Theres a Combat 6 Jeep on Australian ebay at the moment

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1966-CJ-6...item1c1d3001ef

Accompanying narration -

Willys 1966 CJ 6 Jeep. One of only 604 factory converted Combat 6 Jeeps ever produced. These jeeps were imported from the USA to the Australian Willys factory in Queensland as a CJ 5, the chassis was factory extended to CJ 6 specifications, a 12 volt electrical system added along with a Falcon 6 cylinder (this one an original configuration 170ci). According to Company records, there were only 604 total CJ6's including utes, soft tops, hard tops, etc, converted by Willys, and this is one of them. The rest are either rusted out, or butchered beyond recognition. That makes this one a rare find for the jeep enthusiast. The engine, gearbox (three speed dana spicer T90 and T18 transfer box) are original and rebuilt, the diffs are original and rebuilt, steering box, brakes, tailshafts, all original and rebuilt.

It was used as my daily work car in the country, it went under full restoration in 1998 when it was knocked back on rego for shackle rubbers, and has finally been finished in 2010 (I was in no hurry) I have restored it to as close to original specifications as I could. Chassis was sandblasted and painted, minor body rust repaired and jeep painted in two-pack enamel. It has new original spec wheels and brand new bar tread 6 X 16 inch tyres (fitted in 2010) The original seat has been rebuilt and re-upholstered. New wiring, original speedometer, aftermarket other instruments. Just about every nut and bolt replaced with quality newbies. New laminated windscreen and frame. Brand new Bestop soft top with doors, It is registered and has current RWC. She runs well, looks great, and is now once again my everyday work car. Heaps of restoration photos and receipts.

I have a new project - a 1965 International Scout 80 I want to start restoring, so the Jeep has to go as I need the cash.
