UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

It drives and runs.  Note the driver’s side entrance has been trimmed down and the back appears to have an addition of some kind.

“For Sale is a 1943 Willy’s Jeep Model MB. This vehicle has been used on a ranch for the last 30 years. It has a flathead 4cylinder engine,( I think it is the original), 4Wheel drive, comes with a snow plow with hydraulics. Tires are all snow type, (one is a little dry cracked on the side but hold air). We have a clear title and bill of sale from 1980. This vehicle is a little rough but does run and drive good. It would be good for a ranch or for restoration or for parts for someone who has another one and needs original parts. Because it is a 1943, jeep history says it was built for the Military so it may have seen time in WWII.”

UPDATE: Dexter was correct … this sports a slat grille.  He also provided some additional info and a pic.

The seller sent the following to Dexter: “This jeep was purchased from cousin in Idaho seven years ago. • It’s been sitting outside, covered, for the past year • The frame number is II3056 [Dexter comment: I see a dash before the 3, but the folks at G503 tell me it’s the 13,506th slattie made] • No glovebox type, with no data plates on the dash • Cousin, Bubba, removed the entire back (With the original WILLYS stamp!), and replaced it with sheet metal • It has body lift • Gas tank moved to the rear seat • He doesn’t want to get rid of it, but his wife has spoken.  The block is cracked.”

“This is a 1942 willys jeep in fairly good condition…..the motor in it has a cracked block. it runs but bubbles in the radiator. I have the original flat head four cylinder motor that was smoking when removed probably bad rings. This jeep has been sitting for a while but DMV is current non-op. call anthony at 593-5074 if interested.”

Dexter forwarded some pics from the seller (thanks!).  This definitel sports a slat grille, along with a hood that could be original.  However, the body is a replacement or off another civilian flattie.

(11/28/2009) The engine doesn’t work.  If it’s only a little issue, then this might be a good deal.
