“Here is a classy Jeep from the past. This Jeep is in good condition for its age. Pretty much a “barn find”, and was on a family farm from 1960-2014. Original 6v system, new battery, plugs wires, and rebuilt starter. Good compression on the cylinders, Turns, over fine, one problem is the distributor has rusted to the block and timing is off. Once the distributor is free the timing can be set correctly. The rebuilds and new items I will mention were done a year prior to my acquisition in 2015 by the previous owner. Some of the items that he did are as follows: New Battery tray; new spare tire, rim and bracket to the frame pads; and new shift lever boots. Brakes have been rebuilt with master cylinder and new brake lines(they definitely need to be bled); new steel gas tank; new side mirror; new front floor plan, new front seat frames and vinyl seat cushions; new steering gear and shaft; new non-directional military tires and tubes; rebuilt generator; re-cored radiator; replacement windshield glass and frame; exhaust system approximately five years old;
New handbrake cable; new choke and throttle cable; new inner windshield rubber & windshields to cowl rubber.
New and original extra parts include: 6v distributor; L&S PTO C-10002; 640603 Drum pulley unit; 6v Harrison heater H-441-48; Pierce governor with mounting brackets; original grill screen; original wheel drum puller from Willys repair shop; original single-hand windshield wiper (needs rubber) All gauges and lights work. Has original oil bath breather, tool box has no rust.”
