1945 MB Prior Lake, MN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

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.”

1942 MB Slat Grille Alberta, Canada **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.

Looks like a good restoration.

“Very rare 1942 Willys ‘Slat Grill’ MB with original numbers matching 4 cylinder 60 hp, 134ci L-head ‘Go Devil’ engine with only 1660 miles on it!. Only 200 ‘slat grills’ are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to Army Motors, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. The last Willys Slat Grill was S/N 125807 – this one is SN 124833 and was delivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. A full frame-off rebuild was completed in 2009 and she has appeared at hanger dances, parades, Veteran Day’s events, air shows, and USO shows. This is a true show vehicle and not something you take to the bush for hunting. It comes complete with an all canvas top, shovel and axe attached to the side, upgraded brakes, a 12 volt electronic ignition system, and a copy of a M1 Automatic Carbine on the dash. This is a true gem and is garaged – does not sit outside in the weather. A rare opportunity to get a piece of history. Soon enough these will only be found in museums or in private collections. A rare piece of US history to be admired. Shipping or transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. Taylor’s transport does excellent shipping from Canada to USA at reasonable prices. Seller reserves the right to pull the listing if sold before the auction ends. Good luck and thanks for bidding.”

(09/02/2012) They broke the mold after creating this one.  It includes a capstan winch.

“Willy’s jeep 1942. Has original 4 cyl. engine that purrs and doesn’t smoke. I’ve yet to see anther like this one, it is two seat with a pickup box behind. On the front bumper is an engine driven capstan winch, go online to “willy’s capstan winch kit” and you will see that this item alone sells for $3250.00 plus shipping. Also comes with an aluminum bolt on roof with two aluminum doors and an A-frame rig that bolts to the front bumper for pulling stumps and whatever. If you want to have a jeep that nobody else has, respond to this ad. I’ve had many people look at this jeep and they all agree that it appears to be made this way by the factory. You won’t find another like this one. No scams accepted, cash only.”

1941 Newspaper Ad linking the car with the Jeep on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is an interesting ad that uses the jeep in co-promotion with W/O’s automobiles.  The Jeep in the ad appears to be a Slat Grille.  I wish the seller had mentioned the date of the newspaper, too.

“This is a SMALL size 1941 (it is close to 4″ X 4″) newspaper ad with paper toning.”

This is a very low mileage original 1945 Willys MB Jeep. I purchased this Jeep from the original family in 2005. It was in a heated storage area for the last 35 years. The Jeep was still in the crate when purchased. I am the second owner of this fine piece.  This MB still has all original canvas seats cushions, crash pads, door straps, original data plates and the original windshield glass (with dates). The Jeep also has all (5) of its original Goodyear tires with the synthetic S3 markings. This is one of the nicest untouched MB’s ever offered for sale – a rare opportunity to purchase a Christmas present in this condition.”

1945 MB Eugene, OR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800

(05/29/2012) The seller has been slowly restoring this.  Look solid, though it isn’t a perfect restoration which the seller notes.

“1945 Willys MB. Original WWII Jeep. Painted a year and a half ago in the correct shade of OD green. Body is straight and is a real head turner. Original motor is rebuilt with less than 30 miles on it. Runs perfect, starts instantly. 12V conversion. Has wrangler seats. Was converted into a civilian jeep years ago and I have been in the process of putting it all back. Really cool jeep. Tires are 7.50x16s with correct 16″ military wheels. Keep in mind this is NOT a perfect restoration. I never intended it to be, but it is a really cool Jeep.
What I am looking for is a muscle car or hot rod to trade for. When I say muscle car, I mean pre-1972 and a V8. I value the Jeep at around $7500 so let me know what you have.L”
