“Slatgrille Willys jeep, of the roughly 650,000 jeeps made in WWII only the first 26,000 were “slatgrilles” this jeep is rough with a ton of bondo and fiberglass slathered everywhere but the tub is still restorable, I have repaired much worse. It has the original axles, t84 trans and transfer case. From the front crossmember to the rear the frame is very solid but the original front frame horns have been heavily modified and need replacements. The motor is not original and total junk. It comes with a bill of sale. I do have a 1942 title i will throw in. I may trade for a less rare but better condition military or Cj2a project, an M151 project would definitely get my attention. 570 two38 1591.”

Gpw motor

Overall this Willy’s is a perfect candidate for someone who loves WW2 jeeps. Will make a great restoration project for someone. Body does hold some bondo but to be expected with the original body. Floor plans are solid. Frame looks good. Very little rust on the undercarriage, minus the usual gussets.

Very rare only 25,000 of them produced.

“41 Slat grill MB project. This is has been a running, driving jeep for years. I am selling but have pullet the motor to put in another jeep.

Seats are repros with Beechwood Canvas covers, a set of original split-back seats are included. Four 4 1/2″ 90/90 solid wheels and one 4″ 90/90 solid wheel go with. Also included is a chain drive 638632 block that i believe to be an actual slat grill motor (turns free) and 639660c cylinder head. The registration number on the hood is not original, dod tag and frame tag are missing, but the ser# on the title matches the features present on this jeep, I believe it to be the correct ser#. I have estimated the dod to be Dec 19. Clean title in my name. Serious inquiries only please. Located in SW Indiana, delivery available for a fee.”
