This is a project. The seller provides good details for this jeep.

” You are bidding on one of the very last WW II jeeps to be built, a 1945 Willys MB-Navy radio jeep that was delivered to the U.S. Navy on October 10, 1945, nearly 2 months after Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945. This is a non-operable project jeep that needs a complete ground-up restoration. But it offers you the opportunity to own a rare and unusual WW II jeep. Here are some details.

Chassis serial number is MB-459512, which is only 337 jeeps below the highest MB serial listed by Willys, MB-459849 delivered to the U.S. Army in September 1945.

Date of Delivery is 10-10-45, stamped into this jeep’s original Nomenclature Plate on the removable glove box door. This postwar delivery date was due to the additional time Willys needed to install all the special equipment used on Navy radio jeeps.

Model name is “MB-Navy”, stamped into this jeep’s original Nomenclature Plate. This jeep was either one of the last MB-MZ-2 radio jeeps or one of the first MB-Navy Basic radio jeeps. (see more on eBay)”
