1953 Willys-Overland Model MD (M38A1) Army Jeep For Sale.

Jeep was purchased in 2000, engine rebuilt in 2003 and garage stored since 2006. Originally planned for a restoration, as jeep had been converted to 12-volt electrical prior to purchase. Military version of venerable F-Head engine was professionally rebuilt in 2003 with hardened valve seals for today’s unleaded gasoline and rebuilt military carburetor. The dual-pane windshield is intact without cracks and body is solid (though previous owner tack-welded a sheet of metal on the rear floor of body tub). Extra parts come with the jeep, including various 24-volt electrical system parts (generator, starter, voltage regulator), Top-bow for roof, various small parts including extra mechanical fuel/vacuum pump, jerry can and spare tire mounts.

Tonka Jeep Limited Restoration and Parts in Minneapolis, MN

• CATEGORIES: Features, Website This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Please check the comments about this service. Some readers have encountered issues with Tonka Jeep.

Wally wrote me the other day to share information about a vintage jeep restoration and parts shop called Tonka Jeep Limited. The business has only been opened since 2012, however their service guy has more than 40 years experience working on jeeps. You can learn more about the company via the website or the Facebook page.

Tonka Jeep Limited started in 2012, following twenty-five years of being a vintage Jeep owner as a hobby. Our product and service offerings cover all Jeep and Jeep variants (Jeepster, Truck & Wagon) from 1941-1955. We’ve grown steadily, by offering hard to find original parts, NOS, as well as all reproduction parts. Along with parts, we offer complete rebuild services on all mechanical components. Restoration services are offered exclusively on both civilian and military Jeeps. Parts can be ordered through our website, or by email inquiry. Our means of contact is unique, as we don’t take phone calls, we found email contact to be faster and a more efficient way to service our clientele; our response times are usually same day, however, twenty-four hours is standard. Many have asked if we have a shop or store to come by and visit; for now no, but of course if you want to pick-up parts, we’ll gladly direct you to one of two locations, where inventory is stored.

Our website is: tonkajeepltd.com and email address for questions and ordering is; sales@tonkajeepltd.com

Here’s a photo of their promotional and work jeep, a 1943 GPW:

The photo is of the owner, after an all day product shoot for the website; the back-drop is a hood from a 1950 6 cylinder Station Wagon in the original Jamaica Green and yes, it is in excellent condition and for sale.

1942 GPW from the 51st Defense Battalion Rescued

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

From this:

To this:
1942-gpw-chris4

This 1942 GPW was listed for $500 in May of 2012 in Azusa, California. It was quickly purchased and sent to England where Chris got a hold of it and transformed it back into an original looking GPW. An antiques dealer in old garden classics, he seems to know a few things about old jeeps, too. He’s forwarded some photos so we can see the before and after pics.

Chris was wondering if anyone was familiar with the 51st Defense Battalion? I found this link and this link, but if anyone has additional information, he’d like to know more.

Here is the original ad:
“$500 OBF
This is a Ford produced version of the Willys MB “Jeep”
Forced to Sell. Neighborhood Association says it can no longer stay parked under our carport.
No current tags. It’s been on a CA DMV NON OP since the 90s.
Body in fairly good shape. Looks like it was never repainted. Military marking on left side of body:
51st D.B.
Not Running. Missing starter. Bad Water pump.
Has tow bar.”
