1950 CUSTOM BUILT JEEP WILLYS CJ3 Crosley Wagon Beach Cruzer Sanford, ME

Andy’s Picks

Odd-Bod 2A in ME. Answers the question for me of “Would the Crosley look cool mashed up with a Willys?”

(Tim’s Notes: Fathers Day is right around the corner so if you are looking for that one of a kind gift for that Dad who is hard to buy for, I was very surprised when I clcked the link, but 100% give them the Creative Award and it runs and drives and that’s a lot more then a lot of my projects!)

Information from Seller:

ONE OF A KIND JEEP WILLYS cj3 nose with 1948 Crosley wagon body a MG HEALEY DRIVE TRAIN 4 cylinder 4 spd manual transmission

custom frame  CUSTOM HOOD SEATS FLOORS.

This gets more attention than my $50k muscle car and it’s not your everyday antique car .

Custom station wagon that runs drives stops(clutch needs bleeding to drive).

Updated electronic ignition new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.

The car was purposely made to look rusty but IS NOT RUSTY the frame and underneath are clean.

LIGHTS WORK just needs finishing touches. It’s a conversation piece I put a lot of time in restoring it to be a rolling advertisement must be seen to appreciate.

There is around $$8000 in just the built of this panel wagon creation

I am hoping to get $4800 or I am willing to trade this for a side by side utv antique truck or maybe a jeep jk wrangler. I will add cash for good trade offers and want cash for not so good trade offers. If you like jeeps cj Willy’s this is one of a kind

Here’s one you don’t see every day (well, frankly I’ve never seen one before, so…)

XM818 5 Ton Tractor Truck 6×6

Location Apollo, PA 15613

These 6×6 trucks were made in many different configurations, beginning in 1951 (and yes built by Kaiser as well as AM General in later years). Lots of good information about the series here on Wikipedia, and also on SteelSoldiers.com (a great website by the way, if you’ve never visited).

Here’s a bit on the XM818 from Wikipedia:

“Tractor trucks were used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg) with 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) on their fifth wheel. Semi-tractor/trailers have to stay on relatively flat ground, and are not rated for full off-road use. On improved roads they could tow up to 55,000 lb (25,000 kg) with 25,000 lb (11,000 kg) on their fifth wheel.”

Pretty significant towing capacity(!) and although the bid is only ~$300 currently, it is listed as non-running, so I wonder…how would you ever get this home?

This would definitely be a cool project if you have the time, knowledge and space! (And I’m betting you’d have the only one when you show up to your local “Cars and Coffee”!)
