UPDATE:  A Buyer bought this through the ‘buy now’ button. It will be restored.

“You are bidding on a 1942 Slat Grill Willys mb.  The serial number is MB 114517 DOD is 1/27/42 the Toe gusset # is 17920.

The Frame tag and dash data plate match.

Overall the jeep would make a great restoration project. Please take the time to go through all the pictures I’ve attempted to leave nothing out.

The jeep comes with a lot of the hard to find ORIGINAL parts such as an actual slat grill grill, Gas Gauge, 5 mph increment speedo (needs work the needle is broken), 30/30 amp guage, hinged filtertte, Rear seat, top bows, bumper, and an STL pintle.

The body is pretty straight  and solid with the exception of a patch in the passenger floor board, a little rust in that passenger seam, some skimmed areas of body filler on the tub and rust out in the fuel tank sump and shovel area. The hat channels are decent but some will need  a little repair. Again this is a very nice solid start (PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES IN SLIDE SHOW)

The frame is very nice and has the original bumper gussets and frame tag.

The motor does run when hot wired and the jeep rolls easy. The T84 transmission transfer all seemed to function just fine.

The motor is a bit of a mystery as the boss where the serial number should be is completely unstamped.  The casting at the lower part of the engine is correct for what should be in a slat so I think it would pass a two foot test  and I guess you could stamp the boss with what you want if you wanted it to pass for the actual original motor. The head is an early one with the two bolt thermostat.

I do have a number of other parts that will be included such as top bow brackets, body handles, and voltage regulator; These are all pictured in the slide show which has over 160 pics. (IF IT FAILS TO LOAD THE FIRST TIME HIT REFRESH AND if you still you still have problems let me know)

Don’t miss your chance to own this great Slat grill MB project, It has a lot of the hard and nearly impossible to find parts and a ton of potential.
I do have an open clear Idaho title from the last owner and I can put it in my name if this is any what of an issue for you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900

“Tub number: 99803 aprx date of manufacture July 3rd 1944
Titled: Yes
Nomenclature plates: none

Info:
Jeep was originally purchased in 1960’s and used extensively on vineyard land as a family tour vehicle.
The condition of the frame shows some rear cross member damage and the front cross member has a rust hole in it but all is within your normal “fixable” range of condition.
The body tub tool box floors are rotted through and there is patch work to the floors in places.
Modifications include:
Home made tow bar assembly
M38 – CJ front windscreen with no wipers
Front seat frames back rest repaired with newer tubing
No rear seat
No top bows or brackets
No body handles or hardware
Tub was skinned on the front sides and seams bondoed
CJ radiator
Homemade wiring to tail-lights
After market tail-lights
Ford truck wheels- 16 inch rims- 650 mud and snow tires in good shape (no spare)
After market speedometer
Period correct reproduction Temp, oil pressure and voltage meter and key switch.
No nomenclature plates.

Engine and drive-line:
The engine shows a compression reading of
1- 100 lbs
2- 86
3- 85
4- 100
The engine may need a valve adjustment but appears to run fine. Components work off of the original 6 volt system.
The heat riser is stuck and needs to be serviced.
The transmission shifts and performs normally.
Some oil seepage mixed with dirt is present but no major oil leakage on the ground.
Proper air cleaner, cross over tube, oil filter housing. The carburetor is a CJ (636-SA) Carter in good running order.

Conclusion:
This Jeep has been driven slow most all of it’s life. The running gear and motor are in good useable condition. The body is good for hunting and gathering but obviously not for show. A full restoration is possible but the Jeep would need a lot of correct style components so the cost may be prohibitive.
This Jeep would be best used as a….Vineyard Jeep or hunting.”

I thought this looked like a good rig until I noticed someone had defiled an “In N Out Burger” sticker on the dashboard.  Then I actually read the new meaning, “In N Out urge”.  Ok, I can live with that.
