“This Willys MB is said to have been refurbished in Europe and was imported to the United States before it was purchased by the current owner in 2017. The truck is finished in olive drab green with US Army–style graphics, and power comes from a 134ci “Go-Devil” flathead inline-four paired with a three-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, military tires, a rear-mounted spare, turn signals, a folding windshield, a tan soft top, a rear pintle hitch, pioneer tools, a jerrycan, seats with tan canvas cushions, a dash-mounted rifle holder, and radio equipment. The accompanying single-axle utility trailer is equipped with taillights, a canvas top panel, and troop-style seating with tan cushions. This Willys MB and trailer are now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with canvas doors and side panels, an inoperable rifle, and Arizona titles for both the Willys and the trailer.”

“Purchased as a non-running Jeep from behind a barn in Memphis TN. Rebuilt as a project during Covid lockdown. Flat-head 60hp Go Devil engine converted to 12v, and new wiring and gauges installed throughout. Disk brakes added to the front to aid in drivability, and the front seats have been extended rearward into the rear fenders to allow a little more clearance between the steering wheel and the driver. Frame is powder coated. Axles, transmission/transfer case, and motor are all powder coated then rebuilt. Body work and painting performed off-the-frame at Fenix Automotive (https://www.fenixgarage.com/), and the full underside of the body is painted the same as the top side.”

This is an estate sale. Looks like it was well-loved.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3519161151731103/

“This is titled as a 1944 Willy’s Jeep that presents well as a WW2 era Jeep and runs and drives as it should. The body is a reproduction and there are reproduction and later Willys era parts but it is still a very correct looking, rust free example and is in amazing condition and ready to enjoy. It has had a very long term elderly owner, kept in temperature controlled storage and being sold to settle an estate. Also included are WW2 accessories including helmets, a 2 way radio, gas mask and more. This Jeep is about as nice as you will find. More photos are available upon request. $18,500 buys it. If listed, the Jeep is still available. Located in Waukesha, Wisconsin.”

“Sierra Classics Imports is proud to present this exceptionally mean 1942 Willys. The off-road machine is finished in a nice red paint with chrome diamond plating covering much of the car. The 283 cubic inch motor came from a 1961 Corvette and sounds loud and mean with the power to back it up. The 283 is linked up with a 4 speed manual transmission with Worn overdrive. The car has 11 inch drum brakes all the way around stopping 10×15 inch wheels and 33 inch tires. The Willys also has tilt steering as well as a full top a new radiator and a new water pump. This is an excellent Willys and would be a hard charging fun toy for anyone who wants to go off road with some oomf. Give us a call if you have any questions!”
