Restoration candidate. Motor is an older rebuild with little use thereafter. Clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing was supposed to have been at that time also. Receipt for motor rebuild. It is not running at this time, but gets spark to the points, not plugs. As soon as I get time will replace the coil (new coil on order). If I get it running, moving, driver painted, price goes up . Has four new wood pieces for the top. I believe two over windshield header, two side rail and one large back bow. The top frame is excellent and has the three latches. The rear top window is good. There are two driveshafts (not installed). Most of the stainless trim is there. The bumpers are fairly straight and most of the chrome / stainless will buff out (Coke and tinfoil works great to reverse sediment . A couple splash panels as shown. The back seat bottom spring is pretty much gone, top/back rest part and support tube/frame is in vehicle. The front seat is all there. The windshield glass/framing is good. There are four wing window glass replacements with it (not pictured). Passenger wind wing glass is cracked. There is an original steering wheel other than the custom one on it now (see parts pic). Original wheel is not that good (see parts on the ground picture). Rockers have rust / previous bondo work on both sides as shown, but are mostly solid and there (see rocker underside picture). Passenger door has dents. Other rust is on left/driver windshield frame bottom(see pic) and in floors, roll under below rear bumper. The front floors are original with some small holes and the back floor has couple bigger holes (see pictures). Frame is great. The rear floor behind the rear seat almost rust free. Brakes are not working. I have some brake shoe reliners and rivots) Needs tires. Only two Willys hubcaps. Has a spare rim/tire. Most of the original floor is there with random rust holes. Most good from back of front seat to back of jeep. There are sheet metal panels in front driver/passenger floor areas. The cowl/firewall seems good. I do have the glove box door. Gauges and guages glass look good; has dash ashtray; knobs pull out. Front steering seems tight (NOT worn steering box gears). Motor builds compession with a few hand turnings and that is with the plugs not torched tight (as mentioned above plugs left loose to squirt oil into cylinders and occasionally hand turned over the sitting years. Has new plugs, wires, cap, points, rotor, etc done by previous owner). This has a clear Florida title. Vehicle ID # is: P25216. Color: Red. Manufacturer's plate under dash reads : 451 BA1 10173
