1971 UNIVERSAL JEEP BY AMERICAN MOTORS This Universal ( desirable short nosed) Jeep still has its original factory paint as it did the day it rolled off the Toledo, Ohio plant. This is the FIRST year for AMC production of the Jeep. AMC purchased the Jeep brand from Kaiser in 1970. The color code is 434 "Vintage Gold". The paint holds a great shine as in EXCELLENT original condition with original interior. The floor pans are solid and only have minor paint rub from the carpet. This Jeep runs as well as it looks. The Jeep boasts the very desirable 225 V6 motor known as the "Dauntless V6". The Jeep has a great factory rumble that was light-years ahead of the older Hurricane 4 cylinder motors. By 1971, Kaiser and AMC had perfected this motor originally developed by Buick. By 1972 (a year later), AMC lengthened the engine bay for the straight six 232/258 motor. Many of the Jeep purists believe this is when the true look of the original Willy's Jeep started to get stretched and distorted looking. I couldn't agree more. The three speed T-14 transmission shifts flawlessly. Its a great transmission for cruising or moderate off-road use. I get compliments on the Jeep whenever I take it for a short cruise. Completely Rust/ Rot free and spent it's entire life in Oklahoma and Colorado. I purchased the Jeep last year from an elderly man and his son who use to tow it behind his motor-home from Oklahoma to Colorado twice a year (see original pictures). The Universal Jeeps odometer as approximately 62k original miles. The original owner believe more than half were towed. The engine compartment looks amazing. Here is your chance to own a great piece of American History. If you know Jeeps, you know just how rare these finds are in this condition. I have several original vintage late 1970's photos of this exact Jeep from the original owner. Must see to appreciate. I have owned several classic Jeeps and this is by far one of the nicest I have owned (collector quality). Please feel free to contact me any time for more pictures or a video. This Jeep is truly a gem. I do ask that you call before purchasing. The buyer must pay a 500.00 non-refundable Pay-Pal deposit. This Jeep is sold AS-IS. Remember, it's a classic original. This Jeep is 43 years old and has been garage pampered. I reserve the right to end the listing if I accept an offer or is sold locally. I will assist with vehicle transport.
