100 bucks....she was in a field for 20 years and she shows it. It has taken me about a year to get her running. Had to totally go through the fuel system and have rebuilt the motor. Added a Weber carb, she runs great now! Just need to work on the body inside and out. I love her!

Did you rescue that from a scrap yard? I could swear I've seen that brat in a pic somewhere in a scrap yard.

NO, at least I hope not, lol. It was a private seller in Colbran, CO. She runs and needs some work so I wouldn't think she was scrapyard bound. Title was registered to his Dad.

AHHHHHH i wish it didnt cost so much to ship or id have those sweet a$$ wheels on my brat :-\

79 brat paid 600 bucks and drove it like 7 hours over 3 passes with a broken clutch cable haha came with roll bar two sets of jumper seats seat belts topper and gen 2 dash all in great condition just needs paint and some shoes :clap:

just had this fall into my lap two weeks ago.

79 4wd 1600 wagon 70,000 miles.

Seems pretty solid except a little rust at the bottom of the doors. Engine bay and undercarriage are rhino lined? no rust. Need to get a manual and some parts.
