Seller's Description
In June 1940, with World War II on the horizon, the U.S. Army solicited bids from 135 automakers for a 1/4 ton "light reconnaissance vehicle" tailored to Army specifications. Only three companies responded — Bantam, Willys, and Ford — but, within a year's time they collectively produced the template for the vehicle known worldwide as the "jeep".
Willys-Overland delivered the prototype "Quad" (named for the 4x4 system it featured), to the U.S. Army on Armistice Day (Veteran's Day), November of 1940. The design was completed in a remarkable 75 days.
We are pleased to bring to market this 1944 Jeep Willys fully restored.
The Jeep has been completely rebuild from the ground up, everything has been checked, reconditioned or replaced. The body is completely original but it comes with a new floor, new guards, bonnet bumper bar and grill. Braked and master cylinder have been overhauled. The gearbox and and transfer case have been overhauled. New starter motor changed to 12 Volt for more reliability. New fuel lines and also new brakes line. Recently serviced.
It comes with the axe, shovel and Gerry can.
