Greg spotted this old Burma up for auction in Denver. There’s something about the placement of the headlights that makes me think these vehicles appear hunched over in some way, ready to bear their load.
“1943 Ford Burma Jeep. Unrestored as shown. Stored at least 10 years, either driveline or engine, or both siezed or locked up from non-use, so expect motor and driveline restoration is also needed. Does not run or drive. Rust on stake bed areas, as shown.
“US Navy” marked on the engine cover data plate, Also visible is “149958” which is the title VIN number, and other number appears to be “90148”, but not guaranteed. Other data plates are nearly illegible, sorry.
Sold with title, SALVAGE Colorado Title. Vehicle was used off road on a mountain property for many years, and was not driven the last several years. It was easier to replace a long lost title as a salvage vehicle, otherwise the vehicle would have had to be brought into running/driving condition and submitted for inspections, etc. So for now the vehicle is not intended for registered highway use in Colorado, until the new owner brings it into running/driving condition, meets any other guidelines necessary, and applies for previously salvage title. Please check with your local authorities if you intend to restore and/or make road worthy for public roads, or if any inspections or other procedures would be required.”
