Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

I got pinned down for a minute away from my shop and took the time to make a service page on my website.

It's a service page unlike any other. It's me doing me things. If you have a unique 76-86 project and need a hand, maybe take a look.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy snowmobile season! Hit me up if you're headed West or the the U.P.!

Matt was a tub buyer from me about 6 years ago (driver).  He took his rusty Jeep apart with the best of intentions and  started a restoration.  Before completion, a full life started w a great family and demanding job.  His time was pulled in more important directions and the Jeep project sat id...

Ebay auction went as Ebay often does. Some fellow in Florida bid and retracted about 5 times to find the reserve and of course retracted again. The auction looked like something shady was going on and I don't blame people for not bidding. After the ruined auction was over he texted and wanted to haggle with me. I had him call me. Pretty sure we won't be exchanging Christmas cards. Woke up today glad I'm not him.

Really nice Laredo available here. https://rudys-cjs.com/83-cj7-laredo

Listed my Laredo for sale on Ebay for exposure. I literally had this sold to now 4 people who came to my shop or called and wanted it and I led them in a different direction because of what I heard from them or how the situation went. Here's the stories...

One fellow bought a Patina CJ from me about a decade ago. He was one of the first people to come to my current shop which is my 3rd one since I started my business. I started in a 2 bay pole barn behind my house. Anyhow, he drove his patina CJ7 to a party this Summer and it caught fire when he parked it.

His insurance considered it a total loss and they were good to him (they covered it for almost twice what he bought it from me for without him improving on it). He was going to buy my Laredo but was going to have to borrow money. I hated that. He's an educator and lives to coach. He's a good dude who loved his Jeep. I was taking his Jeep in on trade and had to go see it to give it a value to part it out. It looked awesome in my eyes w original paint and no rot, except for the fire. I offered to heal it so he bought it back from his insurance and I went and picked it up. I had it back to him in about a week running and happy with new character marks. Note his vanity plate. He gets it.

Another fellow flew in to buy my Laredo. He drove it and thought is was beautiful, but wanted a different color. I hade led my local JEEP dealership owner to one of my past Jeeps and he as vehicle collector used it at his house in Fla and was done with it. It was on his showroom floor but he didn't have the audience to sell it so I led the fellow there since he was in town and he bought it (and left me a stellar review (which I appreciate).

While the guy flying in (planning his travel) was coming a long term follower of my site out East just sold his business and was treating himself w a CJ he had always wanted since he sold his years ago. He wanted my Laredo but I couldn't sell it as it was being held for the guy flying in...so he bought a different one of my Jeeps ( the other black Laredo that sold).

Lastly, the fellow last week came to get it but after driving 3 Cjs in my shop he left with my Patina CJ (The desperado) as it spoke to him.

So here it is, listed on EBAY. Please put it on your WATCH list (aka a like) on Ebay if you appreciate it. It puts a heart next to the listing and would help me sell it.

Sold one of my favorite pieces of Art (Jeep Patina collection) to a great guy who sees things like I do. I will miss having it around but unlike normal art, this kind of art needs used and he is using it and enjoying it. This Jeep is original paint and rot free. I liked it so much I owned it twice. Faded like only mother nature and time can. I can make a Jeep shiny but I can't do this.
