Vehicle description

I Inherited this jeep. . I know quite a bit about these but not everything by any means. The Prev owner owned it since 56.
Things I know. . -Original WILLYS Slat grill jeep. . with real original WILLYS SCRIPT where it belongs. .
-REBUILT MOTOR…. Sometime in the last 3 yrs or so. . the jeep was gone thru…. motor has less than probably 200 miles on it. I wasn"t there when it was done of course but I know it has that few miles on it b/c soon after … he got sick and couldn"t use it anymore.
And it shows b/c it all looks brand new. it has been loved and cherished all its life always stored inside a garage. . or now in my shop. . except of course when he drove it… mainly around the 8 acre property he owned and 1 time on the road I know of for sure when I took him to dmv to help him reg it …. that was a few yrs ago. . -It is a REAL and ORIGINAL 1941 slat grill jeep. . it has the willys script on the back. the correct toe board brackets under the hood and the correct brake line bracket in the back under the jeep . . no glove box.
The jeep now has the lettering on it. I had it sprayed after some pics were taken. otherwise its all how it looks. it does have the lettering now . . -Also has the original short windshield…which im told dates this to an early slat grill. .
-It definitely has repro combat wheels on it. .They are new. . with new tires…He wanted fresh tread and new wheels for safety… unfortunately I can’t find the original solid disc wheels on the property either. .He told me several times they are there but If they are I cant find them. .
-it has also been converted to 12 volt and has an after market starter and alternator. . He wanted to not mess with the 6 volt system after having it all rebuilt so those were changed … easy to swap back if wanted. . but those parts are not there either. Not that I can find anyway. . -it has the t84 trans that shifts thru all the gears nice etc. . and drives well. . -It has the original and correct axles also. . -The gauges all LOOK close to correct but the old ones were mostly not working. . so im told those got replaced with repros… unfortunately the old ones are also gone.
-It was missing the pancake air cleaner and he didn’t have 1500 to get the correct repro so It has the later mb oil bath type that looks new…. pretty much definatley a repro. . -It has the data plates but they must be repros too b/c they are Like brand new.… - It has the original split frame seats. . also. . -Overall… from my investigation and from what he told me over the years. . It is basically a mostly 98% original … REAL (Early) 1941 SLAT GRILLE JEEP… I know he changed some things for Safety Like tires and Rims …. and I know some things that were missing like the air cleaner … That were put on to make it complete. . all mentioned above. -I"m happy to answer questions I can . . as I said. all the things I know of to check are real. except the repro stuff mentioned. The p.o. told me he got this from the military in 1956. and he loved it. The metal all seems very very solid. . I knock all over it hard with my nuckles. and it is solid. No soft spots.
* * sale is as is. . where is. . and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. . it is a 70 plus yr old vehicle. . and I can"t begin to know all the exact history of this jeep. it runs and drives and stops well. . everything seems to work great. . and it looks very original and looks new to me. . and it has new brakes and clutch and most all new wear parts that were replaced on rbld… HOWEVER …. READ THIS. . THIS IS ALL FROM MY PROSPECTIVE. YOUR STANDARDS MAY BE DIFFERENT. I AM NO EXPERT. SEND A MECHANIC OR COME LOOK AT IT FOR YOURSELF. FROM MY PROSPECTIVE IT LOOKS NICE AND DRIVES GREAT. BUT IS AS IS. .
* *I will give you a clean clear CALIFORNIA title that is in my name. I will sign it over to you once paid in full and I have all the cash in my hand or my acct… you will have to arrange with YOUR SHIPPER IF NEEDED. . and I will do a release of liability immediately when its picked up by you or your shipper. . Or I can mail It ALL to you FED EX if you WANT. . ITS ALL up to you.
Feel Free to come see it or have a mechanic come look at it. . . i can’t see any reason you would be disappointed… BUT AGAIN. ITS FROM MY PROSPECTIVE. I can work with your shipper. and I live in an area that makes pick up no problem. BUT IT IS YOUR SHIPPER AND YOUR RISK ONCE HE TAKES IT. . .916. . 208. .0727. .… txt anytime. . or call too if you want. . im Richard. . . These SLAT GRILL JEEPS that are real. almost never come up on line. so if you have always wanted one. . here is your chance. . I don"t think it will last long. .
I figure if someone wants to make this perfect they can buy the orig rims and air cleaner 6 volt stuff and the correct speedo. . all for 2 or 3 thousand. the price reflects that. . This will likely be my only run of this add. . Please only bid if you want this jeep and intend to pay within 3 days . . UNLESS YOU MAKE OTHER ARRANGMENTS I AGREE WITH. I have had people buy stuff after i had several bids and then then end up never paying. . these adds are expensive. . please be honest …. AND ONLY BUY IF YOU WANT IT. SORRY TO BE SO DIRECT BUT SOME PEOPLE DON"T HAVE COMMON SENSE AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS ALL CLEAR. . SO I PUT ALL THIS HERE.
thx for looking.
