This jeep I bought from a gentleman in CT USA. It came with a seccond slat grill jeep that will be used as a donor jeep to restore 101653. The reason I want to restore this jeep is because it has the original data plate and the original body can be repaired without any Philipine panels. The Chassis never had the frame tag. The holes for the rivets have never been drilled in the frame rail which to my opinion is the reason for the lack of the frame tag. All technical components are present, and most of the hard to find stuff like wheels, instruments, Low WS, etc. The engine I am going to use comes out of a GPW that I bought a few years ago. It has engine number 107576 and is '41 dated This engine has all the early futures and is professionally rebuilt with mostly NOS parts. This jeep will be joyned with his little younger brother Slat 102557.
