1940 Bantam BRC Photo eBay

This is a great press release photo taken a little more than a week after the Bantam arrived at Holabird for testing. Thanks to Steve for finding it.
One thing I noticed about the photo. See how the dirt from behind the front fender was thrown onto the side of the jeep. I’m wondering if the thing we’ve called the step on the sides was actually not a step at all, but specifically designed as a mud flat to stop that from happening. I just never thought about it in those terms before (maybe I’m just behind the curve on that??).
“1940- Bantam prototype #1 during testing at Camp Holabird Quartermaster Depot.”

The engine was rebuilt and has less than a thousand miles on it. She rolls on sixteen inch tires and wheels. The wiring has a new style fuse panel and I added the signal lights.

Wed. Sept. 28th: We Made It Home Safely
October 1, 2016 • CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: 2016-Secret-Caravan-NM-TX-Trip. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
The Stong Secret Caravan is in the books… What a trip! After driving 4,781 miles we’ve returned home. Half our trip was completed in the last three days … three long days (see maps below). Rosemary, who was feeling better for a while on Friday, relapsed in the afternoon after eating some food. She was once again convinced she was dying. I’m sure she’ll be her old, ornery self soon enough.
Nothing much to report from today’s final leg of the trip. Now that I’m back, I’ll rest a day or two, and then it’s time to begin work on Rusty. I also need to hunt down a scatter shield for Biscuit and begin marketing SLAG in ernest.
The trip down started September 16th and lasted until the afternoon of September 28th:
The trip back lasted from the afternoon of September 28th to midnight of September 30th. Not bad speed for traveling in a motorhome (not a whole lot of fun either):

“1979 jeep DJ5G postal jeep.
Runs good, new factory rebuilt carburetor, rebuilt tranny, newer heavy duty battery.
$45. Service manual included.
This would be a great project for someone who likes to rebuild old vehicles. It runs now, just renew a few accessories and you have a great unusual vehicle!
Some minor rust on body.
This is 37 years old. It was built to drive city streets delivering mail, so top speed is about 45-50.
It drives great on flat; hills, not so much. It can do them, but very slowly, and it doesn’t like them! It has some play in the steering wheel, and due to sitting, the brakes aren’t up to par, but my mechanic says that is normal for sitting so long without being driven, and they should do fine after driving a bit.
Odometer and speedometer don’t work: it’s a cable issue.
Estimate @ 34K.
Has the tray installed right now. I could remove if you prefer.
One seat, not original (much more comfy!)I found the original passenger seat, included
New radio/CD player
These photos are a bit old, but vehicle looks the same, a bit of fading on paint, but otherwise, it is EXACTLY as represented and written description.
Terms are cash only. No Shipping, you must pick it up.”
