=====================================
Dear Julian:
Good question. The only serial number I have seen for a MUTT M151A2 is
02KG847137050. Two numbers, two letters and nine more numbers. So. although
the letter sequence is out, the combination of numbers/letters/numbers in
the exact secquence and quantity suggests that it IS indeed a serial (VIN)
number. Perhaps Ford or AMG could help?
In Canada, although we have many restored MUTTs they are almost all without
the original data plates which the government removed at the time of sale. I
shall pass the word on the availability of the plates. Where in the world
are you in and which dollars? U.S., Canadian, Australian, or ... ?
Although you are a jeep nut (as am I), I see that you ALSO like the jeep's
very distant cousin, the MUTT.
