Her neighbor took care of her until her last days.The wife left everything house and all contents to the neighbor. The Jeepster was in it.The neighbor's daughter ended up getting the Jeep, She kept it in her garage for many more years. ended up moving to KS and brought it with her.I bought the Jeep from her neighbor which by the way she ended up giving him the Jeep prior to moving to TX, he brought it back to life and drove it for about 200 miles.I'm not planing to give the Jeep to my neighbor ;-) so here is your chance to own a rare piece of American history!This is a low millage original paint survivor, one of the rarest Jeeps ever built.Body is strait and in great shape for being nearly 50 years old, some surface rust and rust in the usualplace, stock untouched Jeep still have the original spare tire.Runs very well and starts up the first time every time.
