Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Loaded with equipment including a pedestal mounted propane-firing water-cooled .30 caliber and air-cooled .50 caliber machine guns, radio, siren, axe, shovel, M1 Garand and more.

Condition

Meticulously restored and impeccably maintained in authentic military style without going overboard, an exceptionally good example of the Korean Conflict era Jeep by Willys.

Market commentary

Sold for $29,052 at Auburn Fall in 2004 then an astounding $104,500 at Barrett-Jackson WestWorld in 2009 in what must have been a charity sale. It is a quality example and is well worth the price it brought here.
