Herding Buffalo at Custer State Park

UPDATE: This post originally featured the press photo at the bottom. Adding to the information, I discovered an article from the May 1956 issue of Willys News discussing how the buffalo were more patiently herded by jeeps than by horses.

========================================

According to this 1951 press release, this jeep was used to round up twelve buffalo. They were shipped to Chicago for an international livestock exhibition. The watermark kind of obscures the jeep.

“You are bidding on an original press photo of Jeep Beside Buffalo in Custer State Park South Dakota. Photo has newspaper marks & waving right edge Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 11/27/1951.”

MIght be some value here.

“This is what I believe to be a 1958 Forward Control Jeep 150 4×4. I am not sure of the exact year. These are super rare antique forward control jeeps. This vehicle is complete, but in poor condition. The engine (hurricane 4 cylinder) turns over and the transmission shifts through the gears. I have not tried to start it. I am selling this vehicle for parts or restoration. The pictures describe it better than my words can.
I am asking $899 or best offer. If you are interested, please email me and we can setup an appointment to view it. The jeep is located in Glens Falls and we can help to transport for a nominal fee.”

1947 CJ-2A Portland, OR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400

Runs and drives.

“We purchased this 1947 Willys Jeep within the last year and we used it as our “fire chief” advertising vehicle for the summer. Our business is renting fire engines for promotions, advertising, and special events. We usually trailer the vehicle although we have been running errands with it. It has been a great head turner for our needs but we’re getting another fire chief car so we want to sell it.

The odometer reads 06723 miles and we were told it is actual but I that find that difficult to believe so I wouldn’t count it as accurate. It does has the flathead 4 cylinder motor.

The hardtop IS removable. No soft top.

Tip out windshield. $800 worth of NEW TIRES.

The rotary beacon emergency light is not included and is not actually attached to the hard top.

We’ve just rebuilt the original carburetor and replaced the points. We checked compression and one of the cylinders is working at about 40%. Either an adjustment of the valves or that valve needs work. We do not plan to do any further service and continue to drive it for errands at this time.”

1949 CJ-3A Colorado Springs, CO **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7500.

(11/08/2014) Looks like a fun rig.

1949-cj3a-coloradosprings-co21 1949-cj3a-coloradosprings-co22 1949-cj3a-coloradosprings-co3 1949-cj3a-coloradosprings-co4

“The previous owner told me this rig was custom built in the late 1960’s as a no-kidding Sand Dune racer.

It’s incredibly fast! It will hold 65 MPH up Vail Pass on I-70 while barely touching the gas. The v8 motor is very strong, but when you combine it with such a small / light vehicle, it’s just crazy. The motor fires right up and is very strong, doesn’t burn any oil.

I believe it is a reproduction CJ3A steel body and not original Willys. I do have a clear Colorado title in my name. The bottom of the “tophat” channels underneath the tub are rusted, but the actual tub pan itself is very clean, and the frame is clean and solid.

The paint job is probably 20 years old, so is faded but still looks okay. I can’t stop for gas or pull up to a stoplight without someone drooling over it or asking questions.
