There's a 42 MB hiding in my driveway, seen here surrounded by Cherokees. under there is an original frame, split windshield, but it has a later M38 body. it's a franken-jeep as most of them are
I've had it
almost to 50 once, downhill with a tailwind. it could maybe have done it if I was behind a semi. but with it's less-than-Porschelike handleing your fighting to keep it on the road at 40. Streetability? 3 sp, 4.88 gears with 30's, a mind-blowing 60 horsepower, manual steering, manual brakes, manual wipers

, no top, rigged seatbelts, 6-volt system, no heat, tubed tires, a tiny gastank, and a suspension guarenteed to make you have to piss every 5 miles. fun to drive around town, yes, but not somthing you want to drive to work in. not a highway vehicle in the least, if you drive damn fast (40) for a long time (2 miles) it starts to overheat. 6-volt system is less than reliable.
the looks you get are worth it.
we think the original L-head motor (or most of it) was swapped with one from a '45, due to serial number (note it says "Jeep" on the head)
check out the massive voltage regulator, nifty replaceable-element oil filter, coolness of the flat head, and the air filter that functions like a bong.
