I had the absolute and distinct pleasure of assessing quite possibly the most complete and unrestored BRC left on the planet today. BRC1306 seems to be about as nut and bolt original as humanly possible. The only items I was unable to fined were the air cleaner, carb, radiator, and spare mount and spare rim. Otherwise it appeared to complete. I even found the crank handle. I will be working with the current owners to develop a plan for the jeep and will be looking to begin restoration middle of next year. I am very excited to be part of this process moving forward. Enjoy, fellers!

Wow, congrats! Great find. The parts you are looking for will be a little problem in original probably. But here is I think good place...
The carb will be less problem.
I am also looking for orig. air cleaner... . Can post some more pics?
My BRC 2124 is 2-nd serie's.

But nice find, 1-st serie's...!

Can anyone tell me (please) just a little bit about those particular tail light buckets...particularly the bucket door? I just found one when I was cleaning out the garage.

Cheers,

These are early BRC, GP and Dodge correct.

Is there any possibility of using the original top bow brackets to make a pattern of to cast new ones?

[Unibuddy]

Absolutely, but it won't be anytime in the immediate future. I'm shooting to be back up in a month or so to take a very accurate inventory and will discuss the possibility with the owners.
