I think the metal topped was my 1970 (It lasted about 2 years in my lifetime), I had a 1967 with that Buick V-6 and it never got wet, what a sweet machine (Lifetime about 18 months - I bought a chevy blazer to replace her). I had a 1973 but it was terminal and I parted it out after forgetting to look under the bonnet before I threw down the cash. The CJ-2A I bought in May of 1990 for $2,500.oo and in October on a hunch from some other automobile friends who suggested I take it to one of the largest Antique car show/sell events in Hershey PA, I went and sold the beast on the spot for $5,000.oo and walked home. ( Top speed in the 2A was only 53 mph or so) - Brucifier will tell you the gear ratio is so awesome for rock climbing but not much more! I had a 1969 that I bought and sold to a friend who then could not keep her because he needed money as his girlfriend was pregnant and Jeeps were frowned at by her family, so I bought it back fixed it up for me ( Too many girlie things irked me) And I owned the goddess till I went with a sports car. This was the last one I owned and still know where she is parked after the guy I sold it too blew the engine the week after it became his.
