UPDATE: Was $4200. **SOLD**
(06/28/2013) This looks pretty straight. It’s not entirely stock.
“Current registration and insurance, clear title in hand.
Body- Dented, rusty, some minor repairs done by prior owner. It is very useable as is, actually better than most project jeeps I looked at before buying this one, but needs work to be perfect. Some of the hat channels underneath are rusted and need repaired. This is actually very solid, just want you to know what to expect.
Frame- Solid, no major issues or rust that I have found.
Engine- GPW (ford) 4cyl engine. (this is the military version of the stock motor= not the factory original engine). The GPW is a nice addition depending on your plans, as it it worth more than the stock motor as many people restoring military jeeps would like to have the original style motor. Engine runs good overall, but the exhaust needs to be removed and the heat exchanger flap freed up. This is the flap that re-circulated exhaust air around the intake when the engine is cold to make it run better. It is common for these to seize up and cause the exhaust air to always heat the intake. This causes the gas to get hot in the carb and flood the engine. I had this freed up last year, but it sat over winter and is stuck again. Radiator was rebuilt last year, like new.
Looks to be stock running gear overall. I do think the transmission (manual 3 speed stick shift) is a converted (this is not an uncommon conversion) column shift from an earlier model (could also be a more valuable component like the engine). Differentials leak from the main seals, seals are included, I just never had time to install them. Brakes work fine, new master cylinder last year.
Tires are in good condition, front right has a very slow leak (probably needs a new tube).
Steering box has play and needs to be rebuilt.
Lights need to be worked on, headlights are fine, but taillights are intermittent. No turn signals.
Seats are nice, just not the factory seats.
Extras: Full Koenig hardtop with doors. This is a steel hard top that is in great condition. I did the bodywork on the side panels and primed them. I never mounted it to the jeep (just test fit it, but did not drill all the holes). Windows and door hardware needs cleaned and or replaced. This is a hard to find top in overall great condition.
Extra full front window assembly, grill, spare rim, correct front seat frames, spare tire carrier mount.
I would like to sell everything as a package for $4200
