It took a chance on this January 1957 issue of True Adventures and bought it on eBay hoping to find an article that included jeeps. But, I struck out. There was nothing but scantily clad women (not that I was complaining), fantastical stories, and silly advertisements.

$500.00 OBO
It has been sitting under a tarp for 12 – 15 years. The motor is seized. Floor boards are gone and has lots of rust with scale rust on the frame. Seat frames are rusty with no material left on seats. One tire is flat and one wheel is locked up. This jeep has sat a long time. This will be sold in “AS IS” condition as I have described to the best of my knowledge. I would suggest this is a “Parts Only” vehicle. It’s NOT running, not drivable and must be trailered. It also has a good clean title. ”
