It was found in a barn in eastern Washington, and always a Washington car, last licensed in 1974.He was going to make a street rod or restore it,but with his health problems he has decided to sale. This Jeepsterwas stored away in 1974, yes over 42 years.Itdid havea engineswap some time in it lifeto a Ford 289 V8 and C4 Transmission. The engine is stuck and will not turn over. I tried with a good battery withits own starter but itwillnot turn, The owner said it ran 5 year ago.Very nice body with only a couple of flaws.
