1966 Jeep J-200 Gladiator 4x4 Custom Cab Pickup, 230 Tornado OHC 6, 3-speed rare

Up for sale is a fairly rare 1966 Jeep J-200 "Gladiator" 4x4 truck with the optional Custom Cab trim package. This features the good-looking chrome front grill. aluminum front end trim. chrome front bumper. fancy stainless steel trim on the rear of the cab. Custom Cab emblems. and more. the venerable 230 cubic inch Tornado inline overhead cam six-cylinder engine. she runs very well. I replaced the water pump (was squeaky and was ready for replacement). rebuilt the hydraulic clutch including going through the master cylinder. and replacing the slave cylinder). changed fluids. and properly set up the timing and carburetor. A nice-running truck with a lot of life left in her; showing 30. 75 on the odometer. but likely rolled over once. who can say? No exhaust smoke or bad engine noises at all. She's got the three-speed manual "three on the tree" transmission. and optional power steering. which is a big plus. 4x4 transfer case gets her in and out of all wheel drive properly. and she comes with some spare parts including a set of Warn locking front hubs. Good brakes combined with all the above make her a sound driving truck. No outer-body rust to speak of other than minor surface spots here and there where the paint has chipped or otherwise failed. As you can see. she's now finished in a NW Camouflage theme. which actually suits the truck well IMO. She was formerly a county fire station support rig. and was bright red. I believe the original color was black. and the interior is original black and gold. The floors have been redone at some point and are solid. The interior is missing the carpet. headliner. and radio. The cooling system is sound. and the truck stays cool. The electrical appears to be unmolested. and the heater and blower are still working. along with the gauges. etc. The tailgate was bent by a large piece of firewood. and while still functional. it's definitely the weak link on the body. Inside the bed. on either side near the cab are bases for traditional 5-gallon Jerry fuel cans to ride. This is a classic hunting. fishing. and off-road trail rig that runs and drives good enough to get you to work and back. too. Original wheels. 3 original hubcaps and a close Jeep fourth. decent tires for ready driving. Good battery. Not a whole lot more to talk about on this one; a basic classic Gladiator that speaks for itself. These are very cool trucks and you just don't see them every day. Clear title in hand. matches VIN exactly for inspection. export. etc. Please be prepared to pay within 3 days of auction's end via major bank cashier's check (must wait for check to clear issuing bank before releasing vehicle and/or title). deposit into my Bank of America account. or bank-to-bank wire transfer. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer; I will make myself available to your carrier on short notice. Truck is located in Vancouver. WA 98686. While every effort is being made to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible. it is in fact a 49-year-old classic. and therefore being sold as-is. without warranty or guarantee expressed. written. or implied.
