Curious... Anyone else have an AMC Jeep? Bought one new in '75 and sold years later. Picked up one ~5 years ago - same year, color etc.
Have heard the '71 to '75 as "lost years" as many of the parts are no longer available. From '76 on, no problem. Anyone else have an orphan Jeep?

I have a 75 Cj5 with a 72 Wagoneer 360 in it. Fun little thing to play around in.

I have an 85, so it's not in the orphan class but it is an AMC.

I have a '74 rear axle in my '2A . . . It came out of at totally rusted-out, trashed CJ-5, so hopefully I have not contributed to making that age group into orphans. I used to have the front axle from same Jeep in Wilson, but recently swapped that out for a '81 with disc brakes (AMC)
Come to think of it . . the Dana300 is also AMC . . so a large percentage of the drivetrain in Wilson is AMC
My sons both have mid-80's CJ-7s (AMC) |

Although I no longer own this, my '75 Renegade with the 304 is what started my love for Jeeps. Bought it back in '77 before the big blizzard. WOW- such memories! Edited by cjbilly - 30 Oct. 2018 at 5:53pm |

Even though I feel like my jeep life started in 2008, I did own this '81 CJ7 for about 6 months:
This picture was taken in '83. I dressed better back then The guy behind me in the back seat is my cousin Chris who came with me on the Rubicon this year. ... Notice the white lettered tires. That was the thing back then. Edited by jpet - 30 Oct. 2018 at 5:57pm |

I used to have a '75 CJ5 (but with a '76 windshield frame and top). It was my second project vehicle but my first 'wheeling project. I replaced it with my early Bronco when my kids outgrew the back seat. |
