Willys MB 308698
PURCHASED AND SHIPPED TO AUSTRALIA DURING THE WAR. DASH PLATE AND CHASSIS NUMBERS MATCH BUT ENGINE HAS BEEN CHANGED AND REPLACED WITH A VERY EARLY PRODUCTION UNIT. VEHICLE IS VERY COMPLETE, UNMOLESTED AND ORIGINAL AND I BELIEVE THAT THE BODY HAD NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM CHASSIS UNTIL I PURCHASED IT 20 YEARS AGO FROM A LOCAL RANCH WHERE IT HAD RESTED IN A SHED FOR AT LEAST 25 YEARS BEFORE THAT. I HAVE STARTED A FULL RESTORATION AND HOPE THAT IT WILL BE FINISHED BY 2012.
