FROM PREVIOUS AD in 2016 …..
Tires are good and hold air, just need pumped up from sitting for a couple years, however should probably be replaced if you should choose to daily drive this jeep.
173 ORIGINAL miles on engine and odometer. Engine was bought as brand new crate engine in 1971 by current owner’s uncle. Installed into this fully restored jeep and then stored in garage. Driven periodically but obviously not often.
We will need to replace old fuel and put a battery in it, other than that there are zero problems with this jeep, it will be running and driving perfectly when you come to see it.
This is a very beautiful specimen of a Willys Jeep. Paint is fantastic, body is great, undercarriage is coated and absolutely rust free. The top and doors are like new. Jeep has been in storage for the past two years hence the dust. Professional Mechanic owned, built and maintained. Guaranteed to be ready to drive for the buyer. Would make a great show jeep, daily driver or if you chose to offroad the jeep then it is built to be very capable offroad.
I am sure you can find some flaws in the paint and some dings/imperfections in the body of this jeep but it is still an absolutely beautiful example of a classic sought after jeep with upgraded mechanicals to make it a reliable and capable driver. The price is set to reflect the condition.
Trades may be considered, probably not for other vehicles but may consider useful equipment trades such as an older skid steer. Selling because of too many things and no time to enjoy them
