UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“1942 Willys MB Slat Grill Jeep.  Serial no. 111847.  Date of delivery is unknown as the main data plate is missing.  Recently purchased from the estate of a long time collector and was found in San Antonio, TX 25 years ago.  Jeep is not running and has not run in many years.  Engine turns over freely and jeep rolls easily.  No obvious cracks in the usual places on the engine.  The engine serial no. is S38361.  It is an original chain drive WWII engine and has a Ford GPW head and water outlet.  Probably replaced by the Army.  Engine has all the early Willys manifolds, orig WO carb. etc.  The body has rust on both front quarter panels and there is a patch in the passenger floor board.  There is little to no rust in the rear tool boxes.

The frame is spectacular no damage, no welded on bumper.  It is near perfect with original gussets and no rust.  The rear crossmember is bent  on one side.  The best WWII Jeep frame that I have ever seen.  Has original GAS and AMMETER w/30-0-30 face.  Jeep sits high and level.  Has Ford GPW springs on the front and the original Willys 9 lear springs on the rear.  It does have a torque reaction spring installed.  Jeep has 4 excellent original combat wheels.  Please study the pictures of the parts.
