1969 M-274 4WD $3,500 Bonsall, CA

1969 Willys, Bowen Mc Laughlin York, Baifield Industries, Brunswick m274 mule weapons carrier

Pretty neat rig. Not a lot of info here to tell the exact back story.

Information from seller:

I purchased this critter to use on my ranch. But soon realized that I have too many projects. It’s a 4X4, 2 wheel steering version. Haven’t fired it yet but the engine is free. I’ve been told this might be the Marine version and likely came from Camp Pendleton. However I haven’t located a data plate so I can’t confirm it.
