Vehicle Story: Purchased from the son of its second owner. His dad purchased it second-hand in 1948 in Carlsbad, New Mexico to use for transportation between pumpjacks in his occupation as an oil ´wildcatter´. The son recounts ´cutting trail to the first well as a three year old riding between his father´s knees to help him steer´. The Jeep seldom traveled more that a few miles from it´s home. In the 1950´s the father and son took the Jeep over Slumgullion Pass, Colorado on a fishing trip, and another time they took it over Taylor Pass, Colorado. His father kept it covered in his later years, hoping to one day restore it. After his father passed away, the son kept it a few years before selling it to me in late 2003. I acquired the Jeep in mechanically sound condition with high compression on all four cylinders and a strong drivetrain. Cosmetically, there was surface rust with bad spots only in the toolbox and passenger floorboard. Sold December, 2004.
