UPDATE: Lee just bought this Jeep. Congrats!
This restoration looks beautiful, though if this is really a ’45, then I think it should have the column shifter. It’s beautiful and I rather like the burnt (?) orange. The one element I don’t like is the ‘all wheel drive’ plaque on both sides of the hood. It’s also missing the rear soft-top bars holder on the driver side.
“The vehicle IS titled as a 1943 though the serial number on the vehicle matches the code for a 1945. The transmission is a 4 speed.”
No longer avail. I bought it today. Serial # 10351
It has the column shift brackets ect but is currently set up as a floor shift.
Congrats Lee .. that’s an early number!
