This is a 1961 titled year (year sold) Willy’s Jeep, Serial Number 57548 115728 (Manufactured 1960). It was my Uncles project vehicle that he restored from the ground up. He was a very accomplished mechanic with over 50 years of experience. During the restoration process he was very meticulous in documenting everything; In-process pictures, receipts, and any other various documents. I am the third registered owner however it was only done to sell it. This jeep is an off-roading Monster, it was built to handle rugged Mountainous terrain. Engage 4x4 Lo, place in first gear, and watch it climb a mountain at idle.
