Mr Charles *couldn't care less

Well, it is the History channel...

Mr Charles....only a douchebag would like it when someone's being rude....

gilbert martinez *couldn't care less

It came off more as "yeah, yeah I know this already" to me. The history of the Jeep is pretty well known by gear heads, even the Popeye's rumor. Of course on the show everybody has to act like they're surprised with new info all the time.

They would drive over him, bury the body and take the jeep

miketheg3 exactly and that's what kills me on the inside

HAHA yess

Nah I got the impression he already knew all that shit and just didn't wanna play the reality show nonsense. Imagine having someone try to tutor you on shit you've known for years, it's like 'yeah, ok'

He probably knew ten fold more than Rick. Rick is wrong in his facts more often than not. But what do you do, shrug your shoulders and think silly Rick, let him talk, make a sale. As for the word jeep... I always heard it comes from G.P. - an abbreviation meaning general purpose.

Good thing because that's so far from being an mb Willys 1944 the so called expert has no clue It's an after market body Change frame and running gear Change grille Lol rick just got taken for 20k on a 5 maybe 7 k jeep if you find a guy that has no clue

When someone mispronounces John Willys' last name as "Willy's" instead of saying Willys they shouldn't be trying to give Willys history lessons anyway. The man's name was _Willys_ pronounced same as Bruce Willis. -smh

@@KowboyUSA well, they're just reading a script. Not like these guys actually know 90% of the crap they say off the top of their heads.

it is a marines jeep, but the army commissioned the jeep concepts and selected the bantam prototype. It will always be a army jeep haha

Juanscum381 I always though that too

we really got a good amount of money for it. I've seen better for less

paul chandler Exactly. Rick must really love "Willie's" to pay that much.

Exactly, was shocked too how naive these guys are, in Philipines they copy and manufacture these jeeps in the smallest detail, incl the tags......

Yeah he just wants to sell his jeep that's so far from being a willys mb it's laughable

Salute it and get in

Not really, I have one and they were basically identical from 42 to 45 so unless you look at the builders plates you can't really tell. Some were built by Willys and some by Ford - (MB vs GPW). GPW has the Ford logo stamped on most of the parts, but again no real difference among the years. Seller got a pretty good price considering the postwar engine.

Auctions cost money...

Gotta frame it...

Gotta find the right buyer...

Taking a huge risk

Its gonna sit around.....

Get some extra information on it. And it is hard to tell some years from others.

I think is a way to gauge the owners knowledge on what they have. I've seen guys selling old Jeep and making outrageous claims like, this WWII jeep served in the Pacific etc... And with one look I can tell it's a few different post war Jeep's stuck together.

I've never in my life have had an expert ask me what do you have here. He/She right off the bat gave me a damn near accurate description and assessment of what I had. And market value. That's what I'm used to.

Jose GARCIA you can't tell the age of these just by 5 second look! Also this is a famous car guy rick doesn't even know him the network hires and pays the experts

John Jenks. Rick said it was his buddy. So obviously he knows him or Rick is lying.

this joke has gone too far

American Bantam engineers had been in contact with the U.S. Army for years prior to WW2 trying to convince them of the need for a light, off road capable, staff and recon vehicle. The Army tested Bantam passenger cars for the purpose in the late 1930s. After several attempts by Bantam to entice the Army and much to their surprise, Ordnance put out an open bid in late 1940 to dozens of manufacturers to build just such vehicles 'on spec' and to deliver four wheel drive prototypes of vehicles (then considered to be) impossibly light while having unlikely capabilities of entrance, egress from obstacles, durability, etcetera. Nothing like it had been built before. Bantam's 'Old Number One' was delivered in October of 1940, the only prototype to be delivered on time and the closest to making the ridiculously stringent specifications set out in the bid. Willys delivered their 'Quad' prototype within a couple of weeks, Ford's 'Blitz Buggy' came a month later. The vehicles were tested, evaluated, tortured, abused, resulting in recommendations being made by Ordnance for revisions, _blueprints being shared among potential contractors,_ and small contracts (1,500 each) being awarded to Bantam, Willys Overland, and Ford for revised models to be further tested, evaluated, abused. The 'pre standard' models were Bantam BRC (Bantam Reconnaissance Car), Willys MA (Military, Second Contract) and Ford GP (Government, 80" wheelbase (Ford internal code)). All tested well, eventually Willys Overland won the bid for _Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4X4, G503_ with Ford named as subcontractor. By war's end, Willys would build over 360,000 of the standard MB (Military, Second Contract) while Ford built over 280,000 of their model GPW (Government, 80" Wheelbase, (built to) Willys pattern. Bantam did get the subcontract to build Bantam T3 trailers for the G503. The primary contract for 1/4 ton 'Jeep' trailers had also gone to Willys for their MB-T.

It's so far from being a mb it made me laugh It's 98% cj painted green lol he just paid about 15k over the value

It's the angle of the camera and how the sun was glaring off them.

If they were driving on a clean pavement after the test run, then the tires would look more cleaner.

😂😂😂

That's exactly how it works.

Those would be 'pre standard' Bantam BRC, Ford GP, Willys MA, or perhaps the prototypes with 'quad steer'. The absolute 'Holy Grail" would be the long lost original prototype, American Bantam's 'Old Number One', that was driven from Butler, PA, to Fort Holabird for testing and evaluation in October of 1940.

More likely they were M151 vehicles.

@@fvrs3411 Mark Ruffalo is indeed a splendid actor.

Sandeep Pillai he sure is, Spotlight might be his best work

I noticed it Also .i used to work for film industry.we called it continuity.

Same

I thought so but glad I saw someone say it ❤️ wasn’t sure because a lot of the trees are gone now

Because you can refurbish the original parts and still have it be "all original". As long as you have the original serial numbered parts, and period correct restorations...you can call it "all original". It wouldn't be reasonable to expect every single part from the factory to still be present and in working order...so there is some leeway as far as replacements.

original parts oem ones

If only their information was not so flawed.

They fly well enough but land poorly.

And a handjob was a nickel.

He is ashamed to after his "deals."

Scott Street it was more than a fair price for sure

hell yeah u have the right idea, sounds fun

If you want let me know

Bantam was awarded only small contracts for 'pre standard' vehicles that were tested / evaluated. The last of these was expanded a bit to produce vehicles for Lend Lease partners. The contract for _Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4X4, G503_ was awarded to Willys Overland in 1941 with Ford as subcontractor.
