Here’s a fun looking, old school build that Bob spotted. It looks like it has a CJ-5/CJ-3b cage in it — the bend in the front is in the wrong spot.  But, who cares; it has flames!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

(11/27/09) The seller doesn ‘t mention it, but it looks like this was built on a later model frame judging by the rear suspension.  I haven’t seen many ‘woody’ mbs.

“1943 Vintage WWII Willys Overland MB Jeep 4X4 For Sale Serial Number: 213591 Mileage; 33,397 One of a kind 1943 Willis’ MILITARY JEEP MB 4×4 in great condition with custom black paint and wood grain exterior panels.

This looks to be a pretty good price.

“So here’s the deal. I bought this 43 willys flat fender from a guy in cave junction about a year and a half ago (10/08 to be exact) for $600 (it was on C.L.), as a project and to use for hunting. When I bought it the motor was out and mostly disassembled, which the motor is a 4cyl. chevy vega eng.. Well when I got it home and aftering ordering all the part’s ($300) and starting to put it back together I found out the block had been dropped at one point, not to mention there was 3 heely coils and 2 stripped bolts. So I got on C.L. and finally found another chevy vega eng. a guy was selling in vancouver Wa.. So I went, checked it out, and bought it ($300). I brought it home rebuilt it and put it in.

1943? MB? La Pine, OR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $799

The body has a tailgate, so I doubt it’s an MB.  It looks more like a parts jeep.

“For Sale a 1943 MB Willys Jeep project, title in hand for $799 CASH OR BEST OFFER. I was in the process of making it into a fun driver and as such the tub in the pics is sitting on a postal Jeep 2WD chassis. The tub is NOT yet mounted. There is a good ’80’s Nissan pickup 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission mounted in the chassis. I also have other miscellaneous parts and pieces that will be sold as one lot including but not limited to the original chassis with front and rear axles, transmission, transfer case, etc. Most of the original Jeep body parts are usable. I DO NOT have the windshield frame. I’m sorry but PLEASE don’t call if you know nothing about old Jeeps and just want ask a million questions. Also do not call if you need a running, driving Jeep. THIS 67 YEAR OLD JEEP IS A PROJECT THAT WILL REQUIRE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY TO COMPLETE. PLEASE DO CALL if you seriously are looking for a project, or need parts for your project. Also please be aware that if you purchase this Jeep you will be responsible to load it up and haul it off yourself with your trailer. ”

1944 MB Tucson, Az $2750

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

The seller indicates this is an easy restoration.  I’m less sure about that.

“Good candidate for restoration into a very valuable piece of history. Currently selling for $10,000 plus in restored condition, this is an easy restoration. This Jeep is a late production unit and relatively complete, I can not see any rust through and has been an Arizona Jeep since released from the military 66 years ago. The engine is free, witnesses say it was running just before being parked, the sheet metal has some dents and damage but is certainly restorable, parts are readily available, and all four tires hold air. The original lights in front and rear are there including black out drive and park as is the original light switch. The floors are good and the original 6 volt army generator and large regulator are present. The fuel tank is missing as is the back seat frame. I have a few more pictures. Call 520-360-5074”

It looks a little rough, but solid.

“This is one badass Jeep. Engine: completely rebuilt 4 cylinder, very simple and easy to maintain but still strong enough for a 4×4 off-road vehicle. Runs great! Four wheel drive with modern tires and rims (spare included)
Three-speed, floor starter.  Paint is original US Issue Olive Drab Green with a white star on the hood. Its even got a row of machine gun bullet holes below the windshield. Straight out of M*A*S*H. Aftermarket roll-bar and bikini top. Overall its a great antique car with some military nostalgia.”
