Except for that bump in the hood, this looks like it was a good solid build.  Non runner now.

It doesn’t run.  I suspect it’s the type of project where a lot needs to be replaced.

“1948 Willys Jeep with 289 ford motor. It currently doesn’t run, family owned since 1950, would make a great rebuild project. Make reasonable offer. 1-231-663-6029.”
