Here we are lucky to have a 1 OF 1, 1995 Jeep Wrangler 4-speed inspired by "The Rat Patrol" show from the 1960's. "The Rat Patrol" starring Christopher George is an American television series that aired on ABC from 1966-1968. The show follows 4 Allied soldiers – 3 Americans & 1 British – who are part of a long-range desert patrol group in the North African campaign during World War II. Their mission: "to attack, harass and wreak havoc on Field Marshal Rommel's vaunted Afrika Korps". In the show these soldiers are driving 2, 50 Browning AN/M2-equipped Jeeps.
This 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ "Rat Patrol" was built by the previous owner, an engineer, over the course of 5+ years. It is considered to be a 1 of 1 anywhere, as there are no other known examples built to resemble the the one in the show so perfectly. It is 100% street legal, insured & registered in the sellers name. This Jeep features the .50 Caliber turret gun, shovel, army seats, axe, jerry cans, rope & more to resemble the Jeep from the show. It also has a working sound mechanism. It is said to have no rust, the finish on the Jeep is intentional & is entirely steel.
The seller acquired this Jeep from the builder 5 months ago & has driven it just a few miles as the weather started to drop. It is said to turn heads everywhere it goes & drives wonderfully with no issues. The Wrangler YJ is the 1st generation of 4-wheel-drive small off-road Wranglers. It succeeded the previous CJ series that was produced from 1944-1986. The YJ launched in 1986 & was produced until 1995. The YJ stood out from the CJ by its new square headlights, however, its body was a direct evolution of the CJ-7 & rode on the same wheelbase.
This Jeep is extremely special, included is a used vehicle package & all the paperwork. It reportedly passed Ontario safety with no issues. For US buyers, if the reserve is met, the seller will be happy to deliver it free of charge to Macomb, Michigan & he will pay USA customs clearance including brokerage fees; all that will be needed is to pick it up or have it picked up! We can only imagine the painstaking work over 5+ years put into building this stellar Jeep "Rat Patrol". This custom built all steel Jeep reportedly has 63,380 miles / 102,000 km on the odometer.
