“41 Slat grill MB project. This is has been a running, driving jeep for years. I am selling but have pullet the motor to put in another jeep.

Seats are repros with Beechwood Canvas covers, a set of original split-back seats are included. Four 4 1/2″ 90/90 solid wheels and one 4″ 90/90 solid wheel go with. Also included is a chain drive 638632 block that i believe to be an actual slat grill motor (turns free) and 639660c cylinder head. The registration number on the hood is not original, dod tag and frame tag are missing, but the ser# on the title matches the features present on this jeep, I believe it to be the correct ser#. I have estimated the dod to be Dec 19. Clean title in my name. Serious inquiries only please. Located in SW Indiana, delivery available for a fee.”

This is a project that includes a second slat grille frame and what the seller believes to be is a correct slat-grille engine.

This is listed as a 1942; it has some military parts; and, it has no glove box, so it may have been a slat grille at some point.

Tom shared this early Slat MB.

“1941 Willys MB Army Jeep / Runs Good / No Rust / Rare Early ’41 with the Slat Grille”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was For Trade.

Seller only wants to trade.

“1942 Willys MB slat grill project, early model with no glove box, has postwar engine (turns) , t84 transmission that shifts freely. Frame Looks to be pretty good minus the usual gussets and rear crossmember. Body tub is rough but repairable using new floor pans and a rear panel. Front clip is restorable. Slat grill is pretty nice. Came from Georgia so no title as they didn’t title older vehicles. Has four excellent combat wheels that can or can’t be included depending on deal. I’m looking to trade for a restorable m151a2 jeep , lots of work needed is ok but need a restorable candidate . May also consider a complete m274 mule but mainly looking for m151a2”

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $14,100.

Bill shared this one. The seller claims to not know what this model is, but it has a slat grille and lacks a glove box. It does not have the squared off gas tank. Currently, it’s sitting at $12,100.

“Not a Jeep expert. Found a Ford. So this one goes. Excellent runner. Well maintained. A few small oil leaks. Newly rebuild WW2 transmission. Not sure whatS original and what isn’t. So you will need to ask questions. If your looking for a good runner for re enacting or just cruising around town. This is the Jeep for you.”

Runs and drives.
