Nate’s CJ-3A Project

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you’ve been reading the site for a while you might remember a couple of Nate Bolduc’s projects. At the end of 2012, Nate shared with us photos of a very stock CJ-3A he purchased. Since then, not only has he been helping out at the CJ-3A Page, but he’s also been rebuilding this jeep with a Forest Service theme. He’s even named the jeep Teddy, after Theodore Roosevelt. You can learn more (lots of pics and info) at his thread on the CJ-3A Page:

http://www.cj3apage.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1364006201

Here are a few pics of his progress:

1949-cj3a-nate1

This shows the stock CJ-3A after purchased. Note that it’s got some rot along the lower body, which means some body fixin’

1949-cj3a-nate2

Nate built this custom spare tire, water, and his Indian Fire Pump. the quick disconnect looks like a smart idea.

1949-cj3a-nate3

Nate picked up a PTO winch at the Willys Picnic in June. He’s got it installed behind a Warn OD.

1949-cj3a-nate4

Nate decided to try R&Ps dual master cylinder upgrade. He found it an easy upgrade and plans to purchase one for his next project.

Carol Landis and Jeeps

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul alerted me to this first photo of Movie Star Carole Landis in a jeep. Given the passenger door, I’m wondering if it might have been some type of Holden modified Australian MB?

This first photo is located at a UCLA website. The jeep sure looks similar to a jeep that was for sale in 2010.

carole-landis-holden-jeepShe was also photographed in a Ford GP Prototype:

carole-landis-fordgp

But, she might be most famously connected with jeeps due to her role in the movie Four Jills in a Jeep from 1944. The photo below and the image of the book below that were posted at this website:

carole-landis-four-jills-in-a-jeep

Carole even wrote a book about her experience entertaining the troops which was also published under the name Four Jills in a jeep,.

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay. Reserve started at $4650.

“1948 Willys Jeepster, sold as is , for restoration and or daily driver , was on storage without use for some years, bought for restoration upon impulse as I always wanted a jeepster but now I realized I still have three more projects ( 72 vette, 74 TR6 and a 1928 ford street rod) which I should complete before attempting a new project so need to make the space in the garage The jeepster has rust on doors and frame, put a new fuel pump and the engine starts and runs , will need carburator cleaning and refreshing see video on Youtube: Jeepster 1948 Ocala to hear the engine run,noticed that shifter lever got stuck and was easily released by moving the levers that go from the steering column to the transmission so some adjustment may be needed and or bushing . Jeepster is ideal for restoration and or use as driver as is a complete car with all its components, running engine, transmission, rear end , complete body, bumpers ,lights, rims , trim, side curtains and top,. front and rear seats are in good condition as well as the door panels. only visible dent I found is in the front apron behind the front bumper as you can see on photo . If want to use as driver, since car has been out of the road some years ,although it starts trasmission engages and brakes work , it will need complete mechanical inspection refreshing to assure safe use on the road to include but not limited to brakes, suspension, shocks, tires,steering components etc. therefore Jeepster will need to be trailered to its new location.”

Jim’s photo from 1967

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Jim forwarded the following photo of him and his brother from 1967.

bob-jim-cj2a

He writes, “This faded polaroid was dated Aug 12 1967. It shows my ’46 CJ2A, my brother Bob, super-on-the-job and me, grinning and I’m sure torquing everything to exacting specs. She was my second car and my best. I bought it the summer of ’66, spent two cold winters in it and to the best of my recollection, the only one around with any four wheel drive.

There were no aftermarket parts and I wanted oversize tires real bad, so we got some Mercury wheels, maybe ’49s or early 50’s and worn down snows. My father just thought that was ridicules, so one day he borrowed it and returned with brand new Firestone Town and Countrys….6.00 x 16!!!! You can just make out the tread in the picture. After that I did an awful lot of tire swapping to keep things on an even keel. I used to take guys on excursions for beer and gas.

The jeep was called Sophicles Hoblitz which I believe is written on the hood leaning against the tree off to the left. The name Sophicles Hoblitz….. I think came from a Hot Rod magazine cartoon, something about a bearded prophet who advertised himself with a sign on the side of a jeep. Probably warning of eternal damnation to anyone who becomes swayed by the charms of an old Willys. One more thing. I bought her in Longmeadow Ma next to the Ct line from a man who had gone blind and had not driven it for years. That was in ’66 and then it was only 20 years old.

Sounds like it might need a little work.

“Looking to sell my 1963 Willys Wagon. I hate to sell it but have too many projects right now and not enough money for them all. It has the Tornado 230 6-cylinder engine, runs great. I have installed a new poly gas tank, fuel pump and new air filter system so it runs clean.

Factory 3 speed manual transmission

As with most 50 year old vehicles there is some rust, which is in the back quarter panel, but not too its not too bad, still very solid body.

I drive it to work ocassionally when the weather is nice, its a clean looking reliable antique vehicle that gets many looks and compliments as there aren’t many on the road anymore. Perfect for crusing the backroads on the nice days ahead.”
