I have been wanting one of those for a while. Good score.

 

[bratpackdad]

[IYAOYAS]

Lucky! It looks to be in a fairly good shape and has not been bubba-fied out (like all the ones I see here...).

Welcome!
We have a local MailMan (counter-guy downtown) that collects these- He has several.... Will be taking our deuce by there soon for him to drool over.

There are three of those jeeps for sale just a few miles from my house. If you want me to go see what he wants for them just let me know.

They used to be dirt cheap. I expect the prices to rise if they haven't already. Blown injected small block would really deliver the mail.

I had one a few years ago...painted it "fire engine red" and had chrome full disc hubcaps on it. It was in immaculate condition...body and drive train.
A feller followed me to work one day and offered me almost 5 times what I had in it so.....I don't have it anymore....and I see it once in awhile in Harris County Georgia....delivering the mail!!!

I traded a 1982 gold wing for it. and it is painted pretty funky but I like it and the lady delivered mail with it for years. Just 2 wd and straight 6 with automatic tranny.

Thanks, but 4 MVs is plenty. I might hit you up at a later date though.

Ever ride in a deuce at highway speed?

 

[PropDr]

LOL. Good to know that I'm not the only one that has gone postal on this site. Oh By the way they have a nasty habit of breaking the driver side rear main leaf in the spring pack. That has the Audi engine in it right? They had some really odd engines in them in the later years....

Mine was the DJ-5b With the Odd bellhousing amc 232, and BorgWarner t-35. Hit me up if you have any questions.

My motor has already been swapped out for an inline 6 cylinder 258 I think. back end above the frame where a cross member is the bed pan is broke out pretty bad.

The person I got it from said that they have a real bad problem of burning up the switches so the starter is by passed with a switch instead of the key ignition.

I saw one yesterday that has been, though. One of the rural carriers out of the Dewy Rose, GA post office has one that he bought as surplus and then painted 3-color NATO camo. I like it!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I've been debating getting one to make and EV out of. There are several here really cheap. Need a manual tranny though...
