The seller offers for sale this 1978 AM General M151A2 MUTT, a classic military utility vehicle with a 2.3 liter four-cylinder petrol engine and manual gearbox. This example previously belonged to a large private collection and, as often happens, was rarely used. It remained operational until around eight years ago and at that time passed inspection without issues. The vehicle is delivered running, although a mechanical check is recommended due to extended periods of storage. During this time it was kept in a garage. The Jeep was restored to a high standard, including bodywork, underside, engine, and transmission. The paintwork was recently redone and shows no corrosion with only small imperfections. The interior was rebuilt new and presents well. The engine starts without issues, produces no abnormal smoke or noises, and the gearbox shifts smoothly without unusual sounds. The vehicle has not been involved in accidents and has no known damage.
The AM General Jeep M151A2 MUTT is one of the most recognizable light military vehicles of the Cold War era. Developed for versatility and durability, it served with armed forces around the world and became known for its compact size, independent suspension, and strong off-road capabilities. Compared to earlier Jeeps, the M151A2 offered improved handling and ride comfort while maintaining a rugged, functional design. Today, the MUTT is appreciated by collectors for its historical relevance, mechanical simplicity, and unmistakable military character. It offers a unique driving experience that blends utilitarian engineering with classic Jeep heritage, making it popular among military vehicle enthusiasts and event participants.
