TJ shared this unusual Wrangler. In terms of a DJ-3A Surrey throwback attempt, it doesn’t quite work for me.

2004-jeep-wrangler-surrey-sandy-ut

” This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Surrey very nice customization has brought this Jeep to look as though it came straight from the ’60s, displaying many of the signature themes seen on the original Surreys. The base for this re-creation is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that is equipped with the much loved inline six-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The exterior has been finished in a light shade of blue with matching wheels and whitewall tires. The interior is finished with blue and white striped upholstery, blue door panels, blue dashboard; and a blue and white steering wheel. The Jeep is tailored with a rollbar, removable side curtains, a striped fringed top and a rear-mounted spare tire with a striped cover.

Along with the many aesthetic customizations, this Jeep has power steering, power brakes, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. The re-creation completed here has been executed very well and complements the original Surrey Jeep design. This Jeep, with its modern drivetrain, presents itself as a perfect candidate for being used at a resort or used for a weekend adventure. Henry Kaiser bought Willis-Overland in 1953, and then went to live at a hotel that he owned in Hawaii. As a part of the hotel, he owned a car rental business that offered Surrey Jeeps as a cheap runabout vehicle that were used around the resorts. In 1959, a Gala edition, with striped upholstery and fringed top, was added to the export line; intended for resort areas like Hawaii, the Caribbean and Mexico. Later that year it was marketed domestically as the Surrey.”

The price seems decent.

“In the 50’s Willys sold the right to build the CJ3 Jeep to Mitsubishi and they have built them for the last 40 years. This is a 1983 with a 4 cyl Mitsubishi diesel 2700 engine. Runs very well has a few rust spots on the body. frame and floors are great. This is a work horse of a jeep 24 volt system Dana 44 rear, Dana 30 front, 4 speed high and low range 4×4. jeep is stock with no lift but will take 31’s with out a lift. It is right hand drive and has a clear Florida title. This is much cheaper than a side by side and a lot tougher and street legal. Has the very cool CJ3 high hood design and rear jump seats. These are rare in the states but parts are easily available. This is thousands less than you will find other ones.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.

Marty shared this running (but smoking) Tucker Snow Cat. It even includes a Warn Winch.

“Rare 1965 Tucker Snow Cat. Military Jeep running gear. This is beyond cool. It will run and drive. Smokes a bit needs restoration. But it’s original and what a eye catcher. If I don’t sell it? I will rebuild it myself. But I have so many projects going I’m willing to let someone else have this fun project? I put new battery in and fresh gas 3/12/18 fired right up. Drove without issue and steered and parked as expected. This thing is ready to drive onto your trailer. Buy it before I change my mind! Calf. title ser number 1651050. Has Warn winch.”

1951-alfa-romeo-matta-4wd

“I bought this military Alfa Romeo Jeep 1.9 with an intension to finish restoration that has already been taken place. As you can see through these pictures, some gauges are missing, some need to be restored. All electrical wires are very dry and some missing parts in differential, so I have a new rear end, but i have no time to complete it. Rebuilt engine and transmission, made and rebuilt in Italy from the previous owner. the car still runs and drives. Uses front wheel drive. Great project. Something very unusual and unique. This has the same engine that they used in the 1900 GS, which is the only engine that is worth a lot of money. This jeep comes with customs forms only.”

“I’m selling a 68 Nissan patrol for $2,500. This Nissan is in need of restoration. Everything is there including the right rear window not shown in the pictures. The frame and floor pans are all original and look great. If you are looking for a rare vintage 4×4 that will probably be the only one at car shows, then this is it! The car has been parked for many years. It rolls fine, engine seems to be locked up, and the right rear tire looses air. I have a bill of sale but no title.”

Roof Palomino Mower “60” Nebraska Best Offer

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Justin’s selling this Roof Palomino. This version, the model “60”, did not come with the jeep-like hood, so it isn’t quite as jeep-looking as other’s we’ve seen. He hasn’t used it recently, but it did fire right up when he started it recently. To make an offer, email him at Fehlhaferj@gmail.com

“This came from the university of Nebraska and I bought it from the guy that bought it from there auction 19 years ago. Mowed with it for 16 of those years. Just parked it because I decided to go the safety route and bought a newer John Deere so my daughter could take over the mowing. I live on a farm and it it awesome at mowing the road side ditch because of its wide wheel base. I even entered a lawn mower race back in the day and won fastest lawn mower. Had my wife drive next to me on the road with car and was going 23 mph.”

CJ-3A/Samurai Portland, OR $9,000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Other 4x4s • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $9000

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/1948-willys-cj3a-with-modern/6500790992.html

1948-flattie-side-by-side-portland-or

“So this is a 1948 CJ3A, titled as such with only two parts on it that are original. Everything else is from a samurai. Basically it’s a fiberglass jeep body, bolted onto a 1994 samurai frame with all samurai running gear. It was built to be ultra light, with the bench mark of below 1800 lbs which meets the legal requirements for a side by side (class IV UTV) to go on side by side only delegated trails. It’s also a fully insured street legal registered 48 cj3a (no DEQ to meet). The fiberglass body is also made to be 8” longer than a stock CJ3A has to accommodate taller drivers. Why a samurai? Everything on a samurai is built to be lightweight. The engine is fuel injected, aluminum block and heads, fully dressed weights 175 lbs…….. If you think bolting a chevy 350 inside a CJ2A is a good idea this rig probably isn’t for you. If you recognize the biggest advantage you can have off road is lightweight, we should talk. It takes the idea of “go anywhere” to a whole new level.

The good: 5 speed transmission, fuel injection, low transfer case 5.7:1 H pattern, ARB lockers front and rear, ultra light. It’s set up for easy flat tow (4 prong trailer wired directly into the taillights). Custom made soft top to fit the extra 8″ and an island top as well. It will fit in the bed of most trucks like it’s a side by sides with the tailgate down if you don’t mind some strange looks. Gas tank fill in the rear like a samurai, not under the drivers seat like jeeps. Everything runs and works good on it.

The bad: The main reason I’m selling it is because I’m 6’4″. Even with the body 8″ longer than a stock jeep I am cramped in it and it’s uncomfortable to drive. If you are my height, you might not be happy in this rig. Currently for weight purposes it has no back seat and there is an panel in the back area cut out where the seat is supposed to go. No windshield wipers, I just haven’t hooked them up yet as I’ve never driven off road. Technically it’s not a legal side by side, law states it has to be 1) No more than 65″ wide. 2) No more than 1800 lbs dry weight. 3) 14″ wheels…………….. It meets 1 and 2 fine but I have yet to get 14″ wheels for it. I talked to the director of the Oregon OHV program about the 14″ wheels. He says he doesn’t know of that law ever being enforced and half the side by sides have 15″ wheels anyway, but if since the jeep is a technicality, they might be tecnical on enforcing such things.

The ugly: The paint. It’s an off road toy, I spent no time making it look pretty. It’s not going to win a car show for the paint job. But no dents with the fiberglass…….. Pic shows windshield folded down. $12,000 OBO, trades unlikely but I will consider them if you tell me what you have and what kind of trade deal you are looking for. Hint: I’m not stupid I know how to look things up, I know what a 1986 mini van is worth, think classic bronco, or land cruiser.”

AMC 360 V8, 3-speed automatic transmission, Dana 44 front, Full Float Dana 60 rear axle. Reliably runs and drives, title in hand

See and hear it here: https://youtu.be/MHv6ba9Oj1U

Originally a farm truck in Kansas, then transfered to new ownership in New Mexico where it sat for a number of years. I purchased and shipped the truck to NH in December 2016. The frame and body are incredibly sound with no real rust damage, only patchy surface rust. There are multiple small dents around the body, it was a utility truck but all in all the body is good and straight. The J20 starts, runs, drives, cruises, turns and stops well. I’ve put a lot of work into the Jeep to make it reliable, fun and safe to drive. I had plans to finish and fully restore it but my military obligations have changed my plans.
