UPDATE: This was for sale a few weeks ago. It’s back of for sale.
Tom shared this one. It runs and has a slat grille in the back. The body’s indent area and cargo areas have been patched.

“1942 Willys MB slat grill. Vin 121995 with title. Running/driving. Brakes inop. Matching engine block and very early head. Not sure if the head is original. Missing frame tag but assuming it’s original too. Definitely worth a restore just not in the cards for me right now. Most recently it was owned by a farmer in KY for 40 years. Script panel missing as PO welded metal in the rear tub portion. Also some tomfoolery with springs on the shocks for added suspension. Closest offer to 7500 gets to take it home.”
YOU SEE SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY — LOOK AT THAT 5 GALLON JEEP CAN UNDER THE HOOD — OH MY GOD ?? — BWAHAHAHAHA !!! — IS THAT THE FUEL SUPPLY FOR THE VEHICLE ?? — OR JUST SPARE FUEL ?? — MOUNT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NEXT TO IT ??
This is the first time I’ve seen a Jerry can mounted under the hood. Pretty cool idea. And they only had to cut the inner fender to get it to fit.
I forgot to comment on that Jerry can. I have never seen that done either.
Looks like it sold. Not surprised. Of course this was not up for sale a few weeks ago when I was in Columbia Kentucky.
Thanks for the update Doug!
