UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Engine block built by Ford and matches frame and original data plates. The frame is the early MB frame with the Ford ID number stamped into it which proves this is a very early production. This Jeep has been assembled as close to factory standards as possible. The assembly could be classified as, “Built To Museum Quality” standards. The work was performed by Mike’s Military Motor’s in Santa Rosa, CA.
Date of Delivery: 3/25/1942
The accoutrements to this Jeep are:
1) the complete Capstan style winch and Tandem Tow bar assembly
2) period correct WW2 Jeep radio assembly BC 659 all in working order.
3) this Jeep has all of the original style Horse-hair spring seats with all new canvas.”
The jeep is sold. The new owner and I picked it up this last weekend. Nice, very nice GPW. It drives excellent and the engine is the smoothest L134 I have ever had the pleasure to drive and listen to.
Thanks Brett. I’ve updated the post.
