This Jeep-based creation started out life as a Postal Jeep in the 1950s. At some point, a New Mexico-based artisan took that base and created this custom. It is now fitted with a 230 cubic inch Chevy straight six, agricultural-grade 3-speed manual transmission, and minimal suspension. This extremely low, stiff, home-built creation has a cool aesthetic that falls somewhere between single seat dirt tracker and 1940s tractor. It runs and drives and is sold on a bill of sale.

The narrow, tractor-based bodywork sits low over the solid front axle, leaving the steering mechanism fully exposed above the cowling. The headlights and rear-mounted running lights work, but the brake lights do not.

There are no rear wheel guards, and the seller advises staying well clear of them when the vehicle is underway.

The fuel tank is a simple large, metal container mounted in the center of the rear deck. As there is no suspension the vehicle sits very low, with around two inches of ground clearance.

Though outfitted with a guard over the driveshaft, there are no instruments, floor, or seatbelts. The master cylinder is positioned under the driver’s right leg, and the seller notes that the 3-speed gear change requires some getting used to.

The seat is rudimentary, and the seller notes it is difficult to get into a comfortable driving position. To start it there is a switch for the fan, a switch for the lights and a key switch. Pull the choke, give it a few

pumps of gas, depress the clutch turn on the fan and turn the key. Here is a video of it running.

The seller has provided two more videos of the vehicle running, one is above and the second video can be viewed here.

The drivetrain and chassis setup can be seen exposed above. The engine is a 230 cubic inch Chevy inline-six, and the seller describes the vehicle as being loud, powerful, and a lot of fun to drive. The seller believes it could be registered as a homebuilt in some states.
