Buying an

Ex-army Vehicle

The US Army Willys and Ford 'Jeeps' are a great vehicle to own and are often the first ex-army vehicle that many military hobbyists get to buy. Their relatively small size means that they'll fit in a single garage and the cost of those all-important spares is not too high. Interest in military vehicles is as high as it's ever been and the demand for spares and accessories means that just about every part is available and easy to find thanks to the web.

The side valve power plant, the 2.2 litre, 4 cylinder 'Go-Devil' engine is (comparatively) economical and like the rest of the jeep is easy to fix. Compared to a modern car, the jeep is simplicity itself to work on as everything was designed for ease of access and replacement. There's loads of room in the engine bay, you can crawl underneath it to fix things and as long as you are a reasonable competent home mechanic or hobbyist, you'll find that there are not many jobs that you can't cope with.

What are they like to drive?

In a word fun! When you drive one, you realise how insulated from the outside world you are in a modern vehicle. With the hood and windscreen down, it feels more like you are sitting on top of the vehicle rather than in it.

The jeep is very 'hands on' and needs input all the time. It lets you know this with a level of feedback that you just don't get in a power steering, air conditioned, seat-cushioned sound-proofed modern car. You get in, start the engine (by pushing a button with your foot) and after releasing the handbrake (in the dash) you start off in first gear (where second is usually!). You get road noise from the tyres, the engine makes a loud whining sound, everything vibrates and rattles and you feel every bump and pothole - but it's great!

The engine runs fine, the gearbox and transfer box appear to function as they should. It does look like there is some original markings under the years of paint. The vehicle will be sold with all documents (US Title) and the (customs proof of payment) C&E 386 to prove that all duties have been paid.

This is a very nice accurate depiction of an SAS jeep as seen in the North African campaigns of 1940-43.

The jeep is a Ford, 1942, it has many complete period accessories including a 30 cal (gas firing gun) a drivers mounted (gas firing) Bren gun and a pair of Vickers K guns(repro). War time dated jerry cans, theodolite, period tent, shovel etc.

Willy's/Ford Jeep - The first Jeeps to arrive in the North African theatre were those issued to Stirling's SAS (which had relied on LRDG transport until they were equipped with their own Jeeps in early 1942). After the SAS had to abandon some Jeeps in the desert, these were salvaged and repaired by LRDG patrols; soon after, all patrols were equipped with their own Jeeps as replacements for the 15cwt Chevrolets. The legendary desert performance and reliability of the Jeeps made them ideal for LRDG patrols. Some of LRDG's Jeeps were later used in the Balkan and in Italy (where the patrol trucks were of little use).
In contrast to all the other vehicles, the Jeeps required very few modifications to be fit for desert use;

The jeeps were stripped of all non-essential parts including the windscreen, most of the radiator grille bars and even sometimes the front bumper to increase the effective load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Thus the large amount of fuel and water needed for fast long-range raids could be carried avoiding the need for slower support vehicles. A water condensing unit was fitted to the front to reduce loss from the radiator which would otherwise have had to be topped up from the limited drinking water supplies. The jeeps also carried sand mats, metal wheel channels, radio equipment and large quantities of ammunition.

The jeeps were heavily armed with combinations of both Browning and Vickers K machine guns. The ex-aircraft Vickers weapons were generally mounted in pairs and a total of up to five machine guns were carried on some vehicles. The effectiveness of this armament firing a mix of ball, armour-piercing and tracer shells can be judged from one assault on an airfield where 12 aircraft were destroyed in a five minute raid. With all guns blazing a single SAS jeep could deliver an impressive 5000 rounds per minute! The net result was that over 400 aircraft had been destroyed on the ground by November 1942.

comments I have a M151 MUTT. THis is the very first version, not the A1 or A2. Jeep was restored completely and repainted the drab green with all stars and decals and parked under a barn with the rear end sitting out. There for the rear ends paint is flaking and the front still looks like it was sprayed yesterday. The seats are in decent shape. Engine and transmission work as they are supposed to. It has the standard 4speed transmission and the single stage 4x4. It was also rustproofed by a company in philly. The crossmembers under the jeep are in very good shape and have very light rust. This jeep has NEVER been cut and rewelded. The panels are straight with no dents or rust. Floor pans have no rust. Battery box has no rust. Wiring is in decent shape for how old it is.Rear end isindependent suspension similar to the VW beatle. Price is somewhat negotiable but this jeep only needs alil paint to be show quality. NO low ballers. Call or text. John. (830) 534-5184 possible trade for Pontiac Solstice.

SAS Jeep

SAS Jeep - Three Vickers 'K's and a Browning M2A1 gave the jeep a lot of punch. Its role was to attack enemy airfields at night, often after a desert journey of hundreds of miles - hence the large amount of extra water and petrol carried. The cylinder on the front is a condenser which allowed water boiling over from the radiator to be re-used.

How did the jeep get its name?

The origins of the name jeep have been argued about pretty much since the vehicle appeared and are happilly still as obscure as ever. The top theories in no particular order are:

A contraction of the initials 'GP' from General Purpose although Ford say that 'G' stood for Government and 'P' for the wheelbase.

Derived from the ubiquitous character in the popular Popeye cartoons, Eugene the jeep was a happy little character from the cartoons of E C Segar.

Eugene was given to Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl by her Uncle Ben in 1936. He could appear and disappear at will, tell the future and travel in the fourth dimension...

Willys is pronounced as ' willis - not ' willies' ! and they have Just Enough Essential Parts

History of the
jeep
Trademark

Willys-Overland trademarked the word jeep after World War II and it passed to the Kaiser corporation in 1953 when Kaiser Motors bought out Willys-Overland and changed the name to Willys Motor Company. Willys changed name again in 1963 to Kaiser-jeep Corporation.

The Willys name was dropped altogether in 1965 by Kaisers who went on to become the American Motors Corporation in 1970. In 1987 the jeep trademark passed to the Chrysler Corporation and finally to DaimlerChrysler AG following the buyout of Chryslers by the Stuttgart, Germany based outfit in 1998. Jeep® is now a registered trademark of Chrysler.

 
ww2 jeep

A quick history of the jeep.

The jeep was produced in response to a 1940 tender request for an initial 70 vehicles by the US Army Quartermaster corps. The companies tendering were required to produce a prototype four wheel drive quarter ton payload vehicle weighing less than 1300 pounds within an incredible 49 days.

The American Bantam Car and Willys Overland Inc were the only two of the 135 invited companies to respond and 47 days after tendering, Bantam delivered their prototype to the army for testing. Willys in the meantime had requested an extension to 120 days due to delivery issues with axle parts and thus, along with observers from Ford, had a golden opportunity to view the early testing of the Bantam.

The Bantam tested out reasonably well, but reservations were expressed about its power as well as the ability of the Bantam Co to supply the number of vehicles that would be required by the army following the initial small batches.

The test Bantam was followed in late 1940 with the delivery of the first Willys Quad on 13th November and ten days later with the prototype Ford Pygmy. The Willys was some 500lbs heavier than the Bantam but outperformed it thanks to the Quads powerful 'Go Devil' 60 horsepower engine. Performance on the Ford model was good as well so the army decided to order 500 of each model for field testing...the rest is history...
