1941 Willys MB Slat

Post by njjeeper » Sat Oct 01, 2022 10:41 am

FOR SALE: 1941 Willys MB Slat Jeep.
I spent the last 3 years building this jeep. It has nearly all the hard to find slat parts. Ill try and list out as much as I can below, but everything has been gone through and restored. It runs and drives great!
Body:
Serial Number: 101173
Body Tub Number: 3567
All the sheet metal from the front seats forward is original to the jeep. Cowl, tunnel, firewall, hood, fenders, grill, windshield, etc. The rear of the tub is from an old body(don’t know what year it was) I found and grafted in. The rear panel is new from JMP. Has correct low windshield, square sump, etc. New glass. Front seats are split back and correct. See pics for details and condition.
Frame is correct slat frame, all 4 corners rebuilt and straightened. Early batt tray, short straps, etc.
Engine
Engine Serial: 101571
Completely rebuilt from the bare block. Fully machined, new bearings, NOS rods and pistons, rings, cam, crank, etc. Runs great and has lots of power. No air cleaner or crossover. Correct radiator for a slat is there and working well. New engine mounts, water pump, rebuilt starter, rebuilt generator, new clutch, new pressure plate, new flywheel. Everything has been done.
Suspension:
Original MB spring packs in the correct leaf count for a slat. Front axle steering is all new and rebuilt. Slat comes with 2 NOS ring an pinion kits as spares. Steering box is the correct early one, tie rods and other bushing and bearings all new. Rear Axle is correct early version with scallops. Axles are both dated 11/41 so they are likely original to the jeep.
Brakes:
New master cylinder(with switch), new metal lines, new rubber hoses, new shoes, spring and wheel cylinders. Basically everything new here for safely.
Gauges:
Gauges all work and are in the pics to verify the Slat versions(Temp gauge is new). Speedometer is original and works(when spun by a drill), however its stiff and needs a rebuild. Has a new cable but Im leaving it unhooked until its rebuilt. Don’t want to risk damaging it. GAS gauge and all others work well and are connected.
Electrical:
New wiring harness, headlights, rear bub set, blackout lights. Original headlight switch(rebuilt). Correct early voltage regulator(original insides, works great). Has FIlterette under dash and its connected. New fuel sender, correct but repro horn.
I have a full set of pictures from the restoration process for the person who buys it. Shows what I started with and how it all came together.

Asking $43k USD but taking offers.

I sent a listing for this into Supply Line with a price of $40k so wanted to update here to the new price. Could also be interested in trades.

I’m going to try and bring this to the MTA show this weekend with a for sale sign on it. Lots of interest from Europe but I really want to keep the sale in the USA if possible.

New price: $28k

Did you ever get an air cleaner for it? What about that hole in the dash just to the right of the light switch?
