UPDATE: Was $18,999. **SOLD**
(08/31/2010) This “mint” condition MB has an unusual cross member underneath the grille. It also sports what appear to be warn hubs. I’d review this closely.
“This mint condition 1943 Willy MB military US Army vehicle is for sale, new roof, a must see vehicle, this is a true collectors item, travels 65 MPH, 60 HP, weight 2453 lbs, 132 inches long, fuel tank holds 15 gallons of gasoline, get about 20 miles per gallon, original cost was $739, email your questions, thanks”
Hmmm . . . looks to me like the body has been extended by at least 8 inches. There’s an aweful amount of space between the axe head and the rear wheel opening. Also, the canvas top doesn’t slope down as much. The owner is probably a big guy who needed lots of leg room.
You know, that inlet does look longer than normal .. Good catch!
Nice emergency brake, was that wartime issue?
Probably hard to mount on the dash …
65 MPH?
65MPH down a steep grade 🙂
Lots of discussion about this one on G503.com.Wrong body side and corner handles.They only have one mount bolt at each end,should be two.Experts on G503 basically wondered what the owner was using to think this is worth $29,000.
Maybe spent it on beer?
Do you have that link handy? I’d like to direct readers there so they can learn more (well, and me too!)
Thanks
