Body and floor has been patched. No wheels. Missing parts. I wonder what that picture is on the dash?

“1946 Jeep Willy for sale / restoration. It’s missing the tires / wheels as well as the radiator due to vandalism. All other parts are original. It’s a project that was sentimental but we won’t be getting to it any time soon so we decided to get rid of it. Great project for a vintage Jeep enthusiast.

Purchaser must be able to haul away on their own. We will not be able to assist. We do not have full pink slip so we will be filling out necessary paperwork.
$2,800 or best offer.”

Friday-Sun Sept. 23-25: The Secret “Stong” Caravan

david-snake-river

Yours truly taking a selfie at the Snake River completely oblivious to the fact that minutes earlier (just as we were crossing the Snake River Bridge), Eddie Braun was completing Evil Knievel’s jump across the river. We couldn’t have been more oblivious to it.

Beginning on Friday September 23rd, a small caravan of Ann’s cousins traveled to New Mexico to surprise Ann’s uncle, who recently retired. I couldn’t report on our trip, because this was all a top secret surprise and sometimes Ann’s aunt sometimes reads eWillys to follow our trips. Besides, we mostly just drove during the day and RVed at Walmarts at night. That’s why emails have been delayed and posts limited. On Tuesday regular updates will resume.

3-day-map

Left on Friday morning. Spent Friday night in Brigham City, then Saturday night in Farmington. Arrived in Tularosa on Sunday.

The only hiccup was a blown tire on one of the trucks. Then, we couldn’t find the socket to unlock the spare. We persevered and eventually loosed the spare, canalized some lug nuts from another truck, and got back on the road.flat-tire-repair2 flat-tire-repair

The Brigham City, Utah, Walmart is a nice place to stay (and free) with a great view of the mountains.

Where do I even begin? This is a very rare and authentic piece of military history; it may be your only chance to own a vehicle like this. If you search “APU Jeep” this very Jeep is all over the internet. It is a 1951 Willys Jeep CJ3A, but was specially contracted by the US Navy to be used as a mobile power unit. This is known as an APU (auxiliary power unit). It’s sole purpose was to start early jet-aircraft as they did not have on-board starters. It utilized a PTO-driven generator off the transfercase and fed power through cables to the jet. The equipment was so heavy duty, the Jeeps were equipped with larger engines that weren’t even available to the public yet. Two different manufacturers built these Jeeps: A company named O.E. Szekely which a handful of Jeeps are left, but none have any of the original jet equipment. They are only known by their data plates. The other company was Valentine Welder & Co.

Craigs spotted this one. It runs and appears worth a look.

It Currently runs quite well, it has a 4 cylinder over head valve engine with 75,000 miles.
The body has a very nice patina and not much rust.

UPDATE: Roger called me to provide a little additional info. First, the “young lady” with whom Jim is shaking hands is actually the Prime Minister of Defense for the Netherlands. Apparently, there were numerous other dignitaries and security was tight. 

I’m taking a break for the night, but don’t worry. Roger Martin and his father Jim “Pee Wee” Martin have been busy in the Netherlands. Roger’s father was invited over to participate in some WWII events and visit numerous museums. I can’t say exactly which photos go with which musuem, but they are still interesting to look at. Thanks for all the photos Roger!

Rusty’s Windshield

I had a chance this past week to begin taking apart the windshield. The windshield frame has only surface rust, so that’s a relief, but it does have two cracks. One crack should be easily fixed, but the other is on the arm. It is complete severed except for the cables(?) on the inside. This will be a little more of a challenge. Here are some photos:

This has a shortened 3B grill and a 3B windshield, so I”m not quite sure what this is.

“1954 Jeep Willys for sale – $6,250.00. Has a late 70s Ford Pinto 4 cylinder, runs great. Has been wired with a fuse box, new hubs, 4×4 works great. Comes with extras. Easy to tow.
