1942 Slat Grille (no jockey box) MB Goffstown, NH **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: MB • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900

(10/21/2010) Here’s an early Slattie.

“This is  a 1942 Willys Slat Grill MB. Its a project I bought years ago and has been sitting in collection mode ever since. Meaning I have been accumulating the parts to restore her. I decided I wasn’t likely to get to this project or my #277 45 CJ so I’m letting them go. The 45 is gone so here goes the Slatty. I’m selling it just as I bought it with the exception of it now has the original slat grill on it as when I bought it someone had put a stamped MB grill on it. Guess they thought it looked better. The serial number of the slat is 112200 and the body tag and frame tag both match. The 3 tags are still on the dash but one has a small piece cut out of it for some unknown reason.The engine SN is MB219002 which I believe is a later motor. I’ve never tried to start it, but the motor turns freely. The transmission is original with the right hand fill and I believe the transfer case is original as well. The transmission and transfer case are stuck in gear as it sat outside for many years before I bought it. I’ve never tried to free them up or look at them. The drive shafts are disconnected so you can move it. I believe the spare tire carrier is correct. It has the “gas” gage and the 30 amp meter. The key switch is still there with the key. The windshield frame is rock solid. The hood has a round hole cut in it. It does have the riveted “slat grill” oil pan. The frame is good. It has one of the 2 hinge tool box lids in place with the lock. The drivers seat is the original split back rail but the pan has been opened up for the larger filler. Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions just ask. If it doesn’t sell I’m going to spend a few hours on it and see if I can get it running and driving….”

This looks like a deal.  It runs, has a top, and a plow.  That’s worth $700 easily.  I’m guessing this is a MB rather than a CJ-2A.

(04/14/2010) This is an UNRESTORED MB in excellent condition.

“This is my grandpa’s  jeep.  He has been collecting jeeps since before i was born and has finally begun to sell them.  He used to drive our towns old war veterans around the square in the parade with his jeeps, and that is about the only time he ever took them out of storage.

Its in good condition, and starts up on the first try or two.  The fiberglass antenna is cracked and broken toward the top, and the millage is vard to read due to the numbers cracking and falling off.  It does not have a title.  We took the make shift top off this jeep, but i dont have the pics of it without the top.  It looks much better without it though.”
