1942 Slat Grille MB Modesto, CA **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown.

“Here is a very early 1942 Willys MB jeep. It is the very last run of slat grills that had the glovebox. It has a slat grill frame with the short top straps and a willys script tub. It also has slat grill air deflectors. The jeep has a F head motor installed that turns over. The jeep will probably run with very little effort. I do have a WWII Willys MB engine that I would be willing to sell separately to the high bidder. I am starting the bidding at $100 with no reserve so please bid accordingly. What you see is what you get and please ask any questions you have. There is no title but I can obtain one. It will take a month or so and the winning bidder will have to cover the fees. I can help shipping this jeep anywhere in the world.”

Photo of Slat Grilles in an Army Convoy on a Snow Lined Road on eBay

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

This is a neat old photograph. The first two vehicles are slat grille MBs.

“This is a gloss finish 8″ x 10″ black and white photograph of a WWII Era military convoy traveling on a cleared road between majestic snow covered fir trees. It would be nice to know their destination. Does it look cold! There are no markings on the back of this picture, but it is pristine and very professional. I am selling numerous pictures taken during the WWII era which are of great historical interest and need to be preserved. Many are from Kashmir and other places in the Far East where the previous owner was stationed. The owner was a photographer for the military.”

1942 MB Slat Grille Alberta, Canada **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.

Looks like a good restoration.

“Very rare 1942 Willys ‘Slat Grill’ MB with original numbers matching 4 cylinder 60 hp, 134ci L-head ‘Go Devil’ engine with only 1660 miles on it!. Only 200 ‘slat grills’ are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to Army Motors, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association. The last Willys Slat Grill was S/N 125807 – this one is SN 124833 and was delivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. A full frame-off rebuild was completed in 2009 and she has appeared at hanger dances, parades, Veteran Day’s events, air shows, and USO shows. This is a true show vehicle and not something you take to the bush for hunting. It comes complete with an all canvas top, shovel and axe attached to the side, upgraded brakes, a 12 volt electronic ignition system, and a copy of a M1 Automatic Carbine on the dash. This is a true gem and is garaged – does not sit outside in the weather. A rare opportunity to get a piece of history. Soon enough these will only be found in museums or in private collections. A rare piece of US history to be admired. Shipping or transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. Taylor’s transport does excellent shipping from Canada to USA at reasonable prices. Seller reserves the right to pull the listing if sold before the auction ends. Good luck and thanks for bidding.”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was ON EBAY

(01/15/2012) The body has the Willys Script and appears in good condition. This might be a pre glovebox body!

“You are bidding on a 1941 Willys jeep with a small block 350 chevrolet with a mild cam, headers, edelbrock manifold and a holly carb. This jeep runs great, looks good and has 16 inch rims wrapped in 35 inch mud tires with a full size spare and matching rim.  Please remember you are bidding on a 1941 Willys classic. The only reason that I am selling this is that I’m getting married and the future wife wants a sandrail. ”

1942 MB Slat Grille w/ No Glove Box De Pere, Wi **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.

This has a variety of patches.

“Vintage Willys MB slat grill. Clear 1942 WI Title although can’t verify Vin# because data plates are missing. No glove box, early hubs indicate an early jeep. condition – needs almost everything. I put in new brakes and master cyl some years ago. Still good. Have not fired it up in several years, but it was a smoker. Trans and transfer case worked. Actual milage unknown. the body is poor – many, many patches. Jerry can rigged as gas tank. Includes one combat rim but not correct for a slat grill. Needs complete restoration. Must have had several plow arrangements over the years judging by the front frame horns. I would have parted it out years ago but it is a unique piece of American history and should be preserved as such. It can be resurrected, but not for the faint of heart.”
