1942 MB Chanute, Ks eBay

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

It’s not entirely stock, but looks solid.

“For your consideration is my 1942 Willys MB Army Jeep.  I restored this Jeep several years ago and it gets used very little so I have decided to part with it.  When restoring the Jeep I took the body off of the frame and installed new brakes (wheel cylinders, pads, master cylinder, brake lines) and painted the frame.  I also undercoated the body.  The engine is a flat head four cylinder but I am not sure it is original to the Jeep.  I was told it was probably a little later model engine and that it had been gone through.  The only thing I have done to the engine was to install new plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, etc.  I also had the carb rebuilt and converted the Jeep to a 12 volt system with new electrical wiring.  The engine sounds very good and does not smoke or use oil.  The transmission and transfer case do work.  I had the transmission rebuilt and it works well but it is sometimes difficult to get into second gear.  It seems to be getting better with use.  All gages are in good working order and the speedometer is new.  The seats have been recovered as can be seen in the pictures.  I also installed a new correct fuel tank and the Jeep has new tires on it.  This Jeep is missing very little to make it complete.  I do not have a top or top bows, what you see in the pics is what I have.”

Hotchkiss M201 ENTAC at Musee Des Blindes, Saumur, France

According to the M201.com website, in 2009 the Musee Des Blindes in Saumur, France, unveiled a Hotchkiss M201 ENTAC.  I do not remember ever seeing one of these.

As far as I can tell, this M201 is the only jeep at this particular museum.  These first and last pics are from this page on the M201 website.  The 2nd pic was on Flicker and taken by Massimo Foti.

Here’s a MB with some potential.  Engine isn’t original.

“This little jeep is in fair condition for a category 5 vehicle. It is military issue jeep made in April 1942 by Willys and is the MB series which was the second year they were produced. Everything is basically there and still mostly OEM. With the exception of the engine. It has a Ford six cylinder in it now. All the gauges are intact but the seats are not original. If your interested give us a call.

1942 GPW Victorville, Ca **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $950

There’s some value here.

“I have a Ford Jeep built in September 1942 that was disassembled for parts. Has all three tags original to the tub. It was missmatched with a Willys engine and earlier and later Ford stuff, and the engine needs repair to the block. The tub has a rotted floor and needs some welding but is very straight. Chassis is very straight but the rear cross member is damaged. I still have a bunch of parts left like the original Willys engine that needs repair, transmission, transfer case, radiaotor hood, fenders, grill, wheels, axles, drive shafts, and a bunch of other stuff, most has the Ford “F” script including all of the bolts I saved. Some of the parts in the photo are gone already. About 75% complete. $950 for the whole lot.”
