a pillow in it and the back glass was busted out so it had a sheet of plexi. It was a tank! Ended up busting a push rod in it on a longer drive. Drove it home, changed the rod and sold it to a guy for a farm truck for 150 bucks. Him and his buddies got drunk one night and painted it like Eddie Van Halen's guitar.

Total nostalgia time. About 50 years ago I bought a basket case 65 jeep ( J-200 ??? ) pickup. The original OHC motor was gone, and a 68' AMC 232 was hanging from a chain in the engine bay. The owner had fabricated some adapter/spacers for the motor mounts, but had quit on the project at that point. It seems to me that something had to be done to the bell housing to adapt to the T-90, and the top radiator hose had to be moved to the other side of the top tank. The column shift linkage was a sloppy nightmare, and a top shift T-90 out of a 61' Jeep wagon soon replaced the original. As for the clearance issue with the fuel pump, I made a flat cover for the block, and ran an electric pump mounted on the inner fender. Those OHC engines were actually an OK motor, but they ALL burned a LOT of oil, just because of leaky valve seals. If you put new valve seals in them every 20,000 miles, they lasted a for long time.
