Willys Aero going to be a little bit of a lift here on this one, but looking it over if you needed some stuff and were local to the area might be a good visit. There is another Aero next to this one so never know what’s available. The seats in this are pretty wild, it must have some back stories.

This seems worth a look. Someone did a nice job of fitting that Ford hardtop onto the jeep.

“This is a legit ’43 Willys MB GPW (WW2 Jeep) with some killer, custom additions! It’s mostly stock, at someone point someone swapped in a ‘newer’ F-Head engine and added the hood bump to clear the carburetor. A cab roof and rear panel were cut from a ’32-33 Ford pickup and fit onto the MB, with the factory visor! The hard doors are home-built. It also has a custom rear step bumper, a couple 5 gallon gas cans in the bed, a draw bar for towing and a killer bench seat in great condition! The body is pretty straight and fairly solid, but there are some spots of rust. Mostly the floor supports under the ‘bed’, as it held water over the years. Unfortunately the F-Head engine is locked up solid… it’ll need a new engine. I do have a clean title in hand for it.”

“Streamlined” Jeeps From the Pacific

UPDATE II: Here’s another, similar ‘streamlined’ jeep posted by Mike Haines on Facebook. Note that this one appears to use a standard windshield and, thus, has a flatter cowl than the ones seen below:

========================

UPDATE FROM Jan 7, 2021: This post has been updated with a better version of the video:

The photos below are snapshots from the above video. They resemble the jeep shown below that was built by Wayne K. Pike. It was built by members of the 9th Service Squadron at the 13th Army Air Base on the island of Moratai. Note that it has a chrome/stainless trim strip absent from the car featured in the Popular Mechanics article below.

1946 CJ-2A Nashville, TN $3000

• CATEGORIES: Sedan-jeep • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $3000.

(08/19/2023) Tom shared this CJ-2A with some type of sedan or truck top. If the grille is original, this is likely a 1947 or later model.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/310828624742465

“Willys Jeep. New brakes, master cylinder and entire brakes. Wheels blasted and painted and new tires and tubes. New seats with original frames. This Jeep has a PTO but needs the shaft. Runs and drives good but motor could use a rebuild. New gas tank and lines the body is rough but could be used depending on what you plan to do with the Jeep. Battery does NOT come wit it. Great to restore or just continue to use as is. The cab was added from an old truck many years ago and it works pretty good. This is your chance to own a classic Willys.”

1943 MB Totnes, England £13,000

• CATEGORIES: Features, MB, Sedan-jeep • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This modified jeep has benign storage for about four decades. It’s supposedly a Metamet prototype, so, if true, this should be of interest to Metamet fans.
