1945 Photo of Pneumatic Jeep **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Curious that the pneumatic jeeps had the tool indents on the passenger side. I believe this photo has been reproduced backward. You can see an example of how it appeared in print in the St. Petersburg Times.

She said it was running when it went into it’s grave… Some parts are off motor, starter, generator… Does/did it run… No Idea… A family member started to get it running… Pulled tranny & transfer case… Found broken gears in tranny… Bought new,,, Included… Then started on transfer case… found reason for locked power train…. transfer case completely rusted solid… and so ended the repairs to the Jeep…. Have some manuals… included…Tub is in great shape…. No Rust… most all parts from original Military configuration seem to be there…. but you need to see and make up your own mind… This baby needs some TLC…. Jeep does roll but must have all wheels off ground to transport…”
