Looking for Burma Jeeps for the 2016 Convention!

Post by JOHNJRV » Thu Oct 08, 2015 7:05 am

Don Gomes (Central Valley VP from the MVCC) is trying to organize a GTB display at the 2016 Convention! He is restoring his GTBS Bomb truck which will be there as will Paul Lubker's GTB Cargo which is also restored! Don would like to put up a large display of GTB's if possible. So if have one or know of someone that has one PLEASE contact Don Gomes at (209)765-1273!!!

In the picture below the GTB nearest you is the one Don is working on right now!

Thank you!

John, Found a couple of them for sale off the Gilroy end of 152 a couple years back. They may still be there if your looking.

Paul Lubker bought those 2 about 10 years ago I think.

I have a GTB (or two) I could bring, except I'm already planning on bringing two or three Holden ambulance jeeps and possibly a DUKW. If we can work out the transport issue, I could also bring one of my GTBs. It's becoming a logistical nightmare... John or Dave B, is there anything being set up for large/multiple vehicle transport? One suggestion I've heard has been to stage vehicles locally during the week before the convention. Is there any place, such as an MVCC member's property available near the convention site?

By the way, I really don't think of my GTB as a PUG... I know they're so ugly they're cute, but a Pug with 20" wheels and more horsepower than a G506?
