No, just an elki..it's an 84..previous owner preferred the single headlight, so he ordered and replaced the header.
...it's been meticulously maintained. He got it with 34k, had it for 24 years.

Thanks! My Jeep got totaled by an uninsured driver, so I'm pretty pleased this fell into my lap.

I backed one of those into a tree going about 20mph when I was 16. Tailgate was down, didn't turn out well for the tailgate.

It really is...Eighty year old owner, all receipts* in glove box. He has a Model A and Model T, so he's definitely into cars.

*including service codes from dealer, and delivery statement with 27 miles on odometer.
