    Thanks for posting the brochure - it's cool! 8)

    I'm guessing it was printed in 1965. Interesting that the 3.92 axle ratio was available. Never heard of such a thing.

    Quite an option list ("Partial Option List") - compare that with the modern brochures. Now you can only buy one of 4 models of Wrangler - no mixing and matching! Do other manufacturers still have the long option list?

    Yeah, I'd say late '65, I remember they first advertised them as 155 hp. Picture #4 I used to stare at in Outdoor Life magazine and dream. 3.92 ratio, that's interesting. Hmmmm.

    Bubba: I bought this off Ebay a few weeks ago. I get a kick out of the description "The New Flying 'Jeep' Universal". Didn't know the 'ol :v6: could FLY1 R)

    I saw that. Did you get it from Autolit.com? I bought a '69 Jeep Brochure from him.

    I like the red air breather and fan blades. If I had mine out I might do the same thing. Maybe if I ever re-build him I will.

    I also wish really bad I had one of those original alternator brackets.

    Yea John, I thought I remembered you posting it on the Ebay forum. I just bid the min and no one else bid.

    I don't think the engine was ever painted that color scheme. But I do notice you can see the little insulated vaccume tube to the choke going over the pass header. The Alt bracket is the same as mine.

    I picked up one of those brochures at a swap meet a few years ago. That 3.92 ratio had me wondering too.
