UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $8000.
Starts and runs, but needs brake work.
“This is a barn find. It’s from an estate and been covered up in storage for several decades. It’s a 1943 Willys MB in pretty much original condition. It starts good, runs good and drives good with no smoke but it does need brake work . Transmission and transfer case both shift good and don’t slip out of gear. Good frame, it does need a little floor work but the rest of the body is really solid. I had to clean the fuel system and replace the fuel pump and spark plugs. Other than that and seat belts it seems to be all original. The stock wiring is in pretty good shape, the headlights and taillight work, starter works. Good oil pressure. The manual wipers are good, the engine starting crank is still stored in it’s original position. It comes with five combat rims and Goodyear NDT military tread tires all in good usable condition with no air leaks. This has never been titled and comes with a bill of sale only.”
Nice jeep, looks very complete, not sure why he covered the hood number?
Appropriately from the Toledo craigslist
Mark and Paul my thoughts exactly.no title is not good in Ohio.I wander if this is an older restore?there is blue paint in several spots like the olive drab was painted over the blue.the axe and shovel holders are missing and looks like work was done in that area.would be interesting to look at in person.
I’d forgotten about the title being an issue in Ohio.
Yeah I can vouch for the title problem in Ohio. I brought one home (Ohio) and found that Ohio requires going to small claims court with as much documentation and photos as you can provide and hoping a judge will grant a title. At minimum $150 filing fee to have the case heard with no guarantees you’ll be granted one in the end. It compounds the problem if the Jeep comes from a state that doesn’t title vehicles in the year that it was manufactured.
Buyer beware!
And I wondered about that blue paint too.
I see blue overspray on the gauges in addition to the olive drab repaint.
Is this jeep still available?
Hi Michael,
I have not seen this relisted lately on Craigslist. I’ve updated the post. If I see it back on Craigslist I will send you an email.
