1942 Slat Grille MB Cloverdale, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Nice Slattie!

“1942 Willy’s MB slat grill #109964.  DOD is:  1-8-42.  A 3-year frame off restoration was completed in June 2007.  This slat grill is used mostly for veteran related events, parades and car shows.  This is a popular and a favorite vehicle at shows and has won several awards.  It has been driven less than 1000 miles total.  I drive the jeep at least once every 2-3 weeks and keep it in good working condition.

The original tub was not useable but much care was taken to detail to make the new one as accurate as possible.  The slat has many of the original parts such as: brass data plates, frame, grill, split seam front seats, original back seat, steering wheel, column and steering box, short bodied distributor, “steel” marked pintal, “tiger eye” lenses, solid disc wheels, light assemblies, square shouldered footman loops, brake and clutch pedals, filterette, extinguisher and brackets, many TR20/EC/A/AA bolts and the list goes on ….”

(05/14/2010) The pics are a little misleading as the engine (chev 283) is pulled and needs the heads rebuilt.  This includes a car trailer.

Greg was watching the Mecum’s auction on TV when this unit popped up for sale.  It sold for a hefty price of $28,000.  Maybe it was the spotlight that sealed the deal?

This doesn’t look in horrible shape, but it also doesn’t look like it has moved in a while.  It appears to have a warn, or equivalent, winch on the front of it.

1944 MB Spokane, Wa $400

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

Dan spotted this one.  It doesn’t look too bad.

“This is a 44 Willys MB and is in rough condition. The tub’s straight but rusty, there’s no pass. seat, radiator, or windshield, but there’s still lots of good parts. (axels,trans & T-case, steering box, ect.) The engine’s a non stock F-head and is missing some parts. The frame’s been welded up alot in the front but is decent from the firewall back. You can see it at 312 S. Dishman Rd. (corrner of Dishman & Appleway) or give me a call (ask for Dave) at 509-928-4460…cell 509-991-4573. There is no title.”

1942 MB Pendleton, OR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

(05/11/2010) If we had a better pic, I *think* we’d see the upper tool indent visible but the lower one not visible.  However, even if that was the case, it appears that though the gas cap is visible, the inlet appears tilted, suggesting it is an aftermarket install. The dashboard suggests it is a MB body (with the glove box).  The floor board of the rear is just visible and is flat as expected, rather than having undulations like the CJ-2A.  The grille is mb, the passenger fender is mb and the hood is mb.   However this does have a CJ-2A windshield.   So, this appears to be less stock than I originally thought.

“1942 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good, no rust, super hurricane 6 cylinder engine, new tires. Street legal.”

1942 Slat MB Lahaina, Maui, Hi **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Was $15750 **Status Unknown**

(04/29/2010) I’m a little surprised the seller doesn’t mention this is a Slat Grille.  This doesn’t have the in-dash jockey box.

“The vehicle has been restored. It is very nice, runs great. Registration and Safety just renewed. It has too many improvements to list. Located on Maui in Lahaina. I am willing to take serious offers.”

A reader spotted this unusual deal.  That MB looks solid and appears stock.  The seller incorrectly lists the MB as a M-38.  This seller is also selling a Jeepster.

“4 Willys Jeeps For Sale. All Jeeps run good and have the original engines. One is a 1961 Willys Jeep set up for a service station with a steel plow and complete hydraulic plow package. The second is also from the early 1960’s and set up for a service station, and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The third Jeep is also from the early 1960’s and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The last Jeep is a 1950 or 1951 M-38 Military Jeep. All four Jeeps are complete and they all have some rot and rust. All four Jeeps are ready for restoration. I’m moving and can’t take these vehicles with me. $5,000.00 or best offer for all four Jeeps or make an offer for each Jeep separately. No e-mails please. Call (347) 203-9631.”
