A very nice example of a 1942 Willy's MB Jeep. I purchased this Jeep recently from a nice gentleman in Virginia. He was the third owner. This vehicle came from an Army base in Virginia. The serial number is 260184 and was built in Akron Ohio. It was delivered to the military on 8-3-42. The previous owner did some work on it including a new 6V electrical system including a new wiring harness, battery, re-built generator and starter motor. A new fuel system including, gas tank, float valve,gas line and fuel filter, solex carburetor, choke and throttle lines. A new steering wheel worn gear and new brake system including master cylinder, lines and brake assemblies. Also, a new water pump and radiator hoses. A new Beachwood canvas top and door side mud flaps. A new replacement muffler and exhaust pipe. Additionally, new tires and tubes.On Jul-17-15 at 05:36:27 PDT, seller added the following information: After reviewing the previous owners information, he was the second private owner I am the third. The second owner purchased the jeep from an estate of an Army Colonel from West Virginia. The tub is original, the correct engine appears to be original as well.On Jul-21-15 at 05:45:12 PDT, seller added the following information: I have been able to locate the correct matching serial number on the frame rail. I have not been able to locate any serial numbers on the block. Though it appears to be correct and has obviously been in place for a very long time. I have also included photos of the fire extinguisher and oil can in the engine bay.
