Heh yeah there is some really cool stuff out there if you have the ca$h. I know a few sites that you can buy real tanks from in perfect working order except for the guns which are DEWAT. Street legal too. They see a lot of use in Parades and things like that. But nothing like a 1945 fully restored Jeep M451 I think. Far more Real than Bills real jeep :)

I have a 1947 Willy's Jeep. I've been thinking about selling it for some time. I've done nothing with it for years except move it for winter storage.

About 12-15 years ago, the 4 cylinder motor was rebuilt. It's a L-head, but most call it a flat head since it's flat. Crank welded up and turned down, new bearing set/seals, valves cut and ground, pistons reconditioned, new rings, replaced all four brake wheel cylinders, rebuilt the master brake cylinder, ran all new brake lines, rebuilt the carb, added new shocks, two new tires and wheels that match the slightly used fronts. Bought a new soft top but never completed the install, I just hate drilling the holes for the snaps. Doors are still in the box. Starter rebuilt. Motor starts and runs, but misses and pops above 1/2 throttle (may need valves adjusted / carb adjustments). Motor has maybe 200-300 miles on it, the oil on the dip is still clear. This motor was striped, cleaned, and repainted when rebuilt. Clutch plate was in good shape and are the brake shoes. Front end aligned. Some light rust holes near taillights, and some surface rust in other areas. Gas gauge and speedometer don't work, but charging gauge and oil pressure gauge work (if I remember correctly). It's sits a bit slanted to the drivers side, the leaf springs may need re-bent/replaced. Also changed all drive train fluids.

OK, Guys, what is it worth?

Cheers, Jim

I'll give you $150 to take it off your hands....

If you give me $500 bucks and a clear title, I'll take it off your hands. Not only that, I'll come all the way to Omaha and pick it up, just to show you what a nice guy I are.

I don't know Matt, ......... it just don't seem fair, you had to flip a lot of hamburgers to get that $150! Your two week paycheck for my Willys, geeeze I just don't know.

Cheers, Jim

OK, it's a deal!

But, I'm a little concerned........I just don't think your Vega will make this far without being towed.

Cheers, Jim

It is one of the special models with hybrid power. All I need to do is be careful to bring enough nuts for the squirrel.

As long as it's about 1/3 downhill, he'll be OK.
