This has been updated with a 59AB Flathead (Mercury?) motor.
“Up for sale is my 1943 Willys MB Jeep.
This California black plate Jeep was last in one family for over 30 years.
It has a clean California title and current registration. MB tag is still intact on the frame.
This Jeep was converted to use a 59AB flathead V8 engine. The flathead starts up, idles, and runs perfectly – no smoke or strange noises. Brand new water pumps, plugs and hoses were just fitted. I will include new original engine frame mounting brackets with the sale if the new owner wishes to convert the Jeep back to the 134 L-head engine.
The body is original, in very good shape, and has lots of character. Has some rust in the usual areas (hat channels, shovel/axe corners of tub). It’s an honest body with no bondo hiding hidden rust holes. The Jeep has some original gauges, lights and switches on the dash. Spare tire and jerry can holder on the rear. A CJ style gate has been added, but can easily be welded back to the original style with a replacement panel.
Comes with some loose original parts, like the brake inspection cover, windshield gun mount brackets, hood latches, etc.
Great fun to drive around town, and gets lots of attention. Just needs a new owner to take care of her. Would make a fun restoration project that you can also drive around right away.”
