4 15″ Rims San Francisco, CA $FREE

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Scramboleer Dan got these rims from a friend and is giving them away to anyone who can pick them up. One of the four rims is slightly different from the others (marked with a red line). Here’s what Dan wrote:

Here are the details: four 15″ yellow Jeep wheels, 4″ center bore, 4.5″ inside width, 5.5″ outside width.

I got them from a local Jeep buddy who is moving out of the area. The wheels have been sitting outside for years, but I scrubbed them with soap and water. These have what appears to be a rubberized yellow coating on them. Beneath that is a forest green. Free to anyone who can pick them up in San Francisco. Easy backyard access on a quiet street a few minutes from major freeways.

Here are two comments from OWF (can’t confirm as to their accuracy).

Comment 1: “These are the earlier version cj5 rims, pre ‘66. Still had the rivets. These have the smooth face and can not take the dog dish hub caps.”

Comment 2: “You have 3 of the later 50’s – 60’s CJ5 wheels and 1 early CJ 3A 3B CJ5 wheel. See the different shaped dog dish centers.”

Hope someone in the eWillys world can use them!

I purchased this cast Jeepster off of eBay. It might have been a mailbox topper, but neither Colin nor I are exactly sure what it’s original purposed was supposed to be. While this one has been tapped for screws, Colin’s was never tapped. This is 11.5″ long.

I got a ton of drudgery completed on the house on Friday (hence the reason for no updates today), from washing the porch, the garage, and the exterior lights, to cleaning the front vinyl fence and completing the trim painting. Whew.

As for the new house, the loan has been approved and we should be signing next week.

We certainly couldn’t ask for a better market for selling: super low interest rates and a super low inventory of houses. We expect that once it is on the market that the house will sell within a few days. This is just a crazy real estate market right now.

I should be an interesting few weeks!

“This is a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ-3B (453GB2). It runs. The 4WD works. It has a new gas tank and new battery. It has new tires in the original all terrain style. It has a new winch on front with an LED light bar. It has a tow bar. It comes with a high rear seat for hunting. It does not have seat cushions though. It has a gun rack but it is not installed yet. It does have the tailgate but it is not currently on the jeep.

The passenger rear fender has been replaced. I also have a front quarter replacement but it has not been installed. It has a complete new brake system with new drums, pads and lines. It can probably use a carb tune up but it does have new spark plugs, wires and hoses. I bought it with a title but it turns out it was not the correct title as the serial number does not match so I am selling it without a title. You can get a new title fairly easily though due to its age. Overall the jeep is in decent shape. I will not respond to ANY lowball offers so don’t waste your time.”

“HELLO, THIS WILLYS BEEN IN THE GARAGE SINCE THE MID 1960’S. WAS BOUGHT NEW THEN WAS USED AS A PLOW TRUCK FOR AN OLD TIME GARAGE/GAS STATION. THE TRUCK WAS THEN BOUGHT IN THE 1960’S TO BE RESTORED TO ORIGINAL CONDITIONS BUT THAT JUST NEVER HAPPENED. IT SAT INSIDE THE GARAGE EVER SINCE.

SO THE FACTS I KNOW ARE AS FOLLOWED; NO TITLE AND NO KEYS WERE FOUND IN THE HOUSE, IF EVER FOUND I WILL GLADLY MAIL THEM TO YOU. AN LOCAL MECHANIC CAME OUT TO HELP US DO A FEW THINGS TO GET THIS READY TO SELL. THE TRUCK TIRES HOLD AIR AND ROLES FREELY. THE MOTOR SPINS BY HAND BUT NEVER TRIED TO START. THE RADIATOR WAS OUT OF IT ON THE SHELF SO MY MECHANIC PUT IT BACK IN PLACE FOR THE PICTURES. THE WOOD ON THE FLOOR LOOKS TO BE IN REAL NICE SHAPE. Continue reading

1943 MB Wills Point, TX $2250

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

“(If I do put fluids in it and test drive it price will increase dramatically as it’s a driving project at that point)

MOTOR DOES RUN WELL! This is a real WW2 Willys MB. It is titled as a 46 Jeep. It is a project. It has a ford 200ci Straight 6 that starts and is turn key, but I have not driven it yet. It needs brakes redone and new tires first before being driveable. (Will include some used 31 inch tires) I’ve removed all the old 6v wiring and have it striped for you to start running your own. I was going to start chopping it all up to make a ratrod, but I figured I would give somebody the chance too bring it back to life before hand. I am open to cash offers, bring a trailer and come give it a good home.”
