UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

This looks very restorable.

“This M5 generator was built for the US Army in World War II, by the Hobart manufacturing Company.  It is built on intergrated steel skids. The generator has a four cylinder ZXB Hercules engine.  From online research, this engine was sometimes used in the Willys Overland Jeep.  The output of the generator set can be field set for either single or three phase operation.  The output is rated at three kilowatts.  This unit has sat for many years, but I believe can be rebuilt to operate correctly, and could be used as a functioning display.  Just to make clear, the unit does not run at this time.  This unit is rare today, and from research, provided electrical power for the BOFERS anti-aircraft gun setups in WWII. I have found similar generators for you to look at on you tube, but I have not been able to download a link due to ebay rules. Type in M5 generator on the you tube search bar.”

The King and the Whirly Bird Book on eBay

The King and the Whirly Bird was written by Mabel Watts in 1969. It’s supposed to include a reference/picture to the “royal jeep”. Whether there really is a jeep, it’s a cute sounding book.

“This hardcover book was writtten by Mabel Watts, illustrated by Harold Berson. Published by Parents’ Magazine Press, copyright 1969.

Once there was a king who had a wonderful kind of flying machine called a whirlybird. He had a pilot named Joe who could fly the machine, but the king would not use the machine at all. “Birds fly. I’m not a bird!” said the king. He had to travel a lot so he used the coach or rode the stallion. He even tried the rickety old royal train, and the old steamship, and finally the royal jeep. None of those methods of travel worked very well. Finally, Joe the pilot convinced the king to try the whirlybird. “This is the way to travel! The whirlybird is the best!” said the king.

Excellent condition.”

1945 MB Thomasville, GA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

(08/22/2012) This runs and drives, but has extreme makeover body steps!

“This is a 1945 Willys MB Jeep.  Its your chance to own a rare piece of WWII history at a cheap price.  I have set the RESERVE LOW. 

The jeep has been tagged in GA but there is no Title. GA will not issue title for a vehicle this old.  Purchaser will get bill of sale and copy of my registration and your state will do what ever they do, some will issue title and not sure about others.

Here is what I know!  The jeep is in ok shape for it being 68 years old.  It runs and drives which is good compared to most.  I found this in a barn and the previous owner did not know it was a WWII jeep.  This is what I did to it to get it running and driveable a couple years ago.  Distributor, plug wires,clutch, master cyclinder, front & rear wheel cyc, brake lines, plugs.  This jeep still turns heads of anyone driving by in its condition.

 Now, Jeep is missing some of its original parts, but it still has some on there.  It does not have a gas tank, I have a temperary one in the back now so I can run it.  The seat are not the correct MB seats, & the windshield is from a later model willys(no glass). As you can see in the pics some one has put some sheet metal over the rear fender tool boxes- im sure to cover the small rust holes in there.  Also they put it on the side steps. It can easily be removed by someone who can do meatl work- I cant!  I never had a chance to go thru the transmission. It will stick in third gear every now and then but has never affected me driving up & down road.  data plate on dash are missing, but frame tag is intack.”
