==========================
#1 PNW4WDA Race Jeep $7000
This lacks a title and is not road legal. It runs and drives. I rebuilt it two years ago and raced it a couple times in 2024. It is fun, fun, fun to drive! It has a built Chev 350 with plenty of power. The body is a very rare fiberglass Parkette racing shell. The frame is widened five inches. The front springs have been reversed, while the back springs include a sway bar. It starts right up, runs and stops. The only issue is that it can overheat. I *think* the issue is that the brakes need to be adjusted as it may be fighting them. It includes additional desert dogs and other tires, along with some rims. There are extra seat belts and other parts. An unexpected health issue forces sale.

#2 1949 CJ-3A Parts Jeep built on a 1973 CJ-5 frame. $2000
The fullcage is built for the body and attaches in six spots to the frame. This jeep does not run, but does have a title. It will need to be trailered. This is a custom build with outboarded springs in the rear and reversed springs in the front. It has a rebuilt V-6, but that was rebuilt ten years ago. It has not been started. It has a T-98 transmission and a Dana 20 transfer case box with Dana 18 gears. It has a Dana 44 locker in the rear and an open Dana 30 in the front. The body is a modified fiberglass Bobcat body with a custom fiberglass hood and fenders (both lengthened about 6 inches). This includes a never-mounted tan Kayline top. There’s a lot of value there.

1956 DJ-3A Convertible $4500
This early convertible two-wheel-drive DJ-3A is pretty near stock with a very solid body and front clip. The convertible DJ-3A model has the solid back, 2/3 1/3 front seat, column shift, and a few other unique features. This does not have the original convertible top (there are only two or three left in the US). It was originally purchased out of Patterson, California, by an Apricot farmer. He added a couple features including a very rare vacuum tank under the driver’s side to support the dual vacuum windshield wipers. This also has the original early King-Seeley 0-10 speedometer seen in early CJ-5s and CJ-6s. This runs and drives, but could use some alignment work. The brakes will stop, but they could use some work. The original paint (Presidential red?) was covered over by the original owner to a warmer red/orange. I took this up to Alaska as part of the Alaska Or Rust vintage jeep event in 2017, which is why it has signatures on it (I got folks to sign it along the way and we added stickers). I had no plans to sell this, but an unexpected health issue forces sale. $4500 You can see it running here: Today I discovered a leak in the electric fuel pump, so I will have to fix that.

#4 1962 FC-170 Tour Jeep.
The cab of this jeep is from an original FC-Tour jeep. This cab is extremely rare, one of five or six. This is a project. These FCs were originally built in Colorado for the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour Company.
You can see two restored FC tour jeeps here: https://thefcconnection.com/vacations_with_the_tour_jeep.htm. My FC Tour Jeep sits on a 2000 Ford Explorer Chassis. When I bought it, it ran, but barely stopped. I was told it was ready to be driven on roads. However, once I spent time with it, I discovered that there were numerous defects that made it unroadworthy and unsafe. So, I was forced to rebuild the cab area. I rewired it, installed hi-range-low-range capability, redid the steering and master brake up, and much more. It was not a project I was looking to undertake, but I made good progress until I ran into health issues. You can see all the pics here: https://www.ewillys.com/tag/fc-tour-jeep-build/?orderby=date&order=ASC $15,000.
I bought this with a three-axle trailer and am willing to sell it an additional $5000.
This pic shows (top) how I was going to rebuild the bed using the existing roll bars, (middle) how it looked when I bought it and (bottom) what I believe to be the original passenger setup.
