UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
It’s not listed as a specific model in the ad, but perhaps it is an M-606A2? The rear passenger side filler is something that wasn’t originally listed on the documentation.
“you are about to view a fully restored 1975 Army Jeep 4WD that is sure to take a trophy in every show entered. It has the optional 6 cylinder and overdrive trans making it a joy to drive highway speeds 70 MPH with ease. It has free wheeling locking hubs for long distance travel. This Jeep is very reliable and runs like a dream. It has the heavy duty dana axles and an awesome parade siren. The 4WD works perfectly. This Army Jeep is the hit of every parade runs cool never overheats on parade duty and gets standing ovations when passing by. It has a clear Title and is ready to go to a new Home. This Jeep is a lot of fun sure to bring smiles to many who see it.”
What transmission does this have?
If it is pretty much a CJ-5 in olive drab, then I’d guess the transmission is a T-14, T-15, or T-98. I didn’t have much luck googling it.
I did not know they put straight six’s into m38A1’s
The inline 6 puzzled me too, but then I remembered it was probably an M-6062A (or a militarized CJ-5) … I can’t tell which. (It’s too late to be an M-38A1)
BUT CAN IT — FIGHT ?
Ok, It is definitely NOT an M606a2 or M606a3. It is definitely NOT an Army jeep. It is definitely NOT Military. It’s just a overdone, dressed up Parade Jeep!
Hi Ted,
Thanks for the comment. You appear certain it was never military, but can you provide some specific points to back the claim? I have not seen enough M-606a2s nor do I have enough documentation on them to conclude one way or there other, hence the reason I posted this.
One curious thing missing on the sides of the jeep are the “JEEP” stamps normally on the side of the cowl. It may well be a CJ-5 (I’m not discounting that); the goal here is to help folks figure out how to tell the difference between the M-606a2 and the CJ-5.
Thanks,

Dave,
July 30,2016 you listed a brochure for sale for the M606A2 and M606A3.
Thanks Paul. Yes, I linked to it in the post, but it wasn’t very obvious:

I have an intermediate 1973 CJ5 and this has some real differences.
The windshield has the wipers on the top, a 75CJ would have had the wipers on the bottom,
The CJ5 gas filler is on the back rear passenger’s side, this has it on the rear side.
It is has the intermediate added length on the hood and the fenders
The front marker lights are missing and I don’t see any holes.
Probably a 232 CID engine
Front blinkers are inset, which is different than the 75CJ5
The mirrors are mounted on the cowl, but on a 75 should be mounted to the window hinge area
I would say that this is not a regular CJ5 that’s been converted by someone wanting a parade jeep.
This one is a head scratcher, I don’t think it is military, but someone spent a lot of time on it. If it was converted by owner, could have had a restored M38A1 for that amount of work. I think owner may have parted out a M38A1 for this project. The M38A1 instrument cluster and data tags are interesting, along with the tags riveted to the top of the grill/core support. I wish we could read the tags.
