MOD 109 models from Series II to III FFR) I have been about 6 years without a real 4&#215;4 (modern SUVs don&#8217;t count!). So the idea came up to buy a Dodge WC Series Truck from WW2 because of its very similar technical design and its much higher historical value.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> <span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"> At that time the pricetag of a Dodge in turn key condition was about the price of a similar Series Land Rover &#8211; so I h<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">ad to sell my beloved Mazda MX-5 NA Roadster to make this plan possible. But every thing &#8222;has it&#8217;s time&#8220; and after 9 years and the loss of my old garage it had to go&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> So I&#8217;ve been looking at first for a <a href=\"http:\/\/dodge.buwe.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dodge Ambulance (Link: Ulis WC54)<\/a> since late summer 2011 in central Europe &#8211; but found no vehicle in a sound condition at a reasonable price. So the WC51\/52 type was the second best option and I drove in spring 2012 twice to the Netherlands and once to Belgium to see several WC52&#8217;s for sale.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">My Dodge WC52<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">After more than 2,000 km on the road I found my WC52 on a French online market site. It has been rebuilt from about 2004 to 2006 by a French Willys Jeep owner and his son as a budget project, but the latest French owner did not do anything since the last 5 years of ownership. So I fixed most of this &#8222;70% done project&#8220; and brought it back on the road.
