Looks like keyed coil is still mounted on dash but also looks like there using a different key switch which is hanging under dash so who knows. Nice Monarch Governor and original tail light possibly. Body and frame look really nice for this end of the woods for sure and looks like they have some sort of splined output shaft coupled up to the rear pto shaft. Nice little Jeep!
Governor has a shift on belt drive ? Would be nice so they wouldn’t run all the time.
“In excellent condition”? Ahhh no, it’s not. But I sure do like.
Did anybody notice those small drilled holes in the windshield frame near the middle where Willys is stamped, a random pattern, not that it matters, just curious as to the reason why.
Holes on w/s could be for front license plate , NY state changed the size of their plate over the years so more holes to fit new plate , just a guess and I think in ’46 only one plate was issued for the rear.
