I'll put together a listing with all the details by tomorrow but wanted to get some photos posted. Purchasing a 45 from another mud member in the next couple of weeks and the wife said this one has to go!

Mechanically great and service is up to date. I also have a link to 80+ pictures of the restoration from Nupen. Top is in storage and in great shape.

Would like to get $30k. Also interested in a possible trade of very clean 80 or 100.

Nice 40. Advanced math is not my strong suit, but if you trade it for an 80 or a 100, wouldn't that net you zero? Have you run this trade plan past the wife yet?

It's all about what she can drive and what she can't when it comes to the vehicles we get!

Based on your pictures, this is a ‘74 model.

Never seen a ‘73 with rectangle tail lights.

Correct. This is probably why I should have posted a listing before pictures - mud community is too educated. I have it listed as a 1973 as that is what is consistent with the title in hand. However, all the features point to a 74 (2F, 4speed, taillights, roll bar, etc. etc.) I have owned since late 2022, and the prior owner did not have answers for me on the history of the discrepancies. It wasn't a problem for me when I purchased it, as I find all these to be upgrades. I understand it may turn a buyer off - so be it.
