Out of curiosity how is the 67 registered ? My 63 was under the Willys “MD” designation.

It’s a Kaiser
So was my 63 a first year “Kaiser Jeep” (from 1953 “Willys Motors” with Kaiser Willys incorporation) but the registration said make “Willys”- model “MD”. The tailgate “Willys” and dash plaque “Willys Overland Motors” , but I got it in 77 so I can’t verify the tailgate as original. …. Therefore my curiosity.
That said they sold to AMC in 70, but not officially changed to AMC Jeeps until 72. 🤷🏼‍♂️
AI didn’t help, it said the tailgate changed to Jeep in 1950, that’s BS I can verify, Dad’s 50 says Willys. Found it, Willys used thru 64.

That old timer Jeep is beautiful. Who needs heated seats and heated steering wheels (us I guess).
Something you can still work on yourself as well.

I get that but this was my grandpa's Willys and I wanted to keep,it original. I spent my summers with grandma and grandpa when I was a kid and spent many an hour riding shotgun. When grandpa died in the 1970's my cousin got Willy. I got it from him when I retired.

I can definitely appreciate the originality. Like everything in life as I get older, modern stuff generally means less tinkering. Currently LS6 swapping my 73 Nova for that same reason.
