THE ONLY THING NOT ORIGINAL ON THIS JEEP IS THE TIRES AND WINDSHIELD.

Is there a different definition of ORIGINAL down there in TEXAS?

Up here the proper label would be Abomination and the estimated value $5 to $7 thousand US.

12 volt conversion
civvy ignition
civvy carb
original 24 volt waterproof wiring gone
WWII body handles added all around
WWII foot rests added to bed
Odd top and bows
Odd hood canvas adapted to the hood and grill.
Civvy spoked wheels
Foot step-up insert
Civvy light bar
windshield wipers relocated to bottom.
Incorrect snorkel hook up
Incorrect axe mounting
Body has been lifted a couple inches.
CJ front bumper
Civvy gauges

Looks like a suspension lift and aftermarket springs as well.

But the ONLY THING NOT ORIGINAL ON THIS JEEP IS THE TIRES AND WINDSHIELD.

I remember seeing this "thing" on the boards here several
months ago. At that time the responses were crikey and worse.
Not selling very quickly, is it??

Someone has a lot of money tied up in that mess.

Deja vu all over again.
Yeah, it came up earlier this year under the misrepresentation heading.
Someone will buy it.... Notice the Texas plate on it?

Not even the stock M38A1 driver's seat survived the butchery. Looks like they used an M38 one. Grrrr.

On the positive side, I like the rear seat.

Well all it realy needs is a wet nose and a wagging tail to be a real dog!

I'm only newish on the forum so didn't see its 1st posting bust spoted it on epay and thought some of you guys would find it amuseing.

I guess the wire cutter would come in handy
when you cross the fence into Mexico..

No one from Texas has any desire to go into Mexico. Not even the Mexicans who have escaped from there want to go back any more. It's only foreigners from the far north who still want to experience that.

Besides, you don't need wire cutters to get across the border in Texas. The snorkel would be more useful there.

And by the way, Not all Texans are bubbas, even about jeeps.

That was good Wes. LOL

Mybe it's the offspring of the mule PePe from "Romancing the Stone"
No, it ain't pronounced PeePee. lol
