This is a reserve auction for a 1942 Willys MB, serial number MB127011, date of delivery 11 March 1942. This Jeep was manufactured with a limited number of Jeeps after Willys started manufacturing WWII Jeeps with the "pressed grille" sheet metal type of front grille, (only 1202 by serial number). The earlier front grilles were the "slat grille" type (the last slat grille serial number was MB125809). This MB is a motorpool type restoration. When the Jeep was obtained by a prior owner there was already a mixture of MB and GPW parts on it. It is suspected that it was used on base at Camp Shelby, MS for years where the mixture of parts originated during on-base maintenance. The hood & bumper markings are in honor of the 124th Infantry Division (Dixie Division). The frame serial number is orginial. The glove box data plates are reproductions made by Robert de Ruyler at Dataplates4U.com. The T84 transmission, transfer case and rear axle are GPW componets. The orginial body was so shot that it was replaced with a repro body. The transmission and transfer case have been rebuilt and runs great. All bearings have been replaced in the axles as well as new brake cylinders, brake lines and brake shoes. The engine is a 1946 CJ2a L134 flat head that has also been rebuilt and runs great. The radiator is a CJ2a radiator. Included with the Jeep are, repro cloth top & frame, 5 repro combat wheels and tires, period dated gas can, shovel & axe, jack and tow rope.
