It’s an ex-Navy jeep with a data plate.
“This Jeep has been the subject of a complete restoration to “good driver” standards. This means that the chassis has been cleaned, painted, all working parts replaced or repaired as needed. The brakes are new, brake lines and master cylinder are new, the emergency brake serviced and made to work well. The engine has been compression checked, all parts checked to make sure they work and do not leak, then painted. The transmission works and shifts correctly, drained and refilled, the transfer case works correctly. Both differentials have been repaired and re-filled with gear oil, they work well. Lockout hubs are installed on the front hubs. 12 volt electrics are installed, and the wiring harness is new. Tires are essentially new, (less than 150 miles). Windshield glass is new. The body is all NEW, not repaired, painted to look like a Vietnam-era Navy Jeep. IT IS LOADS OF FUN TO DRIVE, GETS GREAT APPLAUSE IN PARADES! ”
