1943 Willys MB. Restoration by previous owner- only a few small details left for me and my son to finish. Bumper numbers were painted by previous owner in honor of his father, a WWII veteran who served with the 907th Glider Field Artillery, 101st AB |
Notes/Comments: |
Frame matches original data plates. Hood registration number is an estimate. Currently has a CJ-2 engine, and T-90 transmission. Original parts include four combat wheels, 6 volt system, seats, gas tank, and gauges (except temp gauge). Repainted in Gelespi Early War Green #319. Future plans are to find a 1943 engine and tranmission, add a decapitation device, install a weapon rack to the windshield, and possibly add a crew serve weapon to the back. The bumper numbers were painted by the previous owner I purchased from, in honor of his father, a WWII veteran who served with the 907th Glider Field Artillery, 101st Airborne Division. |
