Guys,
I am seeking your help in regards to what these vehicles are worth BOTH in their current shape and when cleaned up. These are located in Indiana. A friend of mine who has owned them for a long time wants to sell them to me as he knows I will take good care of them. He however has close to no mechanical knowledge so a lot of deferred maintenance here. What has been done is by people he has hired to help. Unfortunately, both were restored many years ago before he bought them and they have sat outside since then. Used a few times a years for shows, etc but mostly sitting. The jeep you guys gave me great advice last year or so stating that it had a lot of civilian parts and of course that greatly drops the value. From that thread I don’t think I would be comfortable showing it as it is not “correct”
I want to get a fair deal for me and him knowing that they need work and knowing that I don’t want to be upside down from the get go.
The jeep probably runs but has weak brake pedal. It would come with the trailer but I remember you guys saying it was a knock off as well.
The ambulance cranks but no fire. No brake pedal. Probably all simply stuff from sitting but want to be on the safe side.
So again, please give me a current value and a cleaned up and running/driving price. Pictures are below with each under its own category.
Thanks

After reading your comment I was able to get it working and got them posted here. It would only take 20 pics per post so I had to make 4 but I got it done. For the jeep most people say it is a mess of civilian and military. So if that is the case I should price it like a CJ5 of that year? I assume 2-3K would be the max on it? Then of course the ambulance I have not asked on before and I know little about. It looks like it would clean up well.
