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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1795.

Glenn found this rare item. I don’t know much about the V4s that power these rigs.Might be an interesting motor to check out.  I can’t tell if this is a variant of the Model F or a Model G. You can learn more about the Zamboni/jeep relationship here.

“1964 Zamboni ice-resurfacer, needs TLC, runs, goes, manuals included. These machines were made on a Jeep running gear. Dana front and rears, 3 speed manual with spicer transfer case, drive shafts etc. Will consider parting out if sale of whole machine doesn’t take place. Has V-4 air cooled motor that runs great and has propane setup. Would make a great lumber mill power plant.”

MB Jeep Desk on eBay

UPDATE: This has been relisted on eBay

(11/15/2013) Zack spotted this unusual find: A MB Desk. I could very easily see myself writing at such a desk. I think I’m gonna have to build a version of it.

“This Jeep Desk is modeled from a WW 2 Willys. It has a real grill, headlight buckets, black out lights and dash plaque. The paint is authentic Lusterless Olive Drab. The invasion star is painted with a flat white. The fenders are an exact copy and are made of wood. The hood is also an exact copy but made of metal.”
