1951 CJ-3A Wetumpka, AL eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This runs, but the closeup pics show this is rougher than it first appears.

“This 1951Willis is a running project. Just installed 4 new plugs yesterday-could still useplugs wires, dist. cap but parts house did not have in stock. They also did nothave a brake master cylinder and they were showing 2 different ones and bothwould have to be special ordered-so I am going to sell it like it is. We did aYouTube video of it and adjusted the clutch yesterday. Gas tank was removed-cleanedand sealed and soldered up some leaks. It also has an electric fuel pump.Starter just rebuilt and electrical system has been changed to 12 volt. Originallyit had a pedal on the floor to engage the starter but it’s gone and now has arod hooked to it to engage and disengage

I got this from a friend of mines wife after he passed away earlier this year. They usedit on their hunting land-but has been sitting for a few years and he owned itfor many years. It is not a rust bucketbut it does have some on the step braces. See pictures. Floors are very solid.I bought this with intention of using it as my 4 wheeler but have since gottenme one. I paid her $1,500 cash-and have spent apx $500 in used tires and rims, usedseats, fuel pump, paint, gas tank repairs, plugs and other assorted odd andends. My reserve is 1,800 and a buy me price of $2,200 to recover my money andsome of my time.

Alabama doesnot have title on anything of this age but I do have an open bill of sale and atag receipt where it was last registered in 2004.

He hadpainted it yellow and we repainted it with spray rustolium yellow paint andblack rustolium. The seats are just sitting in there and will need somemodification before it safely be used, (Do not know what happened to originalseats). I also have other seats you could use if you don’t like these. The right rear shock mount where is was welded to the axal is going to need rewelded.

Uncertian of the milage on this as it’s excempt when registerng here.

The 4 wheeldrive system works and hubs lock in and out easy. The windshield is flat glassand has a crack in it-I folded it down and installed a piece of foam rubberwhere it lies on the hood. Has a tow hitch on it and will hook up to a 2” ball.Tires are pretty good so you should be able to tow it to your place-or if youneed me to deliver I will do for $1.00 per mile but do not want to go over 200miles. I will be going to N/East Tennessee in about 2 weeks and have a way to deliver.

I forgot to get some pictures of the motor I will do that soon and add them. If you need any other pictures let me know. Thanks Pat

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

This is a project.

“This posting is for a Ford GPW. The frame and body match serial numbers the vehicle had not engine so I got a different GPW engine and had it gone through…

The engine, transmission, transfercase, started, generator, carb, distributor, have all been rebuild by Louie Larson. The engine has been bench ran on a jig he has. The Jeep is in the process of tearing it down for restoration. The body is in decent shape. Many small items are present. There are many extra parts that go with it. I am taking a loss at this price. The engine is an early GPW engine serial # 6622. Frame horns need to be replaced, clear body work that needs to be done but very solid jeep. I bought the Jeep in Colorado Springs.

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, CJ-2A, Features, Unusual • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

(08/18/2012) The movie Tugger, the Jeep 4×4 Who Wanted to Fly is based on the book by the same name.

“This is a CJ2A that was used as a Movie Promotional Mascott. The Movie “TUGGER, THE JEEP 4X4 WHO WANTED TO FLY” was released in 2005. I bought this CJ2A from the man that owned the Rights to Movie and the Promotional Items. It is titled and runs great. It has been entered in Car Shows and has won Trophies and “Best of Show”. The paint Scheme is of the Air Force Thunderbirds. It has the Insignia of the Thunderbirds and was rebuilt along with the engine by the Sponsers; The Air Force, Jeep, Shell Oil, Orlando Genesis and Arnald Palmer Hospital for Children and Women. KIDS LOVE IT! Many comments at traffic lights. Beautiful eye catcher! It can be used for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Parades and Funerals (or just plain enjoyable driving). Not many miles since rebuild according to the tires. I fly the American Flag and Air Force Flag on special occasions.”

Carved Pumpkin Jeeps

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

For those who haven’t carved your pumpkins yet, I found a few ideas below.  We (and by we I mean Ann did all the work) grew our own pumpkins this year, so if we make time for carving them we will try something with a jeep flair.

Kaiser Willys is having a Jeep Pumpkin Carving contest with a $25 gift certificate as the prize.  Go to their facebook page to learn more.  The pic below is from the Kaiser Willys Facebook page.

Here’s another carved pumpkin for those that can’t identify what the shapes represent:

 

Here is a different take on a jeep pumpkin that I found here.

Here is a stencil you can use to carve your own pumpkin.  Well, it’s a small size version of the stencil. The original stencil seems to be gone.  If you click here, you can use a version of this pic that I have blown up (maybe it will work?).

 

And then there is this painting of a jeep amongst pumpkins by Daphne Wynne Nixon.

Here are a few other links to carvings:

Clarence Budington Kelland published an one of four parts of a novel called “The Incredible Jeep” in the American Magazine in November of 1941. It appears he followed that by publishing the entire novel in 1942. Is anyone familiar with the story?

Here’s a reference to the Magazine on eBay

1951 CJ-3A Clearfield, UT **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

(10/05/2012) This hasn’t been driven since 1985.  However, it has been garaged since then.  The body is supposed to be solid.  This may be worth a look.

“Classic Willys CJ-3A. This jeep has been in my family since the 1960’s. It was hauled from California to Idaho in the late 1990’s where it has been garaged until I recently brought it down to Clearfield to sell it. It has never seen a Utah "salty-road" winter, so the body and frame do not have the rust that you see on typical Utah Jeeps that are 30-40 years newer (body, floor, and frame are solid). I put in a running 289 engine (V8 out of a Rancho) with 302 heads (bored and ported) in it back in 1988 along with a new clutch and throwout bearing, but I remain time-challenged, so it remains unrestored. The mileage noted is actual for the entire jeep (with the exception of the engine). The last time this jeep was driven was 1985. The last time I started the engine was 1989.In addition to the upgraded engine, it comes with a roll bar, custom bumpers (front & back) with a tow hitch on the front, and (2) five gallon Jerry Cans. I will also throw in the full roll cage (custom bent for this jeep with heavy piping, but not assembled) along with a set of 4 tires and rims from a 1968 CJ5 (tires still have good tread). It has been a dream of mine since the mid-80’s to restore this jeep, but alas, we purchased running CJ5 for my son to use, thus we are looking for a good home for the 3-A where it can be restored to its former glory. I am asking $1,500 O.B.O. with the extra set of tires and rims or $1,200 without.”

Case Trapper Knife with Color Scrimshaw

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was listed on eBay.

(10/24/2012) This is a new knife, not a vintage knife. I’m a bit surprised at the price, which is $142 as of this post. But then, I am no knife expert.

“A NEW In The Box Case XX Amber Bone Trapper Knife with A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have just finished of an old Willys Jeep and a fisherman sitting on his Canoe. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom right. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.

Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.

I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.

The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed”
