1940 Bantam BRC Photo eBay

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is a great press release photo taken a little more than a week after the Bantam arrived at Holabird for testing. Thanks to Steve for finding it.

One thing I noticed about the photo. See how the dirt from behind the front fender was thrown onto the side of the jeep. I’m wondering if the thing we’ve called the step on the sides was actually not a step at all, but specifically designed as a mud flat to stop that from happening. I just never thought about it in those terms before (maybe I’m just behind the curve on that??).

“1940- Bantam prototype #1 during testing at Camp Holabird Quartermaster Depot.”

1945 GPW Fortuna, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.

It’s a project.

“This is a military Ford jeep. The tub is a reproduction and most of the running gear is all original. The frame is painted olive drab green. This jeep is pretty close to being all stock with the exception of the paint,rollbar and bumpers. I have a spare tranny, front & rear axles to through in. The engine was rebuilt and has less than a thousand miles on it. She rolls on sixteen inch tires and wheels. The wiring has a new style fuse panel and I added the signal lights. All gages work except the gas gage, which only needs a sending unit. Minor scratches in the paint, no rust to speak of. This Jeep is fun to poke around in. It has always been stored in the garage since I braught her back to life. ”
