This is an unusual project. Maybe it’s a swamp rig?

Year? MB Irvine, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750. Now listed here.

This highly modified MB has been floating around Facebook a few days. Listed as a 1941, it appears to be an MB of some vintage. Someone invested quite a bit of time with the mods, especially the door and top system. The fenders and bumper look to me like parts form a Philippine Jeepney.

“Selling a rare 41 Willy’s coupe been in storage years ! Solid orig engine n drive train not Running suicide doors 4X4 great project to restore ! Missing seats”

1962 Wagon Jalopy Islamorada, FL $7500

• CATEGORIES: Unusual, Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.

If you are looking for something different, this might fit the bill. It’s a custom body on a 1962 wagon chassis.

1960 DJ-3A Cleveland, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A, Wood bodies • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.

This appears to be a DJ-3A with the slanted opening. I wonder how much weight that wood adds. The rear fuel inlet is not longer in the back, so I wonder how you fill it with fuel (maybe it’s just sitting in the rear?).

1957 Odd Truck Cheboygan, MI $650

• CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Something unusual is afoot with this oddity. It might be a truck that’s been placed on a CJ chassis. Note how the doors have been cut.

Modified Canadian MB

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This Canadian jeep has some unusual modifications. The image was featured at https://captainstevens.com/military/mv/mvmarkings/, which takes a look at Canadian Military Vehicle marketings.

Photo Credit: http://Captainstevens.com W-LU GOC_4th Canadian Armoured Division (Canadian Army PA211629_jpeg) This appears to the the same jeep as in the colour photo above, just after it was customized for the General Officer Commanding 4 Canadian Armoured Division. They added roof, doors, flag staff and light and extension on rear of vehicle. It is carrying at least one wireless set.

It’s believed that this is the front of the above jeep. As you can see, a rounded topper has been added to the windshield. It appears to be a nice bit of work.  The windshield has also been converted into a vertical windshield.

Chuck shared this customized and stretched truck. It’s expensive, but it would be even more expensive if you had to build it your self.
