1942 MB Slat Grille San Leandro, Ca **SOLD**
UPDATE: The winning bidder came out of nowhere and overbid the previous bidder by $1250 in the last 8 seconds, raising the winning bid to $4500.
Slat grilles are rare enough to make this worth looking at, but it’s certainly beat up a bit.
” I have a 1941-1942 Willys slat grill jeep for sale. It is in decent shape, I got it to run using a small can of gas going directly to the carb. The jeep has been sitting for some time and I didn’t want to trust the old gas tank. This was used as a hunting jeep. The previous owner who had it for 40+ years modified the back by cutting the rear panel at the seams, welding them to the sides and then adding a replacement rear panel…”
1947 CJ-2A/MB/GPW (2 Jeeps) Kemp, Tx $3500
The ad says 1947, but the body in the pics looks like an MB or GPW. Apparently there are two jeeps and extra parts.
“2 Jeeps (military) great for hunting or restoration project, one running and the other used for parts. Also extra parts – grill, fenders, 2 extra blocks. Asking $3500 but can be flexible. Call 903-498-7089 for more information.”
1944 MB/GPW (?) Body Clovis, Ca $700
I can’t say for certain, but the year would indicate this is a MB or GPW body and parts. No condition noted and no pics included. It’s been available since at least Nov 24th.
“1944 Willy’s body for sale. Body, fenders, and hood. $700.00 or best offer. Call 346-1650.”

It appears a bit rough and the pics don’t allow for much scrutiny.

1944 MB Fremont, Ca $3000
This might be a ’44 or a ’45. It’s definitely a project. Lots of parts of pieces which the seller lists on the Craigslist Ad.
“I bought a ’44 or ’45 MB years ago with the intention of using it for a hunting rig. What I bought was rough, to say the least. Upon tearing into it I discovered a lot of wonderful parts. Appreciating history, I decided to do as much restoration as I could without going overboard. I acquired a lot of needed parts and slowly began the process. Well, many years later it’s going nowhere and I don’t have a hunting rig. I’d like to swap it for a license worthy and smog test exempt (CA) jeep that I can take hunting and occasionally to the grocery store….”
1942 MB Stockton, Ca $5100
There’s some good updates to this jeep and it looks good too, but there’s also some unmentioned items that need fixing.
“327 v8. power steering disc brakes on front big 4sp 2sp over drive unit 2sp transfer case hei ign 389 gears 44 back 30 front best top 33* tires jeep runs good needs some work but runs good all lights blinkers wipers do work no speedo reg is up to date good till 09 jon 209 462-7440”
1943 MB Missoula, MT **SOLD**
While it doesn’t appear to be in perfect condition, it does appear to be in very good, completely stock condition. This appears to be an excellent restoration candidate.
“This is a very rare Jeep, Built in Jan 1943 for the military to be used during World War 2, very solid, only a few small rust spots, very original with combat wheels, original seats,spare tire mount, jerry gas can mount,original ftathead 4 cyl engine and 3 spd transmission.Has original 4X4 high/low range transfer case, very intact, needs glove box door, couple gauges, soft top and bows, all avaiable new reproduction, easy one to restore, engine spins free and was running 9 years ago when parked.

1942 MB Grants Pass, OR **SOLD**
This jeep has a tailgate and a later model grille,but no gas tank inlet. Maybe it’s a repro tub?
“1942 Willy’s Jeep flat head 4cyl in good condition, runs and drives. Reconditioned head, new head gasket, new spark plugs, new front brakes, new bearings/seals in front end, and rebuilt starter. The body has been recently painted and the seats have been recovered, and are in great shape. Aluminum wheels and 31″ procomp tires. Owner’s manual included.”

1945 MB Scappoose, Or **SOLD**
“Willys MB, WWII Jeep. Rough, but runs well. Can be restored to original. New wheel bearings & brakes. Some spares & WWII paint. 4 cyl, 3 speed 4WD.”
1942 MB Holden, Mo eBay
This MB looks like a play jeep. It does not appear to be licensed. I wonder if the stock axles were upgraded. I’d think that power and those tires would be hard on stock MB axles.
“I’VE OWNED LOTS OF JEEPS IN THE PAST, BUT THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE IN THE PAST I’VE TURNED DOWN NUMEROUS OFFERS TO SELL IT BUT COULD NOT PART WITH IT. WILLY HAS A 283 CHEVY V-8 RUNS SMOOTH, QUIET,AND COOL. IT HAS HEADERS AND GLASS PACKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A V-8 SHOULD. IT HAS A 350 TURBO TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN REBUILT AND IS A STOCK TRANNY. THE REST OF THE DRIVE TRAIN IS STOCK I THINK? WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 4X4 LOCK OUT HUBS. FOR ADDED DRIVE ABILITY I’VE ADDED A STEERING BOX WITH A GM POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH MADE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN MANEUVERING THE 31 X15 GOODYEAR TERRA TIRES ON 14 INCH WIDE STEEL RIMS.”
GPW Bellhousing Horseshoe Bend, Id $50
This is right over the hill from me. I really don’t know how rare these are, but I could run and pick it up if someone’s interested in it.
“Hard to find single rib Willys bell housing for 4 Cylinder L-Head (CJ2A, MB, GPW Jeep). I removed this from my GPW. It’s in good shape with no cracks. It will bolt up to a T90 and T84 transmission. It’s for the CJ2A jeep or early flat fenders. It includes the original inspection cover. Somebody drilled another drain hole in the bottom (see photo).”
1942 MB Vashon Island, Wa $1700
It isn’t clear to me whether this runs or not.
“1942 Willies Military (Navy) Jeep complete with most original hardware. $1,700 includes extra engine. Ready for restoration.”
1944 MB Seabeck, Wa $3000
This appears to have a later model windshield. It’s hard to tell much else from the pictures.
“New L head engine and clutch , runs good willing to take offers.”
1945 MB Syracuse, NY $12,500
I think the price is a bit high on this jeep, given it isn’t running and has no title, but if the price drops, this could be a reasonable project. It sounds like the project has a lot of new parts that just need to be put together, though I suspect, as usual, it will be a bit more complicated than that.
“You are bidding on a 1945 Willys MB Army Jeep that is three quarters restored. This jeep has $12,500.00 invested into it so far. The jeep has a new tub which sits on the chassis but has not been bolted down though new rubber mounts and bolts included in the sale. The motor and chassis are 100% restored. The motor, transmission, transfer case and rear end were completely rebuilt. The brakes are complete including all new components and master cylinder including all steel and rubber lines. It has combat wheels on all 4 corners and original looking WW2 tires….”
Willys MB Body Tacoma, Wa $100
Though it’s in ok condition, these don’t pop up everyday.
“I have a garaged Willys MB body for sale. It includes the speedometer and 3 of the 4 gauges. I am going away for school and would like to see this go to a good home. The body is in OK condition with some rust in the normal problem areas. The pictures aren’t the best, but I’ll answer any questions anyone may have.”
1942 MB Omak, Wa $700
The image on the Ad was a bit dark, so I lightened up. I don’t see a Jeep, but I do see smoke.
“I have a 1942 willys jeep army needs restored and title good project motor turns over will have pics up soon”
1940s MB Sunnyvale, Ca $3500
The top on this MB is unusual. Is that a custom or aftermarket top? I can’t say for sure this is an MB, it’s just my guess.
“I have a 1940’s Willy’s flat fender for sale. I’m asking 3500 or best offer. The jeep still runs but needs work as you can see in the pics. If you have any questions about the car or your interested in looking at it. You can reach me at 408-209-0511 my name is Branden. Or you can send an e-mail to shortys_weedies@yahoo.com Serious inquiries only. Thank you”
1942 MB Smith River, Ca eBay
This jeep is located on the Oregon/Cali border near highway 101, so the drive alone is worth getting the jeep. This doesn't look in too bad of shape. The seller describes the body as fair to poor, but I've seen many worse bodies than this one.
"Body: Fair to poor condition, areas of rust.Engine: Has not run in 5 years.Tires: 5 in good condition.Other: Fenders & gas tank in good condition.Many usable parts if full restoration is not your thing.Shipping/Transportation will be the buyers responsibilityI'm located in California two miles south of the Oregon border on highway 101. I can be reached at (707)487-5808"
1951 CJ-3A Oceanside, Ca eBay
The seller states $12000 was spent on the restoration of this CJ-3A and that it will now go easily down Cali highways at 80mph. My response would be, for starters, how does the hood stay down at 80mph, because there is only a hood latch on the passenger side fender (none on driver side) and no latch receptacles on the hood. There's no mention of the MB body on this CJ-3A. The rear lights are missing on the driver's side. Rather than a CJ-3A, the grille appears to be a slat grille in the front (probably the most valuable part of this jeep). Caveat Emptor.
"4 wheel disk brakes, rancho suspension, 10,000 lb warn winch, power steering, power brakes, newer Ford 250 6 cylinder motor, new tires, new wheels, ground up restoration, new interior. This old jeep has been lovingly professionally restored to better than new condition. I had power disk brakes, power steering, Ford 250 motor, and rancho suspension added recently. I also had the interior completely redone for $2200 with commercial grade heavy duty vinyl and super heavy duty rubber on the floors. I also had the jeep painted with a $5500 base coat clear coat paint job which looks fantastic. There's over $12,000 in restoration and now I've decided to sell it…."
