1958 IKA Jeep JA-3UB Godoy Cruz, Mendoza, Argentina eBay

The shipping on this from Argentina would be a killer -- However, I can't say I've ever seen these for sale in the US. You can learn more about the JA-3UB here (though the translation is rough).

Here is an example of a IKA Jeep with an unusual soft top.
