My ‘76 Z Code Cherokee

Post by maj75 »

Just picked up this Z Code ‘76. It has the original 401, Th400/QT drivetrain. It is fairly complete and the body is decent with the exception of some crappy fiberglass rear flares that look like Mr MaGoo installed them. Has been sitting for a while and unfortunately had a missing gas cap. Motor would run if you put gas in the carb. I ordered the BJs plastic tank as I doubt the original one is worth fooling with after sitting open for years. I think the interior will clean up OK. Will need seats and door panels redone but the ones I have will be good cores.

In search of metal flares in case someone has a lead!

Nice! Looks like a really solid foundation.

I like the patina. Any real rust anywhere?

That patina is awesome!

Ig I don't understand the objection to the fiberglass flares, except for the dent in the front one would bother me.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.
