Hey guys. I’m looking at a crusty, rusty, ugly 1945 MB. I mean, it’s hideous, but it’s a Willys MB! Someone has definitely done some mods to this truck over the years. Some of the obvious changes are a hard top/doors, turn signals on the fenders, multiple coats of paint, and a home built rear bumper. The most obvious change is a hole hacked in the hood that was covered by a homemade hood scoop to fit the later F Head Hurricane engine. I’ve been looking for a military truck to use off road at events like the Haspin and Rausch Creek rallies, so a clean, straight body is not a priority. If I buy it, I would probably go through the entire drivetrain to make sure it runs, drives and stops. Then, I would install a six point roll cage and some meaty mud tires and call it good.
So, now for the famous internet forum question, what do you guys think it’s worth? The seller is asking $1500 OBO. I was thinking $1000 would be fair based on condition and the fact that it hasn’t run in over a decade. Thoughts? Thanks!
