UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $3500.

(12/07/2018) Has some CJ parts.

“This is a 1943 (based on VIN) GPW Military Jeep. Needs some work on the drivers and passenger floors, the axe and shovel panel and the rear panel. The rear floor and panels are solid with just surface rust. It has a CJ grill. But I have a WW2 grill which I will include. The left and right fenders need some welding. The gas tank sump needs to be replaced and it needs a gas tank. It has an L134 4 cyl Go Devil Engine, which turns easily and it has a 6 volt alternator. It should be easy to get running. Also, I believe the transmission is the T-90. Based on the color, I would say this was used by the Air Force after the war.”

UPDATE: Marioshared this article on Facebook. The fact it mentions the term “Zamechatelno” and it’s translation (“swell”) made us both wonder if the article was the root of the subsequent WWII ad by Willys of the same name (shown below).

The Zamechatelno ad was published three months later in the October 10, 1942, issue of Collier’s Magazine (and subsequently in the November 14, 1942, issue of the Saturday Evening Post). Given Willys-Overland had to commission the work, ready the ad, then submit it for publishing, this timeline certainly suggests the new article could have been the reason for the ad’s creation.

Original Post July 11, 2010: A couple ads from Willy’s-Overland’s WWII ad campaign related to Russians. (You can see a list of all the Willys-Overland WWII ads published, with dates, in the Saturday Evening Post and Colliers).

Here’s another Ad with a Russian theme. This one was published in the August 18, 1942, issue of the Saturday Evening Post. I did not find a similar ad in Collier’s Magazine.
