I don't mind talking about Jeeps, at all.
Since there are some Jeep fans, here are some more pics of the wife's CJ-7. It's a fairly loaded Jeep and a lifelong California desert Jeep--has the extended carpet package (in garnet), 5-speed, tilt, cruise, the chrome wheels, and dealer-added air that is polar cold. Original owner had it until 2019, then it got passed around among a few collectors and sold through Barrett Jackson a couple years ago. It is as close to a zero-rust original CJ-7 as there is--I was in the doors recently cleaning up the window regulators, and it looks like it was manufactured last week. Same for under the carpeting. The reason I ended up with this is because her father had one in the exact same color and trim when she was a kid. Plowing snow commercially with Jeeps was apparently a thing in Wisconsin back then, and he had a fleet of CJ's for some specific snow removal use--the Renegade was her father's personal plow Jeep.
I was hoping/expecting it would be just another wife request fulfilled at great expense, and she'd be over it, but she wants to keep it. I tried to sell it twice so I can have more room (I have 6 cars and can have only 2-3 at home), and was thwarted both times.
Besides being into 63 Corvettes, I am into air cooled 356s and 911s, and old trucks. The K10 is more my style.
