Kennyk, You can get them at mpi (aka DMV). Only at some locations , the �jeep needs to be 25 years or older. With vintage plates you can only drive in parades and to auto shops, no inspection required.
 

They look better than our usual plates. But i want to drive mine, and i already did the safety on it... It passed... �;)

Congrats! Did you need reverse light and defroster to pass?

Nope... Not oem. Im also a red seal tech, and do the safeties myself..

Thanks guys,
I'm thinking a cj3a with m38 body? There's no parking brake handle so maybe they couldn't fiqure that part out, the drum is there.

Bill, Here's the glove box, square...





Johnrb3b, Not sure where the steering set up is from, it's GM.

















I thinks this is where the m38 parking brake handle is located. Looks like someone thought it would be a good location for a lighter instead >:(

Hi Pete,
The windshield is M38. I can't say anything about the rest.

Do you know what the steering upgrade is? Saginaw? Or something pulled out of an old Blazer? Or?

The hood is definitely aftermarket and the tail lights are scrounged from something non-Jeep.

But it looks like a good, solid Jeep to play with. Have fun and post more pictures. We love pictures.

That kinda rules out a repro body. Please post more photos, I'm not seeing much M-38 stuff in the engine compartment.

Hey Bob, Yes the door is square.

Could be an older reproduction body. Is the glove box door square?

I rented a car hauler from uhaul and set out to pick up my jeep. With insurance it cost $75.




The hauler they gave me was almost to wide, just made it on. I'm sure uhaul has an orange car hauler that is narrower.




The tires on the Willys were to big for the tire straps, so I had to tie them around them axels.






This Willys doesn't have an oil filter! What the heck! >:(









Bottom Right of the pic below you can see the stock rims I picked up. Top let are the tires I plan to use 7.00x 15 (left over from my veep project)








Tool marking and glove box on the passenger side. Pulleys in the engine bay have grooves for 2 belts. The PO told me this was a cj3a, but from what I've read looks like I have a m38! Guess this means good bye :'(

Bill, I wanted to get the veep inspected so I could drive it anytime.... However they said it wouldn't pass because the vw frame had beed shortened to fit the body. They also said it wasn't really a 1971 vehicle so I couldn't use the plates. :P

Thanks all. I'll post some more pic's of the cj3 the seller sent me tonight.

Nice looking rides.  

I'm particularly fond of the green 3A.  Looks like it's got a few mods, but still looks great.  

Post some more photos when it gets home.

I have always thought a Veep would be an interesting toy... What was it like to drive?
 Of  course my brain would be very confused hearing that VW whistle instead of the normal jeep gear and fan noises..  Was the inability to register it due to an elecrtic motor conversion or ?? (Seems like it has plates in the pics?)

Looks like you get a nice hardtop with your new jeep. Hopefully the tub is all clean and solid as a result.
