UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,995.

This stainless roadster was spotted for sale by Roger Martin. It’s an interesting build to look at, but I have been told that caution should be taken when dealing with the seller (Gateway Classic Cars).

    Mike: It’s purpose is, “fun, fun, fun ’til my Daddy takes my DJ away …” (an abomination of the Beach Boys classic).

    Lew: Just the fictionalized title date I imagine.

    That’s not jeep at all. That is a stainless jeepney body built with whatever running gear on hand at time of build. Usually Japanese drivelines and in the longer ones designed as busses usually diesel. These are all over the place to this very day in the Philippines. This one is in great shape compared to the ones you see on the road there. I am assuming the builder bought the body new and had it shipped to the U.S.

    Tim,

    I’m not longer sure what makes a jeep and what doesn’t anymore. I would have said 4WD, but I currently own a DJ, which lacks 4WD and low range. Yet, it’s all jeep. Then there are racing jeeps in our neck of the woods that look like jeeps, but are fiberglass bodies on custom chassis without a shred of actual jeep parts. Are those jeeps still? I just see them all as part of a spectrum. As long as folks are enjoying them, well that’s the important thing to me.

    At one point in the early 1970s there was a push to build and important complete stainless jeeps, but the guy who was going to be charged with that decided not to go to the Phillipines. As far as I know, outside a handful of Jeepneys, no complete stainless jeeps ever made it.

    Happy New Year!
