A good car. I love old cars to my heart. Those who designed and built them are truly creative and have excelled and succeeded in their work. A thousand thanks to them.

An amazing example! My first car when I was 17 in 1965. Unfortunately I sold it but no car since, including a Porsche 911, has ever lived up to the fun I had in the Jeep.

Simple to operate, no electronic junk, and most of all, RELIABLE!!!Something that the big three haven't learn yet!!!

I love the simplicity but absolute functionality of the MBs and GPWs. So cool!

I 'll be with jeep to life is my favorite veicle.

Extraordinary piece of American ingenuity. I would love to have a classic like this. Congratulations and thanks for sharing the video

I’m very impressed how well it was designed and how much for thought went into it!!!! I love it!!!

beautiful... I have a complete 42.. need to get it back up someday.. My pop had one when I was a kid, many memories in those things..

Great MB! Reminds me of a '43 GPW I had for many years and was my first motor vehicle.

These were built in Sthelens. During the war, in a factory on Fleet lane. The factory floor was slightly sloped so they could be pushed down the line. I worked in that factory after the war and you could see the odd reminder of them being there.

Great video, Thank You! When I was a young kid my Dad had a ‘47 CJ2A, and I always watched the series “Rat Patrol” with Christopher George each week. I always wondered how many Jeeps were tore up during that series. Christopher George actually sustained a life long injury when he was in a Jeep that rolled over during filming in 1966-67, and when he passed away years ago his death was attributed to that injury. Good Day Everyone!

Well-done Sir! As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video. ~M~

What a beautiful piece of American history, and an awesome testimony to American ingenuity. I long for the days when this was considered "high tech". They just don't make them like this any more. Thank you for the guided tour.

Thank you so much for uploading this Video. It's great stuff for building an exact model of this beautiful car. Best regards from Germany, Frank.

Nice Jeep. I’ve owned and restored two of these that were made in 1945 and I restored them to factory original condition, wiring, fuel tank, combat wheels, radio, every detail back to original and nothing modern…..except the battery, it’s common for MV owners that have these old 6 volt systems to install an 8 volt battery so it helps the starter have a little more power, it helps in cold environments and the voltage regulator can be adjusted charge an 8 volt battery. Please remember that when you restore the radio, the radio case is a different OD green color called Communication Corps green and it’s a crinkle type finish. There’s a vintage radio vendor that sells things online and they sold the paint in a spray can but you have to use it properly, don’t apply numerous coats or it won’t look right. If you can’t find the paint, you can go to your local Harley Davidson dealership and buy a can of their black crinkle paint then once you paint the radio case with it and it dries well, apply a single coat of the right OD green over it. These days, MD Juan makes some excellent reproduction parts but there are some better quality reproductions out there that you may prefer. I bought most of my parts from Ron Fitzpatrick parts out of Oregon and he sells a beautiful Italian made fuel tank which I highly recommend. If you’ve ever thought about owning and restoring one of these, it’s really not that difficult to do. Using flat paints is very forgiving compared to high gloss automotive paints. I would often buy a case (6 cans) of spray paint from RAPCO parts and as I restored various parts over time, I’d paint them as I assembled each section. Even using ‘rattle can’ spray cans is fine for larger sections like the hood or body panels. I’d buy a gallon of the paint and use it for the body and underbody areas with a cheap spray gun from Harbor Freight. The paints are still very cheap compared to automotive paints, a gallon of 314 OD green is only $45. And the spray cans have the same paint inside. With MD Juan, you can even buy a complete Jeep kit that only needs the engine and drive train so the options are wide with working on these, just depends on what you want and how much you’re willing to spend. Some prefer to use only US made original parts which is possible but insanely expensive so most of us compromise. I hate it when someone restores a WWII jeep but when they open the hood, it’s all civilian parts, crappy wiring and a 12 volt system. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten to the engine yet but to say that the Jeep is restored and the owner has no intention of completing anything else, is far from restored. And you’ll see a lot of Jeep owners that do this, usually there’s indicators that this is the case when you see all kinds of weird stencils that are incorrect for the vehicle and period of service. MV purists will always keep their vehicle exactly original and nothing else.

This video was fantastic. I plan on using a 70's toyota truck drive train, and completely building my own plagiarized Jeep around it, frame and all.

Thank you for your help Ronald I actually did a google search for the vacuum assisted wipers but was not able to find the right tutorial.Your explanation however has helped me a lot and will look forward for more videos from your side.Many wishes.

this is fantastic. I am building a model of the Willys Jeep right now and this was very helpful.

My grandfather has one and he’s giving it to me when he passes amazing car

Loved it 👌👌more of the turnable headlights ..

Have been crazy about these vehicles since I was a kid , thanks for sharing 👍

amazing how utilitarian every detail is

настоящий солдат, ничего лишнего. Спасибо тому, кто сохранил эту замечательную машину

outstanding video editing, and explanation..good job sir, and thank you.

Come on! start it for us!! i LOVE your jeep, very informational video. If i ever restore a vehicle, the first thing i would restore would be a willys MB.

I have a fully restored 1943 GPW Ford, such a joy to ride with the canvas and windscreen down! I'll never sell it, it's my baby!

I used to drive one of these in Korea. X. Ray. Camp Commanders unit. Flooded it in the Imjin River but it still started and never failed.

I had a 1943 Ford Jeep. Loved it. I put a 194 cu. in. Buick V/6 in it which made it go alot better.It also had the machinee gun floor in the back

Brings good and sad memories. Thanks for sharing this video.

Certainly an Iconic vehicle, and possibly the most famous off road vehicle next to the land Rover, but highly impractacle with such a slow top speed of around 40mph. Great off road, but becoming so rare and valuable, that its only a brave owner who would take theirs off road. The opening windscreen is a really nice touch.

nice... grew up had a 43 willys MB in the my family. what fun i had. owner after us went back to mil spec on it. found a Belgum military uniform button under the fuel tank when during the first fuel tank change around 1965 or so.

Thank You for sharing. It’s a gem.

Beautiful Jeep. Congratulations on owning it. I see you have 101st. ABN. I was 82nd 1st 505th back in the day. Airborne brother! 👍🇺🇸

I have been to the Philippines several times and have seen the thousands of Jeepney’s. Each one is a piece of art. I always wanted to purchase one of the solid stainless steel copies (beautiful). :-)

O mais interessante nesse Jeep é que foi projetado pra linha do trem, combate total... É anfíbio, é tanta coisa que nem sei... Simplesmente magnífico.

Beautiful restoration job! Love my 3A!! NH

There is a beauty in it’s simplicity and utility. My wife wants this.

I came across this channel through a Jeep video 11 years ago. It smells the same as my channel. I love it.

سياره جيد احب السيارات القديمة لقلبي من صممها وصنعها حقآ مبدعون وقمت التفوق والنجاح بعملهم الف شكر لهم

Ive been following a blender tutorial by the great David Ward on how to model one of these, I`ve sort of fallen in love with the willys. It must of hurt to let it go. I was stuck for refence images for final touches so this clip has been a dream to find!

Thanks for the video. The info with the detailing explanation of each part very useful.

ALL of the Willys MB headlights were on buckets and flipped ! That stopped when Willys introduced the M-38 or MC model . Cool vid .

very good shape! Greatings from Enemy Country where he drives!

We had a Wileys when I was a kid and then my older brother ran it into a canal. “Salt water canal.” That was the end of our family treasure.

Beautiful restoration. Like the new originals

A very nice job Ron! I'm currently building a 42 Gpw and an M38A1. Hope they come out as nice! Keep up the good work!-----Dave in Ohio

I got it this way in 2004 but never drove it very much (for various reasons). I needed to make room for another vehicle so I sold it. Jeeps were made as a lightweight, expendable vehicle and were never intended to survive as long as many have. Sitting out in the weather is a killer… sitting under a tarp is probably worse. Still have the Model A.

The condition is very perfect. I like it.

Jeeps have changed a lot since then, I am driving a 2019 jeep now, I used to drive a series Land Rover which even from the 70s was still as basic as that Jeep there except for the plastic dashboard.

Excellent video & love those WW2 Willys MB Jeeps!

Thats an amazing car.. very good condition..

Beautiful and graceful.

Excelente es Jeep Willys 100% original incluyendo el motor. Señores este es el mejor Jeep fabricado jamás

This would be so fun to drive ! Awesome history

Felicitaciones por tener ese excelente jeep willys mb, soy fanatico de los willys, Saludos desde Bs As Argentina.

All mechanical no electronics I just love it

Très belle rénovation bravo j avais la même à l'armée merci

Thank you for sharing

Drove one of these in the Philippines, got my Navy driver's license.

complimenti….e' bellissima sembra appena uscita dalla fabbrica..!!!

Great vid.

It's a very nice M-38 Ron. I learned to drive in one similar. They are fun for around town and excellent for off road, but tedious out on a highway trip. ....Sooner or later it becomes time to sell em and get something a bit more comfortable...

The value is in the eye of the beholder. Just look for ads in your area. Also, they make a lot of very good reproduction Willy's parts in the Philippines. Another favorite of mine is the British Austin Champ 4-cylinder Rolls Royce Engine...

My Gawd that is perfect! droolin here.

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!

It is in beautiful condition. Wow

Impecável,muito bom. WILLYS. 1943 segunda guerra,raridade todo original.

Fighissimo!

Great jeep from a military collector

I will not be making any more videos on this jeep. I sold it last year.

Great video quality and perfect presentation

Blackout Lights were designed to provide a minimum of light so as not to be seen by a distant enemy or from the air above 400 ft. The Blackout Driving Light is 25 to 50 candlepower. They were probably most useful for vehicles traveling in convoy with wide-awake drivers. I’ve played around driving with them and really couldn’t see much. You need to drive very slowly. I can only imagine a lot of people ran into each other when using them.

Very nice job on the engine compartment, some of that stuff is VERY hard to come by.

Nice jeep i love any jeep wrangle rubicon renegade willy in ford then crisler toyota fj cruisers 1968 to 1985

One of the most beautiful JEEP on the planet earth 🤩.

Abençoada quem inventou ele!!

Great people great ideas sense of style and qualities and the gift of centuries for the people of the world. Thanks an love you.

Nice video, very informative, you even show the labels too, great! Always been curious about the details in these "General Purpose" (Jeep=G.P.) vehicles. Amazing how simple, straight-forward and rugged it all is, the way all American stuff used to be made. This stuff is going to remain around for a long time I'm sure, they're not making any more of it. Congratulations on an amazing restoration, hope the new owner has as much pride in it as you do, can see it in the way you undo the latches :^)

gotta love that Steel on Steel interior! spent about 2 weeks in and out of a HMMWV in AIT. those cushions aren't worth a damn!

Nice Jeep sir.

Very nice jeep

Que carro, super original e cheios dos mimos.

Beautiful. Very. Nice

I had one CJ5 1983 Ford 2.3L OHC (4 cylinders) that had pneumatic windshield wiper on the driver's side and a manual wiper on the passenger side.

Good Upload 👌

I’ve wanted one of these my whole life.

Very cool!

Beautiful!!! ❤

Thanks for the video

Great video thanks for the walk around. Has an old military hand this is the first time I ever heard a pintle hitch called a ring hitch. That is probably the official name but I’ve never heard it.

Beautiful example

wilys jeep is my favourite already today

Cool jeep
