Walter spotted these.

“I have 3 original OG OD green factory steel rims I’d like 2 sell. I scored ’em a while back off e-bay,…& lost the 4th one right @ the end of the auction,…hence I only have three. I was going 2 put ’em on my ’64 CJ 5,…but I have since sold that Jeep. These rims are solid,…a few licks w/a wire brush,…primer and paint & they will B good 2 go. They will fit any CJ or military Jeep of that era. No curbing that I have detected,…they look good and straight 2 me. I paid $75.00 each for them plus shipping. I’d like 2 get my money back out of ’em. I will consider reasonable offers. Plz contact me @ (910) 620-4494. Calls are better,…the display on my phone is jacked, so it’s hard 2 make out texts.

Ooops … updates didn’t appear

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

I had updates scheduled to go out early on Monday morning, but they didn’t appear (related to changes I made to reduce resource use on my current server … grrrr).  So, I’ve just pushed them out manually tonight.

Meanwhile, tonight my internet is down.  So, I spent time researching and then playing around with the cover to my new book.  Everything on the cover could change — title, subtitle, arrangement, my pseudonym, colors  — I’m just working it through. Mom’s read the first draft and really enjoyed it. But, hey, it’s my mom. For fun here’s the book front cover draft, and I emphasize draft. Still lots of work left before its ready.

Flamingo Gardens Jeep Train in Flamingo, FL

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

Craig spotted a postcard on eBay about a jeep train in Flamingo, FL.  Some additional investigation revealed the  train was located at the Flamingo Botanical Gardens. It looks like they still use a CJ-5 to pull the jeep train! A tour leaves every hour, on the hour, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.

“Flamingo Gardens is a 60 acre not-for-profit attraction with a wildlife sanctuary, aviary, and botanical garden. The Gardens were originally the property of Floyd L. and Jane Wray, who in 1933 built a home and citrus grove on what was then the edge of the Everglades, where they started a botanical collection of tropical and subtropical fruit trees and shrubs.”

Lycoming Generator Ad on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, Industrial-Welder-Generator This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Lycoming developed a generator/starter for planes that fit in the back of a jeep.  I am guessing that this ad is probably from an aviation magazine, because I found an article about the Lycoming generator in the 1952 Aviation Weekly. Unfortunately, I  could only view a snippet of it in Google.  There is also a discussion of it at the CJ-3B Page.

1957 FC-150 Dubuque, IA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1200. This was for sale earlier this year.  It appears to have a new owner who is selling it.

(02/16/2012) It runs, but has rust.

“For Sale is a 1957 Willys Jeep FC150 or Forward Control 150, serial number shows that this is the 68th one made out of only around 30,000 units made bewteen 1957 and 1964.
Runs and drives, 4WD, 3 speed manual, 2 speed, single stick transfer case, 4 cylinder engine (Hurricane 4 I believe,) I believe it has around 24,xxx miles. has engine driven hydraulic pump and lines still attached. Did have snow plow attached before I bought it.
Tires are dry rotted but hold air, have tubes in them but will need to be replaced soon. The transfer case does shift into all ranges but the front hubs need to be replaced, the front driveshaft spins but the hubs don’t engage. I bought it this way
and never had the time to replace them. Needs driver side window replaced, all the guts are there and you can get a window cut at any auto glass store in town. Needs a lot of body work, paint, weatherstripping, etc. Basically needs to be restored.
The headlights, tail lights and beacon on top all work but wiring was cobbled together by previous owner. Could use a new battery as well, and a choke cable. Hard starting in the winter, carb needs rebuilt but will throw in a rebuild kit that I bought. I will include the front bumper that is in the back and the big gas can as well. This is a rare truck and a good project,
however is not roadworthy so you will need to bring a trailer. Selling due to relocation out of state. Has a title and will throw in a service manual as well. Asking $1200 obo”

Year? CJ-2A Schuylerville, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

”  Up for sale is my Willys flat fender Jeep. I’m not sure of the year; my amateur research shows the body maybe 1953 or around that time. The chassis appears to be maybe from 1970-1973 due to the fact that it has power steering and full spring shackles. This vehicle has been used on my property for the last 10 years, and has been a most reliable tool for the tasks I needed done here. It has no paperwork, and is really the culmination of several vehicles. It has a Chevy 4cyl engine; I think a 2.5 liter. It has electronic ignition and a new carbureter. There are two batteries; one for the chassis and one deep cycle for the 8000lb Smittybilt winch. They are switchable, so you can use either one or both together depending on your needs. I added new military leaf springs ( 12 leaf M38) at all four corners, and a limited slip in the rear differential with 4.88:1 gears. It has brand new tires with less than 1 mile on them, new brakes, new GM internally regulated alternator, and recored radiator. Sorry for the long post but wanted to include as much as possible so phone time isn’t wasted”

1947 CJ-2A with extras Kasson, MN $4500

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

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $4500

(11/15/2012) Bob spotted this unusual farm jeep for sale.  I haven’t seen a front bumper quite like that one; Maybe it’s a different version of a service/garage front bumper?  It looks like it’s had a little body work on the side.  The lift is some kind of Ford/Farmall adaptation according to John. The CJ-2A page had a discussion about this from 2010: http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/1947-willys-my-first-jeep_topic15262.html

“Decided to sell my 47 Willys. Bought it at an auction a couple years ago. I have done some work to it but it still needs more and just don’t have the time for it. It has a four cylinder ford motor in it. I put a rebuilt carb on it, but it still doesn’t idle very well. Starter is new, brake lines are new, Master cylinder is rebuilt but brakes are not working. Needs wheel cyliders most likely.
It has a factory PTO on it. It also has a 3 point hitch on it. Don’t know if is factory option or not but it is pretty cool!
There are a lot of other things mounted on it, not sure what some of them are for. My best guess is that it had a wing plow mounted on it a some point.
Was going to use it for food plots and other various tasks around the farm. I bought a tractor so I don’t really need it any more. Hopefully someone can give it the time and attention it deserves.
Can deliver for an extra charge. Thanks, Pete”
