Rudys CJ Shop in Findlay, Ohio

Doug spotted this ad (http://limaohio.craigslist.org/pts/3736548170.html), which led me to Rudy’s CJ Website: http://www.rudys-cjs.com

Rudy’s is located in Findlay, Ohio, and specializes in 1976-1983 CJ-5s, CJ-7s and CJ-8s (scramblers). They sell both complete jeeps and parts.

According to the website, Rudy’s forte is “selling originally rot free, unpatched CJs for you to take to the next level or personalize or enjoy in it’s original glory as it sits.  Our philospophy is that all the mechanicals can be easily resolved but it is only original metal once.  We do not do any fiberglass Jeeps nor do we ever patch frames.”

Marc forwarded this unusual sign. This shows a nice bit of history. Knight created the first sleeve motor after becoming frustrated by the noisy motors of the day. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages. You can read more about the motor at Wikipedia.

1948 Truck Brooklyn, CT **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This looks like a good restoration candidate.

“It was stored for the last 40 years in a garage and used sparingly to plow a long driveway. The short story is; This vehicle was 1 family owned from new and is totally unmolested, except for the plow. 62,000 original miles. Everything works including all gauges, (even gas gauge!). The originality is mind blowing with even the old rubber Willy’s floor mats and seat covers present, (albeit a bit worn). Vehicle starts right up, runs and stops, with the only issue a gummed up carburetor, due to today’s “corn gas”. Simple solution of cleaning and a carb kit. Runs now with choke partially on, smoothly. Vehicle is original gray paint with some primer over the worn areas. Frame is rock solid and all panels are original with very little rust and no bondo evident. An awesome truck to either rat rod as is, (with a bit of tinkering), or restore to a real head turner of great value. How many do you see at your local car shows? (More info on eBay)”

1944 MB Summerville, SC **Sold**

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

UPDATE:Was $3500. **Sold**

(02/06/2013) Bo is selling his 1944 MB Project

“I have for sale an early 1944 MB 340503 for sale. I’ve cleaned (to bare metal), primed and painted most of the external surfaces. A lot of body work was done, too, although I left all of the dents in place. In time, the hat channels will need to be replaced.

Here is a link to my blog that covers in better detail what was done and how it currently looks.

Post war engine (not running, but will turn over), T84 transmission, Dana 18 transfer case (both shift, but will probably need rebuilt), and the jeep rolls.

Right now I’m asking $4000 or best reasonable offer. No title, just a bill of sale. Located in Summerville, SC.

Its a good start for somebody else to restore! If you could post it on your site, I would be grateful. If it sells, I will totally donate to keep this place up and running!! By the way, your efforts have been extraordinary the past week. I think it looks great! DoD was 6-8-1944
