UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495.
This appears in good condition, though it has civilian parts.
“This is a 1942 Ford Military Jeep with the original 4-cylinder flathead, chassis and drive train. It purrs like a kitten. I bought this Jeep in 1976 and have driven it a few miles each year. I used it for many years at the Reno Air Races and to haul about broadcast production equipment. It has a sturdy roll bar and nice wheels. Tires are…..well, about 35 years old! Hah! Same Big O Tires I put on when I bought it. I did convert it from 6V into a 12V system for easy starting. Yes, all the lights are 12V too. The engine has been well-maintained by a friend who once worked for the original Harrah’s Automobile Collection. That’s the reason the engine purrs like a kitten. Leaks? Nope. One of the few 1942’s that DOES NOT LEAK OIL between the bell-housing and the transmission. It has front hubs and caps for the rear axle if you feel like towing it like a wagon. The windshield folds forward which is a great way to tour through the countryside. It has high range and low range 4-wheel drive and it all works flawlessly. The seats are early-American UGLY. They fit my posterior just fine but thus far, I have not been ticketed by the fashion police for such truly dreadful-looking seat covers. The body is a Willys. Someone put the body on before I purchased it in 1976 so while the body says “Willys”, the title proudly reads 1942 Ford convertible. Yup, that’s the DMV. I keep it up on the trailer because I prefer to haul it to where I’m going. After all, this Jeep is older than I am by four years and I’ve always tried to baby it. The trailer can be purchased separately if you so desire. Not too many of these military jeeps left around the countryside – especially one that is so mechanically sound. You can drive him down the freeway at 55-60 all day long. Really turns some heads.”
