One Word..... WOW!!!!!

This has GOT to be the least rusted, most complete jeep ever found in the State of Maine...

Except maybe the one that ended up in Gettyburg PA that I missed by a day... :mrgreen:

This baby looks like a candidate for a fluid flush, new battery, grease job, brake adjustment and a nice ride up Mt Battie!!!

Nice to see these are still out there!!!

WoW! Nice! You can certainly use this one to verify what was what and how it was put together originally. I like the idea of keeping it as is. Good luck and keep us posted.
