Several people have written with questions about the value of a Jeep.
Values depend primarily on the condition of the body, and on whether or not the Jeep is original. Values vary regionally. The values listed below are based on what I've seen and may not be representative.
Military models are generally somewhat more valuable than equivalent civilian (CJ) models.
Fully restored Jeeps (all original and in like new condition) are typically priced at around $8,000 to $12,000. However, there are few buyers willing to spend that much--so it can take months or years to sell a fully restored Jeep. Jeeps with rare features, such as an original winch, hydraulic lift, PTO, or column shift will bring higher prices.
Solid Jeeps, with original body, frame, and driveline, bring prices based on condition. Asking prices for solid Jeeps in good drivable condition, with everything working, no serious leaks, and no body rust run from $2,500 to $4,000.
Repairable Jeeps with original body, frame, and driveline, no serious body rust, and most driveline and electrical components functioning, will bring $500-$1,500. These are the most sought-after by buyers and sell quickly.
Rusted out or heavily modified Jeeps typically bring $500 or less, even if in good driveable condition. Replacing the body tub is rarely cost effective. Tubs cost upwards of $1600, unpainted, and installation labor and paint can exceed the cost of the tub.
Column shift models are prized and bring higher prices. They are considered candidates for restoration regardless of condition.
Original accessories such as winches, PTOs, governors, overdrives, and hydraulic lifts are valuable in their own right and can be worth more than the Jeep they are attached to in some cases.
Non-original accessories and modifications generally detract from the value of the Jeep.
