No pice listed? Very similar vintage as mine...has dauntless v6, but some other stuff is a bit 'odd'....or lets say its not very original. I don't believe any 1966 bodies would have not had a tailgate - although I am not 100% sure on that....but it suggests a body swap or replacement has occurred. Steering column is swapped - probably as part of a saginaw box swap (which is good if done right), looks to be power steering as I think i see the pump res cap low on front driver side engine (that mount also requires aftermarket headers) and OEM manifolds are replaced)....Transmission should be a T86 with single stick D18....but I see a twin stick D18, and what I think is a t90 shifter? Maybe someone did a 4speed swap and twin stick conversion....has a rear tank which is not original, but didn't keep the original underseat tank. Anyway, depending on what some of the non-original aspects are - they could be nice upgrades (like the rear tank), but they also mean you have to take a close look at the workmanship etc... Even if not very original, Some good stuff there for building a nice wheeling jeep....the upright warn/bellvue winch is nice (if it works)....high mount wipers are correct for the year....nice warn locking hubs, beefy shackles....

Correct - no price listed.

The back / no tailgate makes me think - replacement body - but I don't know that vintage.
