This is another one of those vehicles with ridiculously low miles on it. In this case, just 8300 miles.
The J10's origins go back to 1962 and the Jeep Gladiator. From the cab forward, it was pure Jeep Wagoneer.
The Honcho was nothing more than a trim package. It was offered from 1976-1983. The big decals were standard on the Honcho and a Levis package interior and rollbar were options. This Honcho is what a new Honcho looked like back in 1979. It appears to be flawless. It comes with its original window sticker.
If you missed out on buying a new J10 in 1979, this is as close as you'll get to a second chance. The seller calls the "one of the best J-10 trucks in existence". I don't think he'd get an argument there. That's part of my problem with this Jeep. What would you do with it? Rust was a problem with old Jeeps and not only are there very few (if any) around in this condition, there are few around in any condition. If you drive it every day, you'll put miles on it. It will get the usual stone chips, parking lot dings, etc. That will take away most of the uniqueness of this truck. On the other hand, if you don't drive it, you have a tough, reliable old truck living the life of a trailer-queen. That kind of seems like a waste. Maybe you could buy it and drive it around town on weekends and to shows. I don't know what I'd do with this if I bought it.
