1964 M151 military jeep
Original 2.5L Hercules Industrial engine, 24v waterproof ignition
Original 4 speed manual transmission/t-case
Got Propane Samurai propane kit, 2 new tanks
78 Ford Dana 44, full spool, 5.38 gears, new Milemarker hubs, Poison Spider diff cover, reinforced high steer arms
78 Ford 9", mini spool, 5.43 gears, disc brake conversion
16.5" Hummer wheels, recentered 5 on 5.5", BTF rim stiffeners, cut down magnesium double beadlocks/runflats
36" Goodyear RT -2 tires, custom cut, no plugs/patches
Performance Offroad Systems hydraulic steering: double ended ram, load reactive valve, saginaw pump
"Chopped" fold down window frame in good shape with no glass
24v electrical system, headlights tail/brake light, your arm turn signals
"Street legal", licensed and insured until recently
Belted .50 cal racing stripes on hood.
I built this buggy from scratch and finished about 2 1/2 years ago. I only wheeled it a few times before the engine quit and I kind of lost interest. The engine had ignition problems and sketchy oil pressure last time it ran, but new "power packs" are available inexpensively as military surplus. The seat is on sliding mounts so small people/kids could potentially drive it, but anyone over 6' will be a tight fit. The suspension is my own design and works awesome, smooth and stable with lots of uptravel and articulation and the driveshafts are fully protected.
I am asking $3900 or best offer with a few misc spare parts. Located in Guntersville AL. Must be seen in person to be appreciated....make me an offer. Feel free to call or text questions 256 506 0189.
Chassis in primer
Right after I finished building it.
