Well folks....there's no sugar coating this one....its a late model 1945 Willys MB! This Jeep was produced just a few weeks prior to the end of the war contract of the Willys MB military Jeep in 1945 (Data tag dated 8/6/45). The last military MB rolled off the assembly line in early September of '45. (I also have the original data plate, nd the i.d. tag is still in place on the left front frame horn).The floors will need to be replaced as they are rusted through in several areas. I do have the original grill and hood (in excellent primered condition). There is a right NOS (civilian) and used military and two used left front fenders, nd numerous other parts that are not pictured. I have the heavier replacement front bumper along with the rear cross member if needed. The numbers matching engine ran when this first came home (this has been sitting in my garage for the past 7 years), owever, t has a very slight crack in the water-jacket from someone who did not properly winterize it. As these cooling systems only have 7lbs. of pressure I was told by old-time Jeep owners that this was a common problem with these 4 cylinders and was instructed to simply drop some Bars Radiater Stop Leak tablets into the cooling system and that will normally stop any seepage of coolant. I was not as confident as the old timers so I am also including a 1945 MB engine produced a couple of weeks prior to mine so it will still be correct for a restoration. It has been magna-fluxed and comes with all internal parts. This MB has a Utah title and was signed off by the Ogden Railway in 1984 where it apparently spent the latter part of its life. (The fellow I bought it from was told the Jeep was originally purchased at a government Air Force base auction before its life with the railroad). I have never retitled it in Georgia.The drive-train is still in place as I have not removed any of the suspension, ngine, rans,etc... It has everything as it did in 1945 (T84 trans.,etc...) I did remove the carb. and some wires, oses,etc... as I started some work but everything else is still in place (I still have the original carburetor and will make sure it is included).The radiator is one of the nicest I've ever seen with only minor damage to the cooling fins (see pic).Here are some of the other items included (some pictured...some not):
