(07/07/2014) Nice looking CJ-6. Are those plates on the sides original?
“This is an original Kaiser Jeep with the original 225 V6 engine. The engine is strong and runs great. It has a new Rochester carburetor with original oil bath filter. The transfer case, shifters, and lockers are all fully functional. The gearbox is quiet and shifts excellently. Just had the seats professionally re-upholstered to the original specs. It also has the original front seat belts. Lap belts of course. This Jeep is solid all around and with no rust issues. The body on the Jeep is also all original with no welding or modified hack jobs. The suspension has never been modified. It has a new speedometer. The paint is not original and faded as it is a classic Jeep. The top is in rough shape but it comes with all of the bows and door frames. This is an old Jeep, but extremely well preserved in great running condition. You rarely find them like this anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
Given the price, maybe the seller doesn’t really want to sell it?

This 1942 GPW was listed for $500 in May of 2012 in Azusa, California. It was quickly purchased and sent to England where Chris got a hold of it and transformed it back into an original looking GPW. An antiques dealer in old garden classics, he seems to know a few things about old jeeps, too. He’s forwarded some photos so we can see the before and after pics.
Chris was wondering if anyone was familiar with the 51st Defense Battalion? I found this link and this link, but if anyone has additional information, he’d like to know more.
Here is the original ad:
