1974 CJ-5 Renegade Scottsdale, AZ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Wayne points out that the skid plate was optional. This is one nice Renegade (though an imperfect restoration to stock). My only question about this is the lack of the protective skid plate underneath the gas tank that bolts between the back of the frame and the cross member in front of the tank (something my 1973 CJ-5 had). (here’s a stainless steel version of what I mean)

“This week Canyon State Classics brings to market an awesome example of a 1974 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade in stunning condition inside and out. This Jeep was bought brand new at Galloway Motors on October 3rd, 1973 by Mr. Thomas Payne of Tucson. This Jeep has Southwest desert area its whole life and is completely solid and rust-free, and still retains its all original steel tub with no patch work. This little CJ has just come out of the collection of a 35 year Jeep dealer and expert who just recently completed a full frame off restoration on this gorgeous CJ-5. He stated that he believes the miles are original at under 40k, as he knows the Jeep was off the road for the better part of 25 years before the restoration. The vehicle has been carefully restored to like new condition!”

1959 FC-170 Orland, CA eBay

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

This does not run.

“Up for auction is my 1959 Jeep FC-170. It does NOT run. I bought it to be the “shop truck” for one of my business’. I can use the space now more than the truck.
I have a clean California title for it. On the title, it states that the truck is a 1959 model and first sold in 1959. The license plate and vin numbers match what is on the title.
I found this truck sitting on a large ranch here in Northern California. There is 60,500 miles on it and is ok condition for being an old ranch truck.
So far I have done the following; New spark plugs, New points, New condenser, New cap and rotor, New choke cable, Rebuilt the carburetor, Brand new dual diaphragm fuel pump (fuel and suction for windshield wipers), New fuel filter, Pulled the fuel tank, cut open, cleaned to new, welded back up, re-installed with new rubber straps, cleaned all hard fuel lines, and New ignition switch. All that is left is to address the cooling system. I would flush and replace water pump and thermostat. Im a firm fan of doing everything correct. I restore and build motorcycles so I bring that same attention to detail to everything I work on. (caseyandersonmotorcycles) to find on the net. The engine turns over nicely and the transmission and transfer case shift just fine. From what I can tell all gauges work (at least, not broken).
Body is ok. The worst is the bit of rust on the roof where it meets the front windsheild (driver side). The glass is great. Yes, little dents here and there. Doors shut nicely. All linkages (steering, shifting, accelerator, etc) all move nicely”

The motor has been rebuilt and has roughly 3,000 miles on it and the rest of the truck has 153,000 miles on it. The body has a couple dings in it but nothing terrible and needs a paint job and a radio since the radio has been stolen. It’s a very solid truck, just needs some tlc, price is negotiable call 334-399-0730”

1949 CJ-2A Philadelphia, PA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

“Now my 1949 Jeep Willys is for sale. I owned this Jeep about 8 years and thought each year that I would be able to start restoring it, but it never happened. So I think it’s time for us to part ways.

Front fender was probably redone by the previous owner because it is strong and without rust.
Frame has surface rust, but nothing critical.
Same with the body – it’s not too bad for it’s age, but has some patches on the front floorboards.
For me it looks like everything is original.
I ran the engine last time 2 years ago. Engine is free and I’m positively sure that if I put in fresh gas and a good battery, it would start right up.
When i drove it around the yard 2 years ago, transmission and transfer case were working well.
No brakes.”

(10/21/2013) This does not run at the moment (clutch out).

“Jeepers, creepers, have we got something for you!
Our Dad had a 1946 Willy’s Jeep that he cruised around the farm in. This vehicle has some emotional value to us, but things change. We had this Jeep tuned up several years ago, new military style tires (about five miles on them), and a new 6 volt battery, but alas the clutch went south. We discovered in the back corners of the barn additional parts such as: gas tank, radiator, front fenders, windshield, hood and front grill. We are motivated to sell, and would like to sell as a complete package. There is no title.”

Photos from Subic Bay, Philippines, Bangkok, Thailand, and More

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

Doug had some more (over a thousand) photos digitized from a variety of southeast Asian places from the 50s and 60s and 70s. They were taken by a man who was in the Navy and seems to have traveled or lived all over. Doug has posted over a thousand pictures on Flickr. There are both location photos and photos of business cards, which I found interesting.

See all of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/58451159@N00/

Glenn spotted this non-running FC.

“You are bidding on a 1959 FC-170 Willys Pickup.. It came out of Boulder City, Nevada owned by a miner. Been sitting for 20 years before I bought it 2 years ago. I have not tried to start it to see if it runs. It is a 6 cylinder flat head. Everything on the motor and running gear is original. Has custom made stacks. One is an exhaust stack and the other one is a coolant reservoir. It looks like it is all there as far as running gear goes. It has slight rust. Clear California title. It is registered in op. Couple of the side flat glass is cracked. What you see is what you get”

1950 M-38 Hawley, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900

“I am active duty USMC stationed in California. I purchased this jeep a few years ago to restore, but other priorities come first and I need to pass this jeep on to someone who will use it.

This is an original US Army M38 Willys jeep. The drive train is all there and the body is about 75%. I have never tried to start it but was told by the previous owner that it was running when parked. The original seats and small things like the frames and brackets for the canvas top are all missing. It has some non-original seats in it and looks like it was used as a hunting jeep at one time. No extras, no top or doors, bare bones, just what’s in the photos. I have the Tx title.

This is a good restoration project at a great price. I have restored two other jeeps and they were about in this condition when I got them, but were much more expensive.

Please contact me with an offer if interested. I am in California, but I want to sell and will actively monitor my email. I have folks in the area who will be available to show the jeep to buyers. Thanks!”
