This 1945 MB was rebuilt in 2012. Unfortunately, it seems to be a mix of parts (GPW body and MB frame for example). Also, it seems the parking brake equipment was not installed.

“Documents list all the work that was done when it was restored in 2012, at a total of $22,566. I love this jeep but unfortunately I will be moving across the country in the next year and don’t have options for storage. Someone else will enjoy it!
Odometer 96,930 (no more than 25 miles have been put on it since the engine was redone.”
’42-’43 GPW body….Transfer case looks different to me…
Maybe reproduce body also, post war engine head
What are the features of the body that make you say ‘42-‘43 GPW or repro body?
Pad behind water pump looks too wide across for ww2 block and no oval pad on right side of block.so Probably post war block as well. 12 volt electrical system, a lot wrong for that kind of money.
Doug, agreed. Based on those items plus a number of other items, what are the crowd’s thoughts on fair price for an otherwise solid mostly repro/non-original MB?
