This appears to have a later model rear end and windshield.  What’s that stick out the rear passenger’s side?

“1941 Willys Quartermasters Jeep. Excellent body and undercarriage. Solid floor pan, no rust, stored indoors. Ran great when parked app. seven years ago. Now needs starter solenoid, water pump, and carb kit. Engine turns freely. Great for the ranch or lease. Have title.”

1940s MB Santa Margarita, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3000

(03/28/2010) This has a few updates.

“We aren’t too sure of what exact year it is but we did find out that it could be in between the years of 41-51 body style. The engine we know was taken out of another jeep a little newer then the body. Its an F-head with the valve cover on top so it was taken out of a jeep from the years 53-63. We found that it’s very common for people to switch out the engines from that year because it’s better performance.

The jeep has very little rust and all of it is surface rust that we can find. It doesn’t have a transmission unfortunately or i would be driving it. i have a magazine that sells parts for jeeps and we found a transmission for it and it would only cost about 1500 dollars which isn’t bad for this old of a jeep. I would fix it up myself but i don’t have money and i really need a vehicle. Right now it’s an open title. I want to sell for $3000 OBO”

Another Tipped Jeep gets some work ….

A while back, Tom told me his dad has stories from WWII about flipping Jeeps on their side to work on them.  After some digging, he managed to locate this for our viewing pleasure.  Many Thanks Tom!  See some other tipped jeeps here.

1942 Slat Grille (no jockey box) MB Goffstown, NH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900

(10/21/2010) Here’s an early Slattie.

“This is  a 1942 Willys Slat Grill MB. Its a project I bought years ago and has been sitting in collection mode ever since. Meaning I have been accumulating the parts to restore her. I decided I wasn’t likely to get to this project or my #277 45 CJ so I’m letting them go. The 45 is gone so here goes the Slatty. I’m selling it just as I bought it with the exception of it now has the original slat grill on it as when I bought it someone had put a stamped MB grill on it. Guess they thought it looked better. The serial number of the slat is 112200 and the body tag and frame tag both match. The 3 tags are still on the dash but one has a small piece cut out of it for some unknown reason.The engine SN is MB219002 which I believe is a later motor. I’ve never tried to start it, but the motor turns freely. The transmission is original with the right hand fill and I believe the transfer case is original as well. The transmission and transfer case are stuck in gear as it sat outside for many years before I bought it. I’ve never tried to free them up or look at them. The drive shafts are disconnected so you can move it. I believe the spare tire carrier is correct. It has the “gas” gage and the 30 amp meter. The key switch is still there with the key. The windshield frame is rock solid. The hood has a round hole cut in it. It does have the riveted “slat grill” oil pan. The frame is good. It has one of the 2 hinge tool box lids in place with the lock. The drivers seat is the original split back rail but the pan has been opened up for the larger filler. Take a look at the pictures and if you have any questions just ask. If it doesn’t sell I’m going to spend a few hours on it and see if I can get it running and driving….”

An old Wally Cohnish sort of Jeep

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

Many readers will remember last May’s explosive expose on the Wally Cohn custom ‘jeep’ built in Germany.  Ok, so maybe it wasn’t an explosion heard round the world, but there were a few of us who were interested.

Well, along those lines I found a MB/GPW at Hemmings which had been modified with fenders that brought the Wally Jeep to mind.  Here are some pics from the Hemmings Post.

See all the images at Hemmings:

Here’s Wally’s Jeep for comparison:

Year? MB/GPW Bentonia, Ms **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  Brian picked this up today.  He reports it has a near perfect GPW body with a MB frame. The engine has a Ford head with a 2a or 3a block. It has a T84. It came with a 3a windshield.

This appears to be sagging a bit.  The body doesn’t appear too bad, but can’t tell for sure.

“Bought to restore and lost interest….. Great for restoring! Has only one rust hole on the side”

Museums: MB at the Cole Land Transporation Museum

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

This MB is located at the Cole Land Transporation Museum in Bangor, Maine, and has an interesting history.  According to the museum’s website, “his 1945 jeep served with the U.S. Army during World War II in Europe. After the war, it was given to the French government (French nomenclature in still on the dashboard). It was rebuilt by the French, declared surplus, and shipped to Duryea Motors, Brockport, New York in 1982. Galen Cole purchased it for display in the Museum.

Perhaps its greatest claim to fame is that the mold for the Maine World War II Veterans Memorial, located on the Museum’s grounds, was formed around this jeep; therefore, the jeep that is the focus of the Memorial is an exact replica of this jeep. It was chosen as the symbol of WWII because personnel of all branches of the service during that war used jeeps-whether generals, admirals, or privates.”
