1964 CJ-6 Low Miles Red Lion, PA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Sold on eBay for $8000.

This is owned by a former Chrysler dealer and has only 5,092 miles on it.

“This is an unbelievably original 1964 CJ6 with 5,092 original miles. This Jeep has its original paint, original top and original (5) tires! Originally sold in Annapolis, Maryland, this CJ spent most of its life on an estate where it was used to maintain the grounds and plow the lane in the wintertime. It is typically equipped. Having a 134 overhead four cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission and 2 speed transfer case. The engine starts easily and runs smoothly. The transmission shifts properly and the four wheel drive works properly. There is a factory heater as well as Warn lock out hubs and an original Meyer Electrolift snow plow. Although not pictured, the Meyer ST-72 snow plow is included. The floors on this Jeep are totally original as is the tool box. In fact, the paint in the toolbox (where is very common to be rusted through) is still shiny and has the original jack and lug wrench. On the underside of the body there is surface rust and scale but no rust through to the floor pans, supports or frame. The worst sign of rust is at the tail lights which is shown in the photos. The original Whitco white top is still serviceable and is restorable with the replacement of the windows and some zippers required. The CJ6 is a very rare vehicle in itself. To find one this original and unmolested is very unusual. There is a clear Pa. title. We were a Chrysler Jeep dealer for many years and this CJ is a part of a small collection that we have decided to sell. ”

Hoptown Mobile Pizza

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

My wife went with her uncle and aunt to Ellensburg to check out some antiques. While there, she encountered the owners of Hoptown Pizza (the FC makes the website, too), a new mobile wood-fired pizza company. They decided to buy the FC-150 you see below (found in Yakima). Apparently, they know little about FCs, but they thought it was cute and practical. They still need to repaint it and rebrand it for their business.

Ann tried their pizza and told me it was outstanding! So, if you are in the Ellensburg, Washington, area and you see them at an event, make sure to grab some pizza!

“Selling my beloved 1947 Willys CJ2A. I’ve been plowing my driveways with this for almost ten years, before that it sat abandoned in the woods for about 35 years. It looks the same now as it did then, I have the pics to prove it! Always starts even in sub zero weather. Plow and four wheel drive work good. Clutch is good, lights work. Nothing made in China here folks, just old American iron made when men were men and women loved them! Charging system works, beacon works. No brakes or paperwork. Use it or restore it.
