1945 MB Miami, FL **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

(06/14/2012) Well, this has an unusual history.

“This Jeep Willys Overland MB 1946 was purchased from an Italian Army Surplus Sale during the sixties, subsequently the car was restored for my late Mother by Carrozzeria Pavesi Rolls Royce and Bentley, Milano, Italy. The restoration was focused on making a glamorous car with all original parts, just the roof and side panels are a work of art…. The dashboard was fitted with a wood panel to increase the good look and the original plates where fitted to the glove compartment box door instead of the engine compartment. The car is fitted with a Webasto gas heather for cold climates. The car was stationed in St. Tropez, France for many years and then was sent to the Swiss Alps in St. Moritz where it stayed until I imported it into the US in 2003. It is a great car, all systems works very good, steering, brakes, engine, etc… it would make a great addition to a Summer/Winter Home, it is great on snow, beats any modern car…. The attention to details in this car is fabulous.”

1942 MB? Carl Junction, MO **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500.

(03/15/2012) Hard to say just how much value is here.

“I DO have a Kansas title to it!!
The running gear and engine seem to be in working order, the engine does turn over freely, and was last running about 10 years ago.
There is a “rebuild tag on the engine dated 12/12/44. The engine and transmission (T84) are both Ford and have the “F” on the bolts. The oil filter is also marked for ARMY use.
It has the two front seats, glove box on the passenger side( one information plate is missing), the fire extinguisher bracket is still intact, and the original foot pedals are there.  ALSO, throwing in a ton of extra parts!!

The tub is rough (mainly floor pan rust), but easy to restore, the frame has previous damage the the front horns,
and has been sitting for 45 years. The fenders are in good condition, but them and the hood are homemade (good looking work though).
Things that are missing is the back seat, windshield frame, and rear drive shaft, and some gauges.
If you have more questions feel free to ask”

1944 MB Weymouth, MA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This has no title and needs work.

“elling this vehicle as parts. There is no title with this vehicle, I chose “salvage” because it was a required field. THE JEEP HAS NO TITLE. It was used for years off road as a plow and not registered or titled . Serial # 360409, 8/10/44. The engine is newer and from a civilian Jeep, the transmission and transfer case are original MB. The engine smokes and will need to be rebuilt if used. The engine ran long enough to determine that it will shift through the gears and not overheat. Steering is OK and the brakes are poor at best. Now for the good part: The body is almost rot free, floors, and tool box bottoms are solid. The body does have bondo and extra holes but overall an excellent candidate for restoration. The front frame horns have had a plow frame welded to them but are in amazing shape and can be brought back with carefull metal removal. 3 combat rims are included. Milage is listed as 99,999 but I have no idea of actual milage. Buyer is responsible for transportation, but we will assist with loading if needed.”

It sure looks like there are some parts worth saving.  This was taken in The Republic of Djibouti, Africa, and posted on Flickr.  After some searching, I discovered these are probably Hotchkiss (see m201 website).
