1941 Slat Grille MB Las Vegas, Nv **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** was on eBay

Here’s a slattie project.

“You are bidding on a great restoration project.  I am thinning out my collection because I have a few other rare vehicles that I’m in the process of restoring so some toys must go.  This one up for auction is a 1941 Willys slat grill.  It does have rust in the usual places such as front floors, fuel tank and driver side panel area.  The jeep has been media blasted from top to bottom but surface rust is starting due to the fact that it was not primered.  I was hoping to start restoration sooner but other projects have forced me to push it aside which is why I am selling.  The frame is very solid and has also been blasted.  I do have a front bumper and a rear crossmember that will go with the jeep.  As can be seen in the pictures, the tail panel has been messed with and will need to be fixed.   The jeep comes with a complete MB motor but it is not original to the car as the vin is very high.  I do have one front seat that will go with the jeep and a back seat.  The jeep does have the original low windshield with the early brass windshield clamps which are hard to find.  The jeep also comes with some hard to find parts such as the solid wheels and the original pancake air cleaner. ”

This looks solid at first glance, however it is missing the steps, suggesting that the body needs closer inspection.

1940? Model? Southwest Iowa $450

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Lester reports this *might* be a scam, as 936 is a Texas area code rather than a Iowa code. Of course, cell numbers are so portable, of which I’m a perfect example (I have a cali area code), that it’s not a definitive sign.

No pics.  The seller will text a pic. I’m gonna guess this is either a MB/GPW or CJ-2A.

“It needs some work. Its seventy years old. The body is in good shape for the age. It has the origanal engine, trany, as far as I know. Can send pic text. Call or text Joel 936-230-4650”

Sgt. Richard A. Penry, Congressional Medal of Honor Memorial Military Museum

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

Located in Petaluma, California, The Richard Penry Medal of Honor Memorial Military Museum appears to have two Willys.  One is well restored (though I have a question) and the Second one is part of a diorama and tipped on its side.

Here’s the first, a Slat Grille MB.  These images are from Wikipedia.  My question is … isn’t that front cross member from a GPW and not a MB? Or am I missing something?

The back of this MB:

Here’s the tipped over Willys.  I couldn’t find a better pic of this.
