Mechanical reliability is more important than the paint job. I’m not looking for a show car on the outside. I’m not a collector or a rich man looking for a toy, either.

The jeep will be a daily driver, averaging 15 miles a day on city roads, with 30-mile trips on the highway to the VA hospital every few months. Hence, as soon as I buy the vehicle, I’ll be paying someone to put in an overdrive (hopefully a Warn, to keep it original), to decrease engine stress and increase gas mileage.

Why an old jeep? I learned to drive on a jeep; my first vehicle was a jeep; went on my first dates in a jeep; married my first date in a jeep, and I’m still married to my first date nearly 50 years later. (Thankfully, she likes jeeps, too.) I’m old (65) now and want my last vehicle to be an old jeep. Some people just belong in jeeps. I’m one of those people.

My father served as an artillery forward observer with Patton’s Army in Europe during War II; I was an artillery forward observer for paratroop infantry with the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions in Viet Nam, 1968-1969. I wanted to be a good soldier and own a jeep since I was six years old. In short, jeeps are in my blood and connected to sacred times. If you want to know more about me, you can Google my name, Greg Gianas.

Since I live in Seattle, I will soon need a top and good windshield wipers, the best I can buy, if the vehicle doesn’t have a top or good windshield wipers.

I judge vehicles by how the owner keeps the engine compartment and how often he or she changes the oil. Every vehicle I’ve owned has surpassed 400,000 miles on the original engine, perhaps because I change the oil and filters every 2,000 miles without fail. As previously mentioned, the jeep doesn’t need to be pretty on the outside, but it does need to be extremely well-maintained and rock “solid” on the inside (mechanical and electrical).

Since I’m not mechanically inclined (I’m a mechanical idiot, if the truth be told), I don’t want to buy a vehicle that another mechanical idiot rebuilt. Whoever restored it needs to have known what they were doing. I’m familiar with pricing for all Willys versions.

If you know of someone with such a jeep, please let me know as soon as you can. I’m a caged greyhound for an old, solid, reliable jeep.
