Dollhouse-sized Jeep Comic Reproduction **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: This sold on eBay.

Well, this is an odd one. You can view a full size original Jeep Comic here.

“This little comic book is a vintage reproduction of a JEEP COMIC BOOK! FROM 1944! Completely handmade. The cover is illustrated on the front and back. Each of the 10 pages ARE EXACT REPLICAS OF THE ORIGINAL COMIC BOOK and tells the complete story! Most dollhouse comic books do not open or have blank pages. This one has 10 real illustrated pages! A hard-to-find item! So heart-warming and cute in such a tiny version!! A darling and funny story! The back cover is a vintage comic book ad for a GAG BOOK! It has been reproduced so small the images can be seen, but the font would need magnification to be read. This comic book measure approx 7/8 inch tall by 5/8 inch wide. Not a toy. Chocking hazard! This is an adult collector’s piece.”

1942 GPW Forest Hill, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

“1942 Ford GPW. Project worth restoring. We have owned this for about a year, before that it was sitting in a shed for something like 20+ years. I got it running and have moved it around the property a few times, sounds pretty good. I haven’t checked the data plate numbers yet but I think it is an early 1942. Frame looks pretty good, Body needs some work but I don’t see any rust issues. I have a drivers seat frame not in the picture. We do have a title, it was a lot of work and money but we got it. 42 GPW’s are getting very difficult to find these days and nice restored ones are getting very expensive. Foresthill is 15 minute out of Auburn off HWY 80.”

Year? FC-170 Millerstown, PA $2500

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

UPDATE: Still Available

(07/12/2013) Project or parts FC.

“I had the FC running about 6 months ago then it just stopped feeding gas through the fuel lines. I have a brand new fuel pump, brand new fuel filter and a new air filter for it, I never got the fuel lines for it. The old girl still turns over just wont feed gas through the fuel lines. The brake lines my be replaced and the rear axel might be locked up, Im not to positive on that one. The jeep has its normal rust like any other old jeep out there. It does have a PTO system coming out the back of the transfer case and there is three box’s of misc. parts that come with the FC that I have stored in a shed. The FC does have a title but its not in my name so you could put it in your name, Im not quite sure how you would go about that. I think you need prof of purchase, a picture and a pencil rub of the vin number I believe, like I said Im not to positive on that one. The FC originally came off an airfield in New Jersey, went to some guy up in Pittsburg, then down to a guy in souther PA, then after him it came to me.
Have any questions feel free to ask me.
Buyer takes care of all shipping costs and arrangements.”

Saturday at the FC Get Together

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

2013-08-03-fc-gettogether

On Saturday I continued the big sonny-do project of my visit to my parents house: replacing rotten footers under the kitchen. To access them, one of my tasks was to break up some nearby concrete. After working the jack hammer for ten minutes, I remembered why I became a writer; I’m too old to be doing heavy construction. Another two hours passed before all the cement was removed. By then half my body weight had melted out through sweat; I was soaked. But, at least I was done with that step of project. Yeah!

So, how did I celebrate? By abandoning the project for the day and driving down to Tacoma to hang out at the FC Get Together.

2013-08-03-fc-gettogether-lineup

The 2pm timing of my arrival couldn’t have worked about better, because there was still some lunch available and I was hungry after digging up half of Renton. I chowed down while enjoying the company of old friends and meeting a few new ones. After lunch, we spent a couple hours basking in perfect weather, staring at the FCs, sharing stories, and discussing the finer aspects of how the Americans consume water from western Canada, yet Canada gets the better view of Niagara Falls. We concluded we have no control over any of it, so we should just play with our jeeps.

One of the more interesting FCs was the FC-150 Blaine dragged to the event late Friday night. He purchased it up north. I think the only thing holding it together is the green moss.

2013-08-03-fc-gettogether-blaine1

The grand event of the afternoon involved moving of a heavy duty International rear axle from Blaine’s truck to Steve’s truck. Since all of us are handsome and strong bucks, you’d think we’d each grab a part of the axle and move it with manpower.  But, no, we couldn’t possible do that when we had a tool for the job: Jim’s Holmes 440 wrecker setup on his FC. So, with Jim, Blaine and Steve doing all the work and an international community of supervisors, including me, Canadian Dave, and other, providing all manner of advice, they set out to make the transfer. Here are a couple photos:

Success!

2013-08-03-fc-gettogether3

They had to set down the axle and hand crank the big arm upward until it was high enough to drop the axle into Steve’s truck.

 Thanks again to the Mingo’s for putting on the event!
