Everyone knows today's Jeeps are direct descendants of the World War II military vehicles, ut if you want something a little more authentic, hen perhaps this incredibly accurate 1967 Jeep M151A1 will suit you better. A real-deal military vehicle that was decommissioned but never cut up for scrap, t's a fantastic glimpse into the most versatile vehicle ever conceived.These surplus Jeeps were often sold to the public (you may have seen the ads in the back of magazines like "Popular Mechanics"), ut before that, hey were usually cut into four pieces and fully disassembled, eaving it to the new owner to put it all back together. Well, his incredible Jeep was never cut up and was fully restored to fully functional condition, ncluding all the equipment it offered when it was in service. Of course there's the olive drab paint job, omplete with authentic markings and stencils, ut there's so much more than that. The front end is equipped with headlight guards, roll-up radiator canvas, nd a tow rope around the front bumper. A correct military-grade axe hangs under the driver's door opening, oined by a shovel on the passenger's side. Out back, here a jerry can, ear-mounted spare, nd a pair of whip antennas up top. Heck, ust collecting all the authentic tools, angers, nd other equipment must have taken a staggering amount of time and money, ever mind restoring it all to like new condition.If you served prior to the introduction of the Humvee, hen you'll find this one very familiar. It's bare bones throughout, rom the canvas seat cushions (complete with authentic flack jackets) to the narrow rubber-rimmed steering. The starter is still a foot pedal and you'll be amazed by how heavy-duty everything is, rom the tubes feeding the windshield wiper motors to the original gauges in the center of the dash. More awesome accessories and equipment include the heavy-duty M4 pedestal mount for the 50-caliber gun (the gun itself is included, nd stows in the matching trailer), he dual shortwave radios setup in back, nd the ammo box between the seats. Remarkably, his Jeep also includes a full set of foul weather gear, ncluding a canvas top and side curtains, omething very rarely seen, ven on restored military-spec Jeeps.The engine is the same rugged and reliable 141 cubic inch inline four that was used throughout M151 production. We understand that this engine is from a later model, ut they're all pretty much identical so the difference is academic. It's fully rebuilt and runs great, ith a familiar Jeep sound that's gruff but somehow soothing, s if nothing can make it stop running. The engine bay is neatly detailed with basic olive drab paint and satin black enamel, ut check out all the heavy-duty features. The air cleaner is designed to allow the Jeep to ford streams, he fuel system has hard lines instead of rubber hoses, nd even the spark plug wires are armored. The 3-speed manual transmission shifts easily and the suspension makes it feel agile and quick. Brakes are drums, he suspension is live axles and leaf springs, ut there's nothing here that can't be easily serviced in the field. New tires are a pretty close match to the original military rubber and give it just the right military look.The matching trailer is included and that, oo, as been restored to the same high standards and comes fully outfitted with more hardware, oxes, ans, nd canvas. If you want a show-stopper that everyone can relate to, he ultimate Memorial Day parade vehicle, nd something that's just plain fun, his Jeep delivers in a big way. Call today!
