This gentleman bought a Dauntless V6 engine from me last Nov., so I have done business with him. He told me about the jeep and we even discussed the possibility of me rebuilding it. He does have quite a collection of various Jeeps in the 'heart' of the city of Portland, ME.

As I don't have a jeep yet, I'd love to drive that over to Flight Deck Brewery for some beers.

As documented navy jeeps are more rare, does it make it more or less desirable since most people seem to want Army jeeps?

Seller sent me a couple of pictures. While it's painted Navy Gray and there is a picture on the Naval Air Station when it was acquired it looks like a standard Army jeep. Front bumper and frame horns are missing. There's no sign of lifting hooks on the rear. No sign of a Navy dash plate. The hood has a number in range for a late '42 MB.

Proceed with caution if you are not familiar with New England rot boxes. Price seems awfully high to me.
