Possible next project.
I'm going to check this out this afternoon. It's about an hour away. 1962 *****'s Jeep Wagon, and has a Chevy 350 with headers, a hydraulic clutch, 4WD, no heater or wipers or exhaust(I'll have to do that) 4sp, body is good, paint rough. Wonder if I can squeeze a 454 in there??? 
The firewall was cut back to allow room for the HEI distr. That's where the wiper motor was. 
I want to license this as a regular passenger vehicle instead of a classic or antique -which means the wipers would need to work.
Was a driver until 1989 and then it's been parked. Engine hasn't been started in about a year. Present owner didn't do the V8 Conversion so is unsure of what year the engine is. Frame looks good in that last shot.
Good news is my wife loves it, I almost fell off my chair when she said lets go look at it. She even said she would want to drive it too.
She saw a modded one in an Eddie Bauer catalog a few years ago and has liked them since.

He's gonna fix the clutch, put on a better door, put on the exhaust and throw in a bunch of misc parts.
I checked out the wiper problem and I should be able to use a couple CJ motors or VW motors.
Title is clean.
