1964 Jeep Willys Surrey Gala $10,500 Lebanon, PA

If this is legit it looks like a cool find here. There are some really amazing 100pt restorations of these so I’m kind of in the camp of if legit do a preservation of sorts on this and enjoy it. I feel it would be hard to duplicate some of the 100pt restorations of these, they were just done to a super high level, even at 1100 units, I would drive it and enjoy it.

I also just drove through here yesterday, could have stopped in and took a look in person! Day late.

Information from seller:

1964 Willys Surrey Gala Jeep. This is a rare model. One of approximately 1,100 made. Unrestored body in very solid condition with original paint. Engine runs very strong.

Neat little trailer set up. Nicely done. This is for around the yard and small things like that 3×6, 8 feet long set up for a garden tractor it looks like.

Mini Willys Jeep Body, Frame, Engine (Project) $1,000 Sutton, MA

Neat little project, never priced these out so no clue on value here, but it does look like some decent detail in the body kit. Folks convert the riding mowers into some really neat small trail rigs, this would look neat in that fashion.

Information from seller:

All steel mini Jeep body and tractor frame. Body includes hood, grille, windshield (folds down, no glass), seat and top bows. Tractor frame and mower deck included in price. Has engine but I’ve never run it so I don’t know if it runs. Bought as a project but don’t have time to take on right now.

1947 Willys Jeep – Auction

Lots of work here, and a pretty nice custom Jeep with hardtop.

Some interesting modifications:

  • Later CJ3 windshield mounted vertically to accommodate door hinges (interesting solution).
  • Jerry can mounted in front of the grille (wonder how that might affect cooling).
  • Not sure what the ’59 Caddy front bumper bullets are for…
  • Custom oil filter (spin-on?) on the engine

More photos (and a video) available — but unfortunately no interior photos. Listed as VIN: J143173

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

Willys Knight Whippet Advertising Dealer DSP Sign – Auction

Couple of notes on this auction – first, what a rarity. Yes, the condition isn’t great, but where will you find another?

Second, this has a minimum opening bid of $250 (kind of a potential “gotcha” as I’ve seen other items listed with very high required opening bids–buyer beware!)

Still, I think this is a pretty cool item, and will be a great addition to someone’s garage…(maybe yours?)

Willys Knight Whippet Advertising Dealer DSP Sign

Location: Jackson, MI 49201

(Note the auctioneer is willing to ship this item)

 

In the listing, the auctioneer has added multiple additional close up photos better detailing the condition of the sign.
