UPDATE:  This sold on ebay for $23k

(04/14/2010) This is an UNRESTORED MB in excellent condition.

Quoting Josh, “I think this is a truly rare opportunity to buy probably the nicest unrestored mb in private hands. I’ve known the owner for a number of years now. I can attest to the fact that he only settles for the nicest/correct original parts and knows what is period correct. A true collector, preservationist, and expert.  As far as original goes this jeep is the real deal, top of the line, and something that doesn’t come up for sale.  Whoever ends up with this will jeep not be disappointed.”

The seller writes, “For Sale WWII JEEP: original unrestored complete 1944 Willys MB, in running & driving condition, clear PA title, 5 Goodyear tires, ORIGINAL summer canvas top, windshield cover, half doors, ORD tire pump, hand crank, grease gun, first aid kit, oil can, TM 9-803 manual, fold lube chart, and an extra fuel sump ….are all included. Jeep is located near Harrisburg PA. Please email me for price. I’m looking for serious buyers only! Thank you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9750.

“This is my grandpa’s  jeep.  He has been collecting jeeps since before i was born and has finally begun to sell them.  He used to drive our towns old war veterans around the square in the parade with his jeeps, and that is about the only time he ever took them out of storage.

Its in good condition, and starts up on the first try or two.  The fiberglass antenna is cracked and broken toward the top, and the millage is vard to read due to the numbers cracking and falling off.  It does not have a title.  We took the make shift top off this jeep, but i dont have the pics of it without the top.  It looks much better without it though.”

UPDATE: Dexter was correct … this sports a slat grille.  He also provided some additional info and a pic.

The seller sent the following to Dexter: “This jeep was purchased from cousin in Idaho seven years ago. • It’s been sitting outside, covered, for the past year • The frame number is II3056 [Dexter comment: I see a dash before the 3, but the folks at G503 tell me it’s the 13,506th slattie made] • No glovebox type, with no data plates on the dash • Cousin, Bubba, removed the entire back (With the original WILLYS stamp!), and replaced it with sheet metal • It has body lift • Gas tank moved to the rear seat • He doesn’t want to get rid of it, but his wife has spoken.  The block is cracked.”

“This is a 1942 willys jeep in fairly good condition…..the motor in it has a cracked block. it runs but bubbles in the radiator. I have the original flat head four cylinder motor that was smoking when removed probably bad rings. This jeep has been sitting for a while but DMV is current non-op. call anthony at 593-5074 if interested.”

Dexter forwarded some pics from the seller (thanks!).  This definitel sports a slat grille, along with a hood that could be original.  However, the body is a replacement or off another civilian flattie.

“1941 JEEP WILLY GREAT CONDITION, RUNS EXCELLENT!!! CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED THANKS”

UPDATE:  SOLD

“The Jeep runs great. I’ve had this for several months, and it was (and is), a fun little toy to drive — definitely a head-turner! Just a few days ago, the Jeep experienced a problem of getting out of 1st gear. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m not a mechanic, so I had a someone do a visual inspection, and he informed me that the transmission will need to be dropped and checked out.”

Below are the pics at the time of sale.  You can see some pics from when this flattie was first purchased a few months earlier here.

mb/cj2a Pittsburg, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

It runs and drives.  It is a combo jeep, but the price is good.

“Military Jeep for sale. Yes it runs! Working motor, running gear, transmission. I hate getting rid of it but we’re moving out-of-state and have to figure out how to move 3 vehicles already!
Has: 1942 Ford GPW frame, hood, windshield, grill, and other misc parts (all still have their F stamp visible); 1945 Military engine (running) with new fuel pump; 1946 Willy’s tub and transmission. The transmission is good but the tub is not in great shape.

Needs: seats; fuel tank (we just put the fuel line into a gas tank when we run it); drive shaft (it fell out when we flat towed it to our new place); tires (2 are flat though they’ll hold air long enough to tow it home or put it up on a trailer); We sanded all the old pealing yellow paint off of it and it is primer gray but we never got further than that.

This would make a great parts vehicle (we’ve been told the steering wheel alone is worth $300!) Or for those that are looking to buy a new fabricated tub and throw it on there and have a look-a-like military jeep to play around in (our plan). Or a great starter for a crazy Rock Crawler.
The parts mentioned above are the main F stamped parts so if you’re looking to restore it to a stock gpw it would need a lot. But like I said it’s great as a part donor or casual military jeep lover.

Please note we do not have a title for it, it will be bill of sale only. According to the dmv you just need to get a VIN verification done on it (simple as bringing it down to the CHP office) and DMV will then issue title and registration.  Asking $1200″”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.

This is riding pretty low in the rear.  The flags are a nice touch; probably raised the value another $100.

“1945 MB project. runs and drives- no brakes. has a clear MI title. has MB frame tag and MB stamped motor. i probably can’t answer all of your ?’s- the best thing would be for you to come and see it for yourself. i have done some work to it, but it has a long way to go. i have a spare cj2a tub that has a decent back half that i will include, and a spare radiator.”
