“1951 willys jeep, sbc engine, don’t know anything about what’s inside it. But it sounds and runs really good. 2sp power glide with shift kit and 2000 stalh converter. 10 bolt posi rear, unknown gear ratio. Was built to show, runs great and will do 70 mph on highway. If you’re looking for something different that wins at pretty much every show it goes to then this is the one. 22,000 obo. May consider trades.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.

Nick is selling his very rare Valentine-built CJ-3A APUs. He’s done a great job of uncovering the history of these Valentine APUs and sharing it with the jeep community.

“These Willy-Overland CJ-3A utility vehicles were converted into auxiliary power units for the US Navy in the 1950s by the Valentine Welder & Manufacturing Company for use in starting jet aircraft engines. Both vehicles are finished in yellow and equipped with a seven-slot grille, flat front fenders, a single-seat operator’s station, and power take-off equipment. The pair includes an NC-2 mobile power plant that was designed for use on aircraft carriers and modified with rear-wheel steering, front-wheel drive, and a rear equipment platform. The other truck is one of approximately 75 such units modified into an NA-4 ground-based mobile APU and is fitted with a replacement Willys F-134 inline-four paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The engine has been removed from the NC-2 and is included in the sale.”
