Vehicle History:
I acquired this 1953 Willys four years ago. I have copies of original bills of sale from Willys Motors Inc (R Hawley, Cashier, Toledo 1, Ohio) to the U.S. Government, Federal Civil Defense Administration, Washing, D.C. dated March 1953, Invoice No 23856.
It was salvaged from a mudslide by and transferred ownership to a Raymond Johnson in 8/5/68. I have an Alaska Motor Vehicle Division registration from 9/18/74 to Samuel Miller, the fellow I got it from. He used it for moose hunting (put bogs on it, removed pump, added winch, still has the siren!) and said he never drove it on pavement. I bought his property here in NE Oregon and we made a deal to include the jeep. It is registered to me in Oregon now.
List of Potential Issues:
Needs gaskets, fluids, tune up. Gasoline needs lead additive. Shocks and tires due for replacement. Soft top and seats need minor repair or replacement.
