This is an 84 year old production Jeep that was shipped back to France to participate in the 10th Liberty Highway Tour, "Normandy Pilgrimage", for the 50th Anniversary D-Day Celebration, May 31st - June 9th, 1994.

Own a piece of relevant history. Although this Jeep might not win any "Best of Show" military vehicle competitions, it would hold its own historically in any parade, museum display or military vehicle reunion. Relevant Slat Grill design features of this jeep include:
- pancake air cleaner
- solid wheels
- Willys script tub
- no glovebox
- 2 piece hinged toolbox lids
- small mouth filler hole fuel tank
- "Gas" versus "Fuel" Gauge
- round muffler
- 17" diameter early black steering wheel
- rubber hood blocks
- bolt-on metal headlight protectors
- lusterless blue-drab stenciling
- welded iron slat grill

Recent mechanical work includes recored & boiled original radiator, new radiator hoses, newly boiled and sealed original fuel tank, new fuel filter, rebuilt Solex Carburetor (original Carter W-O Carburetor included with sale), new period correct round muffler, new plugs, points,condenser, rotor, distributor cap, new 12 volt battery, new e-brake handle, cable, new driver side tool bin lock assembly and all fluid levels verified & topped off.

This Jeep is located in Northern California, specifically Martinez. Certificate of Title is Idaho. Body Paint is Olive-Drab Green Flat. Canvas is all Olive-Drab with a nice, weathered patina. The tub has some bondo floor repairs adjacent to the transmission tunnel and the wiring harness is modified in places for conversion to 12 volt, otherwise the Jeep is primarily original and tight. It starts right up, idles nicely, doesn't overheat and drives well. I'm in no hurry to sell, so please, no low ballers.

Lastly, if you, your husband, father or significant other is a "Jeep Geek" like me, then please realize legitimate original slat grill Jeeps don't come around often. They sit atop the upper echelon of collectible military Jeeps and aren't ever likely to lose value, in fact, they are more likely to continue to appreciate. That being said, purchasing this slat grill now would be the MOST EPIC HOLIDAY GIFT EVER, not to mention a sound investment strategy. Capture this rare opportunity while you can, and I will do everything on my end to assist in a seamless possession and ownership transition.

Thank you for your consideration.
