Several years ago I came a cross a WW ll "survivor Jeep" in Colorado! Fellow who owned it's father had bought it from military surplus the moment he was mustered out of the Army after the end of the war. Still original, still had the original military markings and numbers, only a few hundred miles on it! Complete with issued shovel and ax! His dad and now he have maintained it original and used it only for parades and such since 1945! It's kept in a nice, dry building. He started it up for me, purred like a kitten! That Jeep has to be worth a lot of money now! A LOT!
Great restoration and excellent close-up views! I'll use this as a guide for detailing the Tamiya 1/35 scale Willys MB model kit I'm building. Thank you. Wright Flyer, USAF (1968-1972).
Very nice, all the parts and design look the same as my father's but we have an electrical box just right under the toolbox i.e at the passenger side which I don't have the knowledge about its functionality.
The motor is grossly under powered, the transmission has bushings instead of bearing and the brakes are scary at best, otherwise I love them. I've had several.
I agree with you about the weak transmission and pathetic brakes, but I don't find the engine to be so much under powered as more too low geared, making the engine rev too much at normal highway speeds. A fun car, for sure, but not a 'daily driver'.
Lamento, mas esse Jeep nao esta original, a comecar pelos parafusos. Um restauro numa viatura dessas sem os parafusos originais que estao disponiveis para compra nos USA retira logo 35% do valor da viatura. Nem vou falar do resto.
