1941 Rat Rod Rock Crawler MB/GPW
Description
Recent build, only 3 years old. I have 2 other Jeeps and recently acquired an addiction to Volkswagens, its time to part with this. I have had it all over the North East, it straight up kicks butt! It has wicked traction, gobs of torque, and has the stature to fit in places most fullsize crawlers on 1tons cant go. This was a professional build, not a shade tree hack,

-Tires, 36x13.5x 15 Iroks, about half tread grip like a mofo. Boring black Bard steel wheels
This rig was built specifically for North East style of offroading, meaning that it has plenty of power to spin tires in mud, is short and narrow enough to weave through tight wooded trails, has skid plates and rock rails to handle boulder bashing, computerized fuel injection to handle climbing and any angle. Is quick enough to drag race your buddies on a straight away. I've wheeled this at Rausche Creek and it was capable enough to make some wicked climbs. It has also survived wheeling really gnarly trails at Field and Forest in NH,
I have the reserve for the Jeep set at $7500. IF the auction price meets $10,000 I will include the aluminum trailer. The trailer was custom fabricated specifically for hauling this jeep. It was built less than a year ago, and only weighs 1100lbs! Win the auction and all you need is a truck with a 2" ball hitch to haul it home.
This auction is for the Jeep only. ONLY IF THE AUCTION MEETS $10,000 WILL THE TRAILER BE INCLUDED.
also, I should mention that eBay requires that I include information on the title. I do not have any paperwork for this Jeep, it was built specifically for offroad use. I will include a hand written bill of sale with purchase. The trailer is 100% legal, with registration and title.
If you have any questions message me your phone number and I will call you.
