>From the pics it appears to be a stick shift. I know the automatics have unique starters to the 327 in the Jeep, not sure about sticks.
  There was a place listing starters for Jeeps on eBay, not sure about now.
Any reputable shop should be able to rebuild that for you. Look for a small old time electric motor place. 
  If you get it running it looks to me like it has the wrong carb on it. IIRC the 327 should have a the larger throat two barrel on it. That looks to me like a transplant carb from a 287 Rambler. I could be wrong on the carb though.
  Nice find, if you get it running and have trouble titling it, you may be able to get a title in another state and transfer it back in. Depending on your state laws, sometime that is the easiest way to get it done.

Couldn't beat the "Buy It Now" price and the vehicle was as described.  Seller also sat on it for a few weeks until I could retrieve it.  Unfortunately, there was no title.  If its not that difficult to resurrect, I may go through the trouble of getting a title made.

> One question I have is about the starter.  It was present (you can see it n the floor in one pic), but off the motor and seemingly intact.  The Seller explained to me that you can't get replacements anymore and it would have to be rebuilt.  Any truth to this?  If so, can someone recommend a reputable shop, preferably in the Detroit Metro area?  If not, I'll ship it out.
