“Here I have a 1951 Willy’s Jeep. Bought as a project for my dad and I, but he’s not here anymore, so I’m looking to part with it.
The motor is a Buick Dauntless 225 V6, runs strong, has a new alternator and fan belt on it.
New gas tank has been hooked up and splashed. Secondary gas tank under rear seat installed but not hooked up
Muncie 4 speed transmission
Aluminum hard top
New front seats
Clean title in my name
Asking $4,000.00 OBO
Contact me, come and see it, shoot me an offer, can’t hurt, most I can do is turn you down.”
David, reckon how much the V6 and bell housing is worth alone? I might buy it just for the two. Got a friend/neighbor wanting the Muncie Rock Crusher for one of his old school rat rod projects. He works on several at a time and good at it. I have and flat head 4 cylinder and transmission to go back in it. Just asking for some input. Thanks.
Barry,
The bell housing might be worth $50. A running 225 engine $500 or more depending on the condition. At least, that is what I’d pay in my area.
Ill buy it as is where is. But being out of state i have received no reply
Robert,
Sometimes emails using @yahoo don’t play well with Craigslist. I’ve ran into this issue years ago (and haven’t tried it since). So, it might be that the seller isn’t getting your email. You might try an alternative email address.
Good luck!

I txted him per request on the craigslist ad. I will be calling some time today
are the wheels jackmans?
I was thinking the same on the rims. Their spokes always look different or odd to me.
Yep those are jackmans, looks like the chrome ones
2k hard top, dauntless, 4spd why is this still up?
I wonder if it would help to pull off the top and replace it with a CJ-3A windshield? Seems like there’s value here.
It’s still up because it’s in Reno and I’m not
A lot of truth to that. For a lot of us if it was less than a 100 miles away it would be sold.
