Prices are different everywhere. Around here between 2 to 4 thousand.

I think it's worth about $5K, maximum. Something to think about is taking a stock jeep and making all the mods to it yourself and how much it'd cost. I came up with about $3K, without the cost of the jeep, but it sounds like the jeep needs a little help. I think it might fetch as high as $5K up here.

rice, will it pass GA emmissions? thats the first thing to think about, as far as cost for our area maybe 4-5000, but I cant say for sure. I've seen some near-ground up rebuilds go for 6500. Another thing to consider is that if it has a locker, its probly already been thrashed.

$6500.00 sounds steep to me for a 78 in the condition you describe. $4000.00 to $5000.00 seems to be more realistic. My son bought a 83 CJ7 258 that had 46,000.00 original miles, very clean paint job, new brakes,new exhaust..a good solid frame for roughly $4300.00. I just bought a 78 258 rebuilt
with around 5,000 miles, with a body thats shot to blazes and frame thats in bad shape for $300.00
