"A scarred fighter in good shape."

Description

A Jeep that looks and feels like it came directly from the military. It has been well cared for, but it is scarred as a fighter. It operates smoothly and maintains proper engine temperature and oil pressure. The three-speed gearbox and clutch function well. The Jeep also has a front freewheel hub. It comes with a number of books on Jeep and its maintenance. There are also a number of new and used spare parts supplied. The most fascinating aspect, however, is the smoke generator, which was employed in a critical position to create a "fog curtain" so that the enemy did not know where the Jeep or the crew were. As an aside, the vendor revealed that the smoke generator was turned up by a former owner at a party. Due to the tremendous smoke, it took many hours for them to find it again. You may not need to refuel completely the next time, and you should also notify the rescue service and potentially the airline so that key social functions are not jeopardized.

    What you might call interior design is in good shape. The remainder has been brush-painted

  • Exterior condition:

    It's been through some wartime action, is somewhat dented, and has some paint improvements, but it still looks tough. There is also a canvas chapel.

  • General condition:

    A Jeep that appears to have come straight from the military. It has been well taken care of, however it does have minor bruises.

Facts about the model

De byggdes 1941-1945. Både Willys Overland (MB) och Ford (GPW) byggde denna lätta terrängående bil för att kunna användas av de allierade under andra världskriget. Närmare 360 000 exemplar byggdes av Willys MB och c:a 278 000 exemplar fick Ford ut ur sina fabriker. De är fyrhjulsdrivna med en treväxlad låda utrustad med hög och lågväxel.
Sommaren 1940 fick American Bantam och Willys Overland förfrågan från de amerikanska myndigheterna om de på 49 dagar kunde ta fram en fungerande prototyp samt att på 75 dagar ta fram 70 testbilar. American Bantam vann kontraktet men hade så dålig ekonomi och svaga resurser så att Willys Overland fick bli leverantör av den lätta terrängbilen. Ford hade på ett senare stadie givit sig in i leken och fick hösten 1941 också börja tillverka den på grund av Willys leveransproblem.
Efter kriget såldes många via överskottslager runt om i världen. I Sverige användes de många gånger som bärgningsfordon, brandbilar och inom jordbruket.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
