Today we bring you a 1987 Jeep Wrangler YJ Sport.


This one appears ready to go muddin' and it has a Warn winch, 4-inch lift, and 33-inch tires. There's a selectable locker and over-axle steering kit.

Underhood is a 6.2-liter mill with two-barrel carburetor. It has four-wheel disc brakes and a rebuilt transfer case.

It has a soft top and bikini top.

I am just scratching the surface here, there's more -- I am saving it for the click-through for the sake of brevity.

Should you want to know more about this Texas-based rig, click here. The asking price is $9,750.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    I like jeeps - however, I prefer wranglers with round headlights and coil springs. This one is probably a back-breaker.
