1974 AM General

This 1974 AM General M151A2 is a “Barstow Mutt” said to have undergone a refurbishment in the 1990s after an extended period of disuse and was acquired by the selling dealer in 2019. Finished in green over a matching interior, the vehicle is powered by a 142ci inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a lever-actuated transfer case. Additional equipment includes a brown canvas top, body-color 16″ steel wheels, a deep-water fording valve, a fender-mounted snorkel air intake, a stack exhaust, a side-mounted ax and spade, and a rear-mounted jerrycan and spare tire. This M151 is offered in Georgia with a clean Indiana title. This M151A2, also known as a “Barstow Mutt,” was a military-specification vehicle that is said to have never been used in active service. This example was refinished in satin green with black stencil lettering, and features include an olive drab canvas soft top with matching doors and side curtains that were replaced in 2020, a fold-down windshield, a driver-side mirror, a side-mounted ax and spade, and a rear-mounted jerrycan and spare tire. A grille cover will also be included in the sale as part of the cold-weather package. Body-color 16″ steel wheels are mounted with 7.00-16″ Firestone tires. The M151A2 is equipped with coil-spring four-wheel independent suspension. The interior features front bucket seats and a rear bench. The sheetmetal surfaces are finished in body color, and other features include a deep-water fording valve, a heater, and a dash-mounted grab handle. A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a painted sheetmetal dash that houses a 60-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 884 miles, 400 of which were added by the seller. The 142ci inline-four is equipped with a fender-mounted snorkel air intake and a stack exhaust. The seller reports that a 24-volt electrical system has been fitted, the fluids were changed and the fuel system was serviced in August 2021, and that a mechanical overhaul was performed by Military Vehicle Repair & Restoration under previous ownership, as evidenced by a badge mounted on the dashboard. Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission and a lever-actuated transfer case.
