This is unusual. Seems to have some MB parts and custom parts.

“I HAVE A OLD WILLYS JEEP THAT HAS BEEN MY GARAGE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS. IT HAS A 1942 FORD TRUCK FRAME APPERANTLY BUT I AM NOT SURE OF ALL THE SPECIFICS. I PULLED IT OUT CHANGED THE OIL, OILED THE GENERATOR, PRIMED THE FUEL PUMP AND CLEANED THE POINTS AND BOOM, IT STARTED UP. IT HAS A BIKINI TOP TO IT. I GOT THIS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. I NEVER LICENSED IT. IT HAS A REGISTRATION PAPER DATING TO THE 60S. I SPOKE WITH DMV THIS WEEK AND THEY SAID MADISON SPECIAL REGISTRATION CAN TITLE THIS. THIS IS AN AS IS SALE. BATTERY IS DEAD SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO BRING ONE. OR I CAN PROVIDE ONE TEMPORARILY SO YOU CAN HEAR IT RUN.”

1945 MB Sold at Estate Auction for $3450

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

Joe reported the following:  Wanted to share some pics of a Willys MB, delivery date 3/8/45, that was auctioned in a South Bethany Beach, Delaware estate sale on Saturday, May 15, 2015. Winning bid was $3,450. The jeep appeared to be mostly complete with a majority of hard-to-find-items intact including a tandem tow bar but had lots of surface rust with only one area of rust-through. The motor is seized. Title status was unknown at the time of sale. Proves once again that these little gems are still out there, even after 70 years!!!

1943 MB? East Wenatchee, WA $3500

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

Of course, it isn’t all stock, but still worth a look. It kind of runs. McLeary is a wet area, so check for rust.

“Hey there, you are looking at a stock Willy’s Flat fender with a L head ford 134 4 cylinder in it. I helped my brother in law out who needed cash, but really do not have the room or time for another jeep project. My father in law did a full brake job,and tune up 4 years ago, and the jeep has not been on the road since. I went to Mcleary, Wa with a battery, 5 gallons of fresh gas and a trailer. I was able to get it running and drive it onto the trailer in just a few mins. It will need lots of tinkering to make it a driver, but the bones are all there and in good shape. Please not trades, or payments. Just looking to recoup my costs. 19k miles on the Odometer, but who knows at this age. ”

1942 MB Shipshewana, IN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

(03/29/2015)  “Description: For sale is a 1942 Willys MB, date of delivery 12-2-42. I brought it home and cleaned it up and thought about parading around after restoration, or even driving it the way it is because it looks evil. Then it hit me that I’m leaving for college in the fall and won’t have the time (or money) this Jeep deserves. I’m finishing up a full restoration now. After the beast survived the war, it was sold as surplus to a farmer in southern Indiana. He used it to pull and haul equipment from his lake house to the farm. Unfortunately it was never titled because there was never a reason to, but I will provide the past two bill of sales and make another highly informative one. The body is rough but savable and the floor is very solid. It has a 2A windshield and CJ rims. Mechanically it has a truck engine and T90 tranny; the engine/tranny is free and was told it last ran about 5 years ago. The frame is very solid and matches the body serial numbers. It has the full floating rear end and correct front end. On the hood the original military numbers are peeking out. This veteran is definitely a candidate for restoration or run it the way it is, there’s something special in a non-restored Jeep too. I hate to see it sitting around for years while I get on my feet and would rather see someone else enjoy it.

I also have a whole original MB front half body leftover from my restoration. The pieces are very solid and have a few little patches on them (inside). Both fenders have surface pitting that can be filled in, and I already filled in the hood. The hood is slightly warped down on the driver side and the grille has a slight bend on the end. On the fenders, the reinforcements aren’t rusted out like most others. As a whole, all these pieces are solid on the usual rotted out places and in great condition. I’d like to get $400 out of them, or would do some trading for an MB canvas top!”
