(05/06/2012) “I have a 1945 Jeep MB for sale. It has everything right with it and it has everything wrong with it. By that I mean that most components show wear, but they are all there in the original form. Most are the original to the Jeep. The engine, frame, body, and trans #’s match and most other components are the original that came with the vehicle, even the horn. Its got a little rust in the common areas, but the body is the one that came from the factory. Of course there are replacement parts but they are high quality reproductions. The tires are virtually new NDT (~100 miles) and the wheels are split rims. The jeep is not “modified” or “modernized”. It is a good example of an original vehicle, perfect for someone who wants to just drive it or totally restore it.
If you are interested, I can send some photos. Price $ 9000.+ depending on response to ad.
Thank you,
Alex”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks good.
“For sale is an original 1942 military Willy’s Jeep – see scanned documents
– A little history – This was a Naval Jeep stationed in Rhode Island and was sold to the Town of Warren Rhode Island on October 15th 1953. It was then sold to the first civilian owner. This jeep was purchased from this owner’s family in 2002. Please see the attached original documents of these transactions.
This Jeep was thoroughly restored from the frame up by Russell’s Military Vehicles of Cairo, Georgia, USA, a member of the MVPA. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volt. The Jeep starts and runs great! All of the gears work, and it shifts easily. This jeep is in great condition for driving around or just looking at!”
UPDATE: Was $17,500. **SOLD**
“I am reluctantly selling this beautiful military piece of history. This is a Willys MB Jeep manufactured on February 6, 1943.

It has the original body with no rust and new paint. The accessories include lube chart (1944), gas can (1945), grease gun, fire extinguisher, oil squirt can, hand crank, and tire pump. It has a brand new master cylinder, wheel cylinder kits (4), and new shoes on all wheels. It has a new top with bows. It has an original Federal siren and all black out lights. It has a relatively new battery purchased from NAPA (12 volt) on 11-14-2010. It is still in warranty. It has brand new rubber molding around the windshield and windshield frame. It has five authentic combat wheels (not reproductions) and one new tube. The tires were replaced and new by previous owner. It has an aged manila tow rope with woven eye-knot ends wrapped on front bumper. A Jeep Technical Manual TM9-803 is included. This is a show quality restored jeep with a clear TEXAS title.

Other information
This classic war jeep was rebuilt from the frame up in both Texas and at the highly respected Northland Diesel in Bellingham, Washington. The engine was worked from the crankshaft up, and the transmission, transfer case, and differentials were likewise inspected and rebuilt as required. Items include a new wiring harness, tires on combat wheels, rebuilt carburetor, new seats and paint. In fact every item put back into service with this classic vehicle has been inspected and brought to standard. The owner’s intention was to have this vehicle look and perform like the day it was issued back in 1944. Receipts are available.
This vehicle has well over $28,000.00 invested in purchase and restoration, and is truly a showroom classic.
Also available and reasonably priced are an all-weather top, sides, and rigid doors from Beachwood Canvas (new @ $1350.00in original box), a set of five new road wheels on combat rims (cost new $1370.00) and other original equipment.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,850.
(05/03/2012) If accurate, this would be a slat grille tub with a glove box.
“Rebuilt engine MB 42734, Frame off restore, 6 volt, new tires, original horn goes beep beep, gauges, canvas top, all lights and gauges work, new wiring, paint, clear Utah title, original zinc data plates, tub number 25410. Engine, wiring, paint were all done by professionals who restore military vehicles. Included but not shown are seat cushions, a tow chain and one set of tire chains.”
The fact that this body has a drain hole by the step, but no gas inlet is a little puzzling. It has full floaters in the rear, but also has a tail gate. The windshield is CJ-2A. The hood and fenders are civilian, while the grille is ww2. This appears to be a mutt of a jeep to me.
“1941 Jeep Willys… The world war two 4×4 original ! Engine was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago and have documentation for rebuild…
It is a very cool ride to have. Had it sitting for a few years in storage( inside)
It has an electric fuel pump but still has all original equipment too.
Runs good and needs to be registered if you plan on driving on the street…
It has the original Tire setup also….. a true piece of history you can drive and show off.
Paint is worn a bit but virtually no rust….
Ive posted pics for you to see, havent even washed it ! lol It has a TOW bar so you can pull behind RV or Truck…
Needs a battery and thats all !
Only serious buyers ! no Low-ballers….. remember, this is a piece of American History”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
I’m curious to know if the plaque from 1954 on the dash reflects a motor pool upgrade.
“Original 1943 Military Jeep/ Willys Has all old equipment. Plaques on dash show origin and second plaque shows military update in 1954 to overhead carb. Hood has square box they made to accommodate it. Good tires, upholstery, engine, tranny and brakes all professionally gone over. Needs gas pump.”
