MB 129082

Fairly complete early MB “BRT” that was produced just immediate post-slat grill. Has WILLYS embossed on rear panel and has a flat top stamped grill. This MB still has its original gauges to include an early “GAS“ marked fuel gauge and an early Autolite type 1 speedometer. It also still has it’s early Tobe 1107G “hinged” radio noise filterette and a “fat” rear drive shaft installed.  Engine is out of a CJ2A…so I’ll be looking for a properly dated MB engine in the mid MB-131XXX range. This jeep has been in the same family since the early 1950’s and was used around the farm in south-west Kansas. I hope to one day restore this MB to as close to factory correct as possible.
