This is a time capsule jeep. Surplused from Ft. McCoy in 1975 and purchased by the previous owner in early 1976. He kept it in his garage since. He did a light repaint, keeping alot of the original markings by taping around them.
If you are looking for a totally original jeep that truly hasn't been touched, look no further. Vehicles like this are a true rarity these days. After sitting for so many years in storage, I have taken the time and effort to bring it up to today's standards without restoring it. Here is a list of parts that I have installed to bring it up to a top level, original survivor.
Complete wiring harness, sealed beams, tail light bulbs, dash light assemblies, high beam light, ignition switch, master light switch, dimmer switch, Blackout drive light bulb, fuel sending unit, plug wire set, spark plugs, all rubber grommets, throttle cable, choke cable, air cleaner hoses, fan belts, fuel hose, fuel neck grommet, transmission and transfer boots, accelerator pedal boot, vacuum hoses, horn button, wiper blades, transmission and transfer case shift knobs, headlamp door seals, brake lines, brake hoses, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, DOT 5 fluid, exhaust header, extension pipe, hanger, gaskets, muffler, canvas strap kit, seat covers with rebuilt original seat springs on all 3 seats, hood welt and windshield rest welt.
Included but not photographed is a New Life Canvas enclosure kit. In the photos you will see the old side curtains, doors and the hardware. This is included with ALL NEW canvas. Also included is a complete fording kit, antenna and antenna mount.
The engine runs strong, no bad noises. The smoke in the photos is the oil and paint burning off the exhaust. It ran for about 10 minutes and didn't do this any longer. All the gauges work and are original to the jeep, nothing replaced.
The jeep had an original aluminum winter hard top kit installed at one time, so there are some small holes in the body from the mounting hardware. I have the complete hardtop kit if someone is interested in it. It is not included, but I will offer choice of the soft top or hardtop. If you want both, I will sell the hardtop separately.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind jeep. The chance to have a jeep as original as this probably won't happen again.
To restore a project jeep anywhere close to this level will far exceed the asking price. Plus, you won't have the history and patina.
We can arrange shipping anywhere. Clear MN title.

Price $14,700.00 - Reduced again!
