If anyone cares, the BJ8 registry has a record of this car back through four
owners in Ohio and Missouri to at least March, 1969.
Anyone who goes to look at a BJ8 to buy or anything else would be a great
help if they could let me know. I might have some info on the car that
could be a help or at least of interest to the person looking.
Thanks,

I drove over to see this car last night with a friend that might have been
interested. Some of you flagged if on Craigslist. It is a real car and the
price is what is stated. There are a few problems.
The car came from Ohio, they bought it over the internet. The paint is new,
yep, went right over that old paint and rust bubbles. The frame is a bit
of Swiss cheese. The outriggers are gone. The sales guy thought that you
could weld in new outriggers, but I think there is not enough metal left to
weld.
The sales guy finally asked what I thought it was worth. I told him that
the car would have to be stripped and a new frame put on. He then mentioned
that he might ship it over to England as he could get his money back with
the sales differential. So, keep an eye out for a red , rusty, BJ8.
Jerry
