Wayne’s Auto and Truck Repair (& Old Jeeps) in Townshend, VT

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

Abe shared with me the following story:  “While driving thru Vermont this past summer I ran across these jeeps sitting in some very tall grass. Asked for permission to take the pics on cell phone. Ergo lousy quality.”

Not only did Abe take pictures, but he got the owner’s business card, too.  And, on the card, is a website:  http://www.nejeeps.com  So, thanks to Abe, maybe the folks in the Northeast have another resource for old jeeps and parts.

Here are Abe’s pics:

1962 M-170 Corte Madera, CA on eBay

• CATEGORIES: M-170 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller spent time refurbishing this USMC M-170.

“for sale is a 1962 willys m170 or mda.
this rig was decommisioned in 1978 from the USMC.
i rescued this vehicle from oblivion in 2005. it had been sitting in the sierra nevadas under pine needles for 25 years.
i brought it home and went to work.
i went through the vehicle nose to tail, but here are the highlights…
the original f-head motor has been professionally rebuilt and runs as well as it will with the carter ys carb.
i rebuilt the t90 3-speed and dana18 transfer case and they both work great.
i built a custom wiring harness and did a 12volt conversion(pertronix distributor, one-wire alternator, lights and gauges)
i completely replaced the braking system, master cylinder to the shoes.
it currently has 5ea. 31×10.50 street tires on 15×8 american racing wheels. i also have 5ea.original willys rims for NDT tires.
i did not have the ability or the room to take the body off the frame.
they only made approximately 12,000 of these. one run in the mid ’50’s, then again in the early ’60’s.
i shudder to think how much money i’ve dumped into this thing. but i don’t have the time or space to finish what i had planned.
i’ve got well over 10grand into her. i’d like to get around $4000, but no reasonable offer will be refused.
i will add a couple of more pictures soon.
thanks for looking.
buyer responsible for shipping.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2795.

(01/10/2013) This needs brakes. It’s listed as a 1968, but the dash suggests this is a pre 1956 model.

“CJ3B I AM NOT SURE OF THE YEAR, JEEP HAS HAD A FRAME ON RESTO. THIS IS A DRIVER NOT A SHOW JEEP. MOTOR RUNS STRONG ALL GEARS WORK HIGH AND LOW.

1973 CJ-6 Wilton, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

This runs most days, but does need some things fixed. The top looks in great shape,

“Looking to sell my 1973 CJ-6. Like the CJ5, but 20” inches longer for more capacity/capability. Has 304 AMC V8, runs. 3 speed on floor. Dana 44 rear. Motorcraft 2bbl Carb was rebuilt and vehicle started/ran reliably before it was put in storage 10 years ago. Steel doors and hard top in good condition for age with minimal rust. Brand new Rancho stock height leaf springs on all 4 corners. 4 corner man-power drum brakes, and power by armstrong steering. This Jeep is a survivor. The body is straight and worth repairing/repainting/restoring. No title, and i have no plans to get one, i will, however, write a bill of sale. NH title will work if you want to make this truck road legal. Make no mistake, this is a PROJECT Vehicle. I am asking $2,500 to get what i have in it, although i am willing to negotiate a little, but please, no offensive offers! they only made 50k of these from 1955 to 1975, and 95% have been scrapped or wrecked. Very few remain. The Gipper had one as his ranch jeep. Search these jeeps on the interwebs and see what people are doing to them to make them cool, capable offroaders. I also know what they are worth, both unrestored and restored. I am just out of ambition with 10 other projects looming…This could be your next project!

Needs the following: Distributor acts up, sometimes it allows the truck to run, other times it doesn’t, easy fix im sure. Transfer case stuck in 4HI. Needs miscellaneous body mounts and perhaps some hat channels (typical for these CJ’s). Needs tires and wheels, but if you are building a custom jeep, this is the least of your concern. Im sure there are other things i am forgetting.

Checking out a 1943 MB Barn Find

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

Brian invited me over to his house to meet Brian and see the a new Barn find: A 1943 MB.  They found just outside the tricities area. It’s got some hat channel issues, but otherwise is pretty solid.  It’s also has an engine that Brian got running today.  It’s a great find and, except for a lot of very cold wasps, will make a great stock MB. Since they live nearby, they’ve promised me a few additional adventures that include hunting for jeeps. I look forward to that.

Here are a couple photos taken by my favorite photographer (Ann of course). In front of the stock MB is Art’s recently purchase M-38, which looks and runs great.  A former Navy Seabee, Art has decorated his jeep to reflect his time in the Navy.  Behind that is the ‘barn find’ and then behind that is Brian’s flattie.

Roberto shared the following, along with his newest drawing:

“I send you one of the comics drawn for French bimontly magazine “4×4 Story Spécial Jeep”, translated to English, This is the comic published at issue 46. The subject of the comic was the employ of the jeep during the vintage of wine at France. After WW2 many army surplus vehicle were employed by civilians and of course, at the areas devoted to the well known French wines. In fact, there was at least one winery commercialised a product called “Jeep”. One video at “You Tube”:

Guy spotted this M-38 on the January 14th, 2013, episode of Hawaii Five-O. He managed to grab the below picture.  He also found extra links or us too (thanks!).  It looks like someone has smeared dirt in places to give it that ‘rough’ look.

He reports on the right is Steve McGarrett, played by Alex O’Louglin. On the left is Chin Ho Kelly, played by Daniel Dae Kim.Link to info about this new version of Hawaii Five-0:  http://www.cbs.com/shows/hawaii_five_0/about/

Here is some additional Hawaii related links and info he found, too.

 Also, found a vintage Jeep pic at the Hawaii War Records Depository site: http://libweb.hawaii.edu/digicoll/hwrd/HWRD_html/HWRD42b.html
See War Record #494 – Scroll halfway down the tall page.
Upon further looking around the War Records site, I found you can do a search within related sites for Jeep images and Jeeps being mentioned in communications, etc.  I did not have time yet to look through it.
