1967 327 Jeep Gladiator
I might be getting another project come the first of June - a white 1967 Gladiator 4x4. <-My smile. <-wifeThe truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

It has a very "Utility Vehicle" look about it I think. It suites my personality.The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

The old Jeep pickups are great! They keep going forever, and can be made to look killer.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Very nice Jeep! I had a Jeep Cherokee. I hit someone's tow-bar ball with the Jeep. The impact bent the frame in just ever so slightly. If I would have connected with their bumper (no ball) I think I would still be driving it. I didn't have the time to fix it so I bought a Ford Explorer (100K miles $3000). I would rather have the Jeep. I have reconditioned the Explorer and should get another 5 years out of it before it starts nickle and diming me. When the Explorer goes I want a 55 210 Post for my daily driver. I will turn a 4 door 55 Chevy into a 2 door or just buy one done (not too done - need to make it mine). But wait, then there is the shoe box ford I want to chop and customize...Soooo much want with too little time.Last edited by August Mariner; 05-20-2014 at 05:40 PM.

That one is in really good shape! Back when I was in college working in a body shop, we painted 3 of that era, and every one was a rusty mess. They sure are cool when done though.Ryan

Long as the old AMC 327 isn't locked up, it should not be a bad restore. If it is no good, then you could still put pretty much whatever you wanted in there since Kaiser put basically whatever engine they could get to keep their vehicles going down the production line. They were really struggling at that timeYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

It hasn't happened yet. That's the way it went in my 69 Charger after I pulled it out of a field in S.C. One can hope.The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
