Tires on jeep dated 10-66 and one marked 1951 would need tires for driving at speeds above 30 That's as fast as I have had it up to not wanting to test the very old tires... What you see is what you get. Not a show winner but a 100% usable, excellent running, street legal ,1942 GPW Jeep. We drove the jeep memorial day. She is a real attention getter draws a crowd where ever you go.. Lots of fun.. The reserve was almost met last auction missed only by a few hundred dollars and has been removed. Tagged as a Texas Antique vehicle. She is 76 years old and could use some work, but who wouldn't at her age.. Any questions don't hesitate to ask...
