UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6995.

While it doesn’t appear to be in perfect condition, it does appear to be in very good, completely stock condition.  This appears to be an excellent restoration candidate.

This jeep has a tailgate and a later model grille,but no gas tank inlet.  Maybe it’s a repro tub?

This appears to have a later model windshield.  It’s hard to tell much else from the pictures.

I think the price is a bit high on this jeep, given it isn’t running and has no title, but if the price drops, this could be a reasonable project.  It sounds like the project has a lot of new parts that just need to be put together, though I suspect, as usual, it will be a bit more complicated than that.
