Our Willy's MB Jeep
We are also in the process of restoring our Willy's MB Jeep. When complete, it will look like the Jeeps used by the 6th U.S. Cavalry in 1945, when the regiment served as General George S. Patton's Army Information Service for the Third Army.
Work includes a full tune-up with new spark plugs, carburetor, battery, air, oil, and fuel filters, a cleanup of the gas tank, wiring, shocks, and an overhaul of the transmission.
Total Cost is $2,000.
Please help us restore this treasure for all of the public to enjoy!
