“1947? Willys Jeep. No engine and comes with some extra parts. It has not been registered in decades, and the title is missing. I was told it is a 43, but I’m not a jeep expert and several people have told me it is 46 up. I don’t know how to confirm this. Your guess is likely better than mine. It could be fun for someone who has more time than I but it’s a project I can’t find the time to dig into.”

“It is an accurate representation jeep for what one would have looked like in WWII. A serviceable jeep, in a sense. All WWII, but not an all matching jeep.

It has an MB TUB, with a GPW frame. It is not by any means perfect, but would be a great ‘driver jeep’ and is mechanically near perfect.

Problems would be…

-Slight Rust on frame (can show pictures)… Around a foot strip that would use repair
-One blackout light needs replaced
-Windshield fold out needs fixed

Besides that it is a very nice jeep.

Please email me for more pictures & I will get them sent your way.

I can work with you on shipping anywhere in the lower 48 US states.”

“1944 Willys MB with ¼ ton trailer. Sold as a set only.
Excellent condition, been garaged.
Serial # MB 340573
DOD: First week of June 1944
Clear Oregon title for both trailer and jeep.

Vehicle was purchased from a friend of mine in about 2002. I have records of its ownership back to the early 70’s and some correspondence back to the early 60’s. Between 2002 and 2003 the body and frame were separated, engine, transmission and transfer case removed. Frame and tub were sandblasted, primed and painted. There was some minor rust repair done, and the fuel tank well and the fuel tank were replaced due to corrosion. Front frame bumper brackets were replaced as well as the front bumper. Top frame and brackets are replacements.

The wiring harness was replaced with a period copy. The tires are aftermarket replacements, and the combat wheels were purchased as second hand items, sandblasted and painted. Seat covers are aftermarket copies. To the best of my knowledge the rest is original, save some fasteners and other small components. The goal from the beginning was to repair the major issues and re-paint to original military color leaving as much untouched as possible.

Has mods, but not clear what all has been done.

“Built in August of 1942 this is an early war Jeep that saw it all, rolling off the assembly line the week we invaded Guadalcanal and months before we landed in North Africa.

I am going to say it needs total restoration as I don’t want to nit pick with a bunch of tire kickers – though others would call it parade ready. It is a good solid Jeep that has minimal rust with solid metal in the floor (one spot under passenger seat. Some rust in hat channels and tool indents though the gas tank well is solid.

Engine looks like it has a civilian Willys head on a pre-war Go-Devil engine.

I put 5 new tires and tubes on it recently. I also added the top bows and while all the hardware is great, I am not happy with the quality of the bows. Still, they come with the Jeep. I also put the original WW2 front hubs back on it and got rid of the postwar lock-out hubs you see in some of the pictures. I have the front seat back pad I just took it off temporarily to accommodate my “front pad” if you know what I mean. Also, replaced windshield rubber and added wipers recently.

Pictures in the ad go from more to less recent. It does have a heavy front bumper with a tow bar that comes with it. Bumper gussets are present and intact though one has a crack. Front serial number plate is still present on the front frame member. It runs, drives and stops fine and 4WD and Hi-Lo work as they should. As I said this is a solid restoration candidate and a way to help a worthy cause at the same time.

I am aware that the price may be considered relatively high-ish but I am not overly interested in selling it other than as a means to help a charitable cause”
