I had a 43 mb and i had plans to put her back into as original comdition as possible, but life interjected itself into my dreams with a child, so i watch things like this and dream away. Omg an original crated engine. Wow
it's often best to watch anyway, the reality is its expensive and hard work, not all a bed of roses lol!
Love that, two comments'. I used to help restore WW2 Jeeps. One we deliberately restored in English spec, Butler headlamps, proper hood catches, Square mirrors and RA colours and it really stood out, . Another we restored as a 101st Airborne but unlike many ours was a genuine 101st Vehicle. Pre-D-Day 101st were stationed @ Greenham Common and we bought ours from the HighClere Castle estate just 5 miles away. Markings found under paint confirmed it had been left behind.
My dad was 101st Airborne on D-Day....and a signal corpsman at that.
Wow...this is mind blowing... Thank you for sharing all these treasures...Wow..Is almost a Jeep Willys museum. The barn hood finding is a great story in itself. Wow...is the only word I can say. Of course I would like to have more content from this wonderful place. Thank you to the owner too for "sharing" his collection with us.
Yes we are very lucky that he wants to share this with us all, I will be sure to document it correctly!
Thank you again Sir.
You always make my Day.
God Bless and keep y'all safe !
I'm glad to help, look after yourself and others too!
Mind blowing I love it!
Outstanding video, Matt! I got up this morning and hadn't planned on learning anything, but here we are...
Everyday is a school day
Very cool sir. You are very helpfully to the Jeep community. I have an original 03a3 bolt action rifle that proves a couple of the debates on those rifles. Pretty cool when you can find the answer to some of the debates. Great job as always. Wish you were my neighbor. There is a lot to learn and you know a lot
Great intro to what's to come.....can't wait! Thank you for sharing.
My first car when I was 18 or so in 77 was a 1942 Ford GPW Jeep I paid 1300 bucks for. It ran and drove and had a Willys engine in it. It had 0 oil pressure at idle when hot and 10 pounds at speed but always started and ran fine as long as it had gas and spark. My second car was a 41 military Dodge closed cab 1/2 ton pick up with a winch. Was a lot of fun back then and I eventually sold the Jeep to pay for the Power Wagon, then eventually sold the pw to buy my third actual car, a 69 Dart I still own today. I sure wish I still had them but back then on the west coast of the USA there were a lot of various old ww2 trucks and Jeeps around dirt cheap that were totally driveable as is
This is Canada calling... Enjoying the videos. Learning a lot. Your narration style is entertaining as well as informative. Kudos.
So much history! Very cool. You nailed it too, the entire commonwealth all participated in the war effort, they rebuilt em in New Zealand as well. Keep em coming!
yep, an all American vehicle that is also completely international, that's what makes it the best!
Great collection, regards from Indonesia
A gold mine of information when you can find original, un-Bubba'd Jeeps! An interesting feature on that British Jeep that I could see is the rear diff is painted white and has a small lamp to light it up. Jeeps made for Canada had the same feature for convoy driving, with a small toggle switch on the dash next to the main light switch.
What a gems you showed, thanks for sharing. Absolutely amazing Matt!
No problem JP, good details for your late jeep too here
@@Greendot319 absolutely, already saved some screenshots. Do you know the sn?
Great teaser Matt can't wait to see next episode of video
Neither can I, we're going to be looking at a lot with this collection!
That was a great bit of history
Brilliant Jeep documentary.
Many thanks!
That was certainly worth waiting for!
Very rare opportunity so going to make sure its done properly!
Bakelite distributer cap! Nice!
Really nice, I love that British spec jeep.
yep that ones a beauty, very rare to find a brit like that, it went to America for a few years so managed to survive!
I think there's probably more jeeps marked 101st Airborne Division now than there was during the war !!!! But very interesting you explaining about the British jeeps,...there's quite a few indications that my 1942 GPW had been in the British Army,..it was also painted in a dark glossy green colour and different parts on which non which were put on by the previous two private owners and quite possibly stayed in the UK during the war due to it's condition ! A great video,..thank you.
I often ask 'train spotters' that pick on my Jeep for not being 100%,
'I presume you only have one coat of OD paint on your Jeep, then' ?
Incredible! So much information. Thanks.
No problem!
Thank you for sharing, sir
you're welcome as usual
Amazing collection!!!
Cheers from Argentina
Restoration is always tricky. Take the conical washers for example. They were installed that way, on that shift, on that day by someone working long hours on a wartime assembly line. I really enjoyed seeing the original hood! That offers more historical information than any service manual.
There is no mechanical sense in them facing outwards so even though i've now seen two crated factory engines like it I still think they were doing it wrong!
Solid video, great engine discussion. Thank you
Thanks for showing, here in the states they bring a premium. Doubt you would ever find one like that. You guys in the UK are very lucky.
just great GREAT! thanks kindly
Very interesting
Very cool stuff
Very rare opportunity to see these things!
Great Jeeps!
Absolutely!
Been a Jeep nut most of my life. Flat fender that is . Have a few laying around for my next build. Think that crate motor is something I know of a complete MB still in a crate but it’s absolutely not for sale believe me I have tried many times over the years.
Amazing video!
;)
Ahhh now that explains why the jeep I'm buying.
Has red undercoat and no plates.
Like your videos, have you seen any with the Canadian Military markings on them yet?
Great stuff mr Dot
Looks like you’ve got some good stuff coming up
Weather your an MB nut , GPW nut ,
American or British service jeep nut!!
yep, this is a serious collection so something for everyone here!
ジープカッコイイ～欲しい～♪
Excellent can i know hw do i understand the originality of GPW- M.A & M.B
They look really good, go ahead and subscribe. I do like to see the old packaging, don't forget to subscribe. I hadn't realised that the UK forces had used the same jeeps. And subscribe.
A very interesting video for me as I have a similar GPW engine (well used and not crated) also 1945 - about 6000 units older than this one. I just wondered if you remember if the exhaust manifold was F marked with the GPW part number ? I ask as mine is not so marked and I think it could be original.
Remarkable Jeeps - we are so lucky to see this video Matt, thanks ever so much! A fantastic reference source, can you show the toolbags and spanners if they have them please?
Thanks Clive, this is only the start of the video series so we will be able to look at these jeeps in detail (only some of the collection). I will look at tools too so not to worry ;)
@@Greendot319 That's good then Matt, thanks. Those Jeeps are mind-bogglingly good!
@@cliverothwell3472 yes this is top shelf stuff
great content, thank you for sharing the video about jeep willys, you can see some videos of jeep willys in Indonesia on my channel
After watching this video, metalshaper video(another American jeep restorer) appeared in my notification. I don't know if it's coincidence or big brother watching internet thing, Captain America shield appears in the suggested products advertising. I see a similarity with the DDay hood markings.🤔
Oorah, be proud of your history
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I'd like to get my hands on a authentic retro WW2 atom bomb.
Whatever floats your boat!
Hi there how much would I have to pay for a runner, that needs restoration?
Which country , this jeep price
IS GREEN DOT FOR A SHOTGUN POWDER
The gpw and mb must come from a western state of usa with dry and fair weather to be in such state of conssrvation ( california , arizona...).
yep these are imports, nothing survives well in Europe :(
Not exactly true....some of the best survivors have come from Norway where the cold has preserved them and the fact they were still in service up until the 80s
I have stories of Jeeps parked up and stored in the artic circle where it is too cold
for them to rust
Great vid keep It up Matt
Ps are you going to Malvern in June ?
I haven't though about it Dave as i'm Broke but I suppose I should!
Yeh it would be great too meet you I have gained some useful info watching your vids and applied them to my MB .
Nice.jeeps.l.have.3
Jeeps.my.self
Thank you :)
Thus the rug stuff in the carburetors comes with the original crate engine?😀
Rug Stuff comes with original Carbs!
@@Greendot319 WOW! That's amazing,.
I saw an ad for a new jeep packed away in a crate. I think it was a scam.
Hi , i have a question for you concerning the painting process.Do you think the axles , frame, steering box /column, brake master cylinder were painted separately and put together after or ,were put together first then painted ? How do you proceed on you restorations?
These days the best way to do is it is individually paint all the components, then assemble everything and then do another overall touch up spray to repair any damage from assembly!
Is it a dream ?
This is one mans reality, but fortunately he would like to share it
