It is the 4WD version. I forgot my camera but if anyone wants pics I will get them tomorrow. My mechanic buddy seems to feel that there is something wrong in the tranny and clutch issues. I talked to Landen he seems to be O.K> with maybe 200 for it I told him it was worth 100 like it sits.. There is the rest of the story. I am told the engine runs..
Did you try bump starting it? Of course, you'd need a bit of runway, since it doesn't shift out of gear.

My point is, if the tranny and clutch are toast, what about the engine?

I agree with $200 or less. But then again, someone with a rusty one could do a nice swap with that body, if it's solid metal.
