“What you are looking at is an original CJ2A willys Jeep. The first of the civilian Jeeps made. The old jeep is complete for the most part. I have a windshield for it. The engine compartment is also very complete with the original 134L flathead 4 cylinder and the T90 3 speed transmission. The Jeep doesn’t currently run.”

It’s not clear to me what still needs to be done besides paint.
