1945 MB Charlotte, NC **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

“Military collectors take a look at a original 1945 Willys Jeep that my family has owned for over 30 years. This is a original unaltered Jeep that has the manual trans and 4 cylinder engine. I have the title so it is street drivable. It has been sitting in a covered area for a couple years and was running about a year ago. This Jeep would make a great resto project and it would take very little to get it running again. Once again I do have a title for it. I am located in south Charlotte. Hate to sell it but I don’t have the time to restore it and I hate to see it sitting and not being used as it should be”

1943 MB Kennewick, Wa **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  This sold.  Was listed at $3000.

You might remember that Ann and I looked at this MB a couple weeks ago. Brian has decided to sell this running MB, a barn find parked several years ago after the death of its owner.  Unfortunately, Brian and his friend Art, who located the jeep, were unsuccessful at locating the paperwork, so it’s being sold with a bill of sale. As you can see from the pictures, this is a good restoration candidate.  Though Brian got the engine running, he has only driven it forward and backwards a few feet as he hasn’t inspected the differentials (You just never know, he said, so better to be safe).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

” i am listing my 1945 willys mb. this is really a very straight mostly original ww2 army jeep. this is a june 1945 willys mb serial number 450667 as the last mb serial number was 459851. almost one of the last ones. what is missing– seats, and top bows, other small stuff. what is pretty rare- all of the ww2 gauges except temp, body handles, pintle hitch, tail lights, ww2 engine(gpw 5077) t84 transmission, gas tank, rifle rack mounts, 1st aid bracket, blackout light, cat eyes, rotary light switch, voltage regulator still on fender, original air cleaner, all data plates- shipping plate, and even the original willys frame tag! i have a clear colorado title in my name also. just alot of good ww2 items still on it, not bubbafied like 90% of them. this is one of the last ones with out firewall fuel filter-no holes drilled either. i have the spare gas holder for it, and 2 bolt spare tire carrier, and spare tire support. the engine is still full of oil, and radiator holding nice green anti freeze. the motor is stuck from sitting, as is transmission. transfer case goes in and out. previous owner said he was driving it 3 years ago, then left it sit, as he was repairing the tank, which i found a correct wide mouth tank for it. the front floors are probably the worst part, but really minor rust compared to most. rear floor is very nice, as is the body. i had a 6 volt battery, and the cat eyes came on on the rotary. what is nice is the front frame horns–not been welded on or cut up!! the jeep was ww2 od, then looks like it was a korean war darker green, then air force blue. then someone did the white, and black deal on it. this should really be a nice easy project, as its mostly all there, with a good rare early ford gpw block (good trading material) has the late war mb head still. carb is a later model.”

1944 MB Phoenicia, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is unrestored and the engine has been rebuilt.

“For your consideration, a very nice “barn find” 44’ Willys MB Jeep.. Serial #325384. This jeep is in very nice original condition, and has never been restored. Looks like it was painted green a few times with a brush.

Frame is in almost perfect condition, with no major rust issues whatsoever. It appears to still have the original front bumper and gussets.

The body shows its age with small dings and dents, but no major damage. The front floors are the only area of concern on the vehicle, as they have been covered with tin. Inspection underneath reveals only minor rusting on the drivers side, and hat channel rusting on the passenger’s side. There is lots of structurally sound metal left for repairs. Overall, the body is very restorable, and possesses a lot of character. Hood, fenders, and windshield are in good condition with no major rust thru. Seat cushions are replacement units, but mount exactly as the originals. Frames are in nice shape.

The drivetrain on this Jeep is in great condition. Engine was completely rebuilt (have receipts) about 200 miles ago to the tune of $2900. Engine appears to be original to the jeep with serial #MB-369110. 6v system is intact, and functional. T84 Transmission and axles are the original units gone thru and in good condition.”

1945 MB Lexington, MA eBay

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

A divorce forces this sale, but the seller takes the time to note that there is a high mileage wife on the market now.

“1945 Willys MB. This is pretty much a new build on a 1945 frame and wheels. I bought it as a beautiful looking civilian rebuild (see the picture in glossy red). The prior owner did most of the mechanical rebuild. I “remilitarized” it and replaced several mechanical components he didn’t. The engine is a rebuilt unit (I think it’s a 2A, it has ribs on the head). The T84 transmission and transfer case are rebuilt (with no leakage). It has an overdrive. I don’t know if the overdrive is a rebuilt unit or new (it looks new, does Warn still make them?). Clutch components are all new. The brake system is new from backing plates to master cylinder. Has locking front hubs. The steel is new from bumper to bumperetts: Body, bumper, gussets, windshield frame, seat frames, fuel tank and bumperetts, new springs and shackles. The underside, floor and rear bed have a rhino coat type finish (I don’t know the brand) it will never rust. The wiring harness is almost all correct cloth covered wires, the lights all work, the tail lights are both the type with a brake light for safety. I replaced the water pump and starter last week, battery, fuel pump and a professionally rebuilt carburetor before that (the choke, hand throttle and idle speed combination are a bit touchy while warming up). All 5 tires have minimal wear and look brand new. I replaced the steering components from box (professionally rebuilt) to button. I replaced all the military parts; paint (there is an epoxy coat under it applied by the prior owner, again it will never rust), windshield wipers, pioneer tools & straps, safety straps, seat cushions, crash pads, top, top bows and hardware, safety chains (a detail almost always missing on a rebuild), exhaust system, shocks, spare tire foot and fire extinguisher bracket. The fire extinguisher and tire pump are originals. The M48 dash machine gun mount and pintle are new units, I made the cradle. The Browning model 1919 30 cal. machine gun and carbine are resin copies (Ebay censers, they never did and never can be made to fire!!!!!!!). You can not fit an M1 rifle with an M48 mount, the right side windshield clamp doesn’t fit very well. My MA tile says 65,540 miles when purchased (I presume that was the actual milage before the speedo was replaced by prior owner). My divorce expenses force me to sell the Willys (anyone want a cute, short, very aggressive, high mileage wife ?). I can not provide a warrantee (Jeep or wife). $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of winning bid. Final payment by bank check (cleared) prior to going on trailer, or cash at pick up. I can help arrange shipping. The Jeep can be seen any time in Lexington MA.”

This looks good.

“This is a reserve auction for a 1942 Willys MB, serial number MB127011, date of delivery 11 March 1942. This Jeep was manufactured with a limited number of Jeeps after Willys started manufacturing WWII Jeeps with the “pressed grille” sheet metal type of front grille, (only 1202 by serial number). The earlier front grilles were the “slat grille” type (the last slat grille serial number was MB125809). This MB is a motorpool type restoration. When the Jeep was obtained by a prior owner there was already a mixture of MB and GPW parts on it. It is suspected that it was used on base at Camp Shelby, MS for years where the mixture of parts originated during on-base maintenance. The hood & bumper markings are in honor of the 124th Infantry Division (Dixie Division). The frame serial number is orginial. The glove box data plates are reproductions made by Robert de Ruyler at Dataplates4U.com. The T84 transmission, transfer case and rear axle are GPW componets. The orginial body was so shot that it was replaced with a repro body. The transmission and transfer case have been rebuilt and runs great. All bearings have been replaced in the axles as well as new brake cylinders, brake lines and brake shoes. The engine is a 1946 CJ2a L134 flat head that has also been rebuilt and runs great. The radiator is a CJ2a radiator. Included with the Jeep are, repro cloth top & frame, 5 repro combat wheels and tires, period dated gas can, shovel & axe, jack and tow rope. Receipts and photos of restoration are available if wanted. This vehicle is titled and tagged in Tennessee and will include a Bill of Sale”

The floor boards on this look pretty solid.

“This is a very complete 3-4-45 MB. Serial number is 422765. I have the original data plates as shown in the photo. Jeep is out of Wyoming so it has minimal rust. An easy restoration project! Engine is an MB engine but does not have a matching serial number. Correct T84 transmission and model 18 transfer case. Engine compartment is very complete and original. Strong running engine, carries 40 psi oil pressure at idle. Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and do not make any funny noises.
The frame is in average condition for it’s age. Left rear upper shock mount is gone and a gusset plate has been welded in place. Looks to be an easy removal and there are two upper shock mounts included in the spare parts box to make the repair with. Front frame horns are in good shape. Have been boxed in but again, easy removal. Rear crossmember is damaged and will need replacing.
The steering bellcrank that should be on the axle has been converted to a cj3a type on the upper crossmember. Looks like it could be removed without to much difficulty.
I have installed a number of new parts to make it run and drive reliably. Here is the list: new deep mud exhaust system complete with a correct hanger kit, pedal shaft A495, Fuel pump and hose, fan belt, oil hoses, spark plugs, points, rotor, condenser, starter switch, z tube with seal kit, clutch link rod, generator pulley and a new battery. I have installed 4 new tubes and tires on original combat wheels and will include a 5th for the spare rim.
I will also include a new US made crossmember kit, a new US made front bumper and gussets along with the correct steering bell crank and bell crank repair kit.
All of the spare parts you see in the photos are included.
Clear Minnesota title.”
