There looks to be value here. Interesting that there’s no gas inlet.
“This is a rehab project vehicle. What you see, is what you get. The engine is seized, and it’s missing the radiator, gas tank, and windshield. The frame is in decent condition, as are the body, wheels, and tires. It even has a large winch that works OK, but it too will need some TLC. If you’re looking for a fun project, you might enjoy working on this rig. Jeeps are pretty easy to get parts for, and I’ll include a couple of mechanic’s manuals with the sale.”

“This is (as registered) a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ-2a 4×4. It has a buick V6, 3spd tran, dana 25 and dana 27 running gear. I put a new wiring harness, gauges, LED brake and turn lights, new seat coverings and a por-15 paint job. Included is the tire carrier, spare tire, two gas cans, all spare parts, paint and the rifle rack in the middle. This jeep was used for hunting and is extremely reliable but it also looks good to drive into town. It is currently registered (Nov 2015). You can either drive it home (45-50 mph and a 5 gallon gas tank) or tow it home behind your tow vehicle.
I have seen the other Willys for sale on Craigslist and know that the $3600 for a fully running, registered and reliable Willys is priced to sell. Cash only, no shipping, no trades. Email to set an appointment time. Thank you.”

Hoptown Pizza’s Story
February 16, 2015 • CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Mark’s son Tom Smith has just authored a great article at jeeptruck.com about the Hoptown Pizza story. You can read it here:
http://jeeptruckstories.blogspot.com/2015/02/hopping-along-in-fc-dream.html
You might remember when I published a brief story about the owners last October when my wife happened upon them at a farmers market. At the time they thought their truck was cute, but didn’t realize it was called an FC Jeep. So my wife, now being an FC ‘expert’, explained what they owned. I do love my wife!
BTW, Ann says their pizza was great. As part of an email exchange I suggested they try to make it to the FC Roundup this year.
1946 VEC? CJ-2A Prospect, OR **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

1953 CJ-3B Amado, AZ **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $5500.
(04/25/2013) The paint job certainly is unusual, but it looks solid. The description suggests the seller is confused the CJ-5 with the CJ-3B?
“This Willys is great fun to drive and sport around. It has street tires because it was used in parades and car shows. It would run about the desert better with fat tires. 53 is the year that Kaiser bought the company after the Koren war and started making Willys for civilians which is why there is the bigger engine and higher hood. You are buying a piece of history.”

1954 M-38A1 Saratoga, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
(05/26/2013) “This 1954 Willys M38-A1 Jeep (Korean war era) was completely restored a few years ago to nearly like-new condition in olive drab with matching canvas upholstery and top. Attention to detail throughout. Extra clean frame, no rust, this jeep is a true eye catcher and a lot of fun to drive around town. Complete engine tune-up done approximately 12 months ago. Engine runs very strong on 4×4 or 4×2. This jeep drives very well, as a correctly restored and mechanically sorted 1/4-Ton 4×4 should. It has all the right military jeep stuff, including decals, combat lights, jerry can and spare. Door safety straps and reproduction of the original maintenance and operation manual are included. The Jeep has a clean California title.”
