Apparently, this issue of Hit Magazine includes Jeep Jokes. However, the price of $20 makes the issue less appealing. Anyone have this?

1946 CJ-2A Minden, NV **SOLD**

This is a nice looking jeep.
“This jeep has always started. it is in great shape for its age. always kept indoors. It has a top, heater, wench, hubs, AIR lockers, airtank, reciever hitch, welder, two fuel tanks, duel exhust, great tires, rear seat, roll bar, camping rack. new extra best top. Has just about everything to rebuild the engine (new in the boxes) I was going to rebuild it 20 years ago but the jeep still purrs. I have had the jeep for 40 plus years! There is a small dent in the back where a trailer tounge hit the back. I drive it only a couple times a year. I noticed some oil leaking out of the hubs. There is a tear in the passenger seat. Been sitting too long. Everything works. I can get off a four wheel drive road, get on the freeway, use overdrive and cruise at 65 mph. Been a great jeep. Miles may not be accurate. I would like to be payed within 7 days after auction. I think it best to contact me and we can make arrangements for payment and delivery. We can possible deliver the jeep for a fee.”

“This is a 1952 M38 Willys (Korean war) Jeep. It has a 4cyl willys motor that runs just fine. It does need the canvas top and rear seat, and needs the origional steering wheel.

1949 Jeepster Elk Grove, IL **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“This 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster is in excellent used condition. The car has never been comprehensively restored because it has never needed such drastic attention. The car has been re-painted at least once. Paint is in good, presentable condition. There is no indication of any prior body repair or rust repair anywhere on this vehicle. The paint finish is red with some black fades highlighting the trim. All chrome is original and is very presentable as-is. The seat upholstery is in good, presentab l eand useable condition. The carpeting is new, original-style loop carpeting in proper color for the vehicle. The recently replaced the side curtains have never seen weather. This vehicle would qualify as an AACA HPOF (Historic Preservation of Original Features) car. As a collector who values original vehicles above restored vehicles, I believe that this Jeepster shoudl be enjoyed and cared for as-is and should never receive a comprehensive restoration. That said, if someone wanted to restore and have the very best Jeepster on earth, this is the right foundation for such an endeavor.
Noteable atrributes of this vehicle include:
* Very Rare, Original hub-caps in very presentable condition
* New reproduction set of hub caps are included (to be used when concerned about originals being stolen)
* Car is equipped with factory Overdrive – fully functional
* Car starts easily and runs smoothly with good oil pressure, no smoking, or other bad habits.
* Steering and suspension are all in good condition and the car travels well at highway speeds
* Tires are in good condition
* All chrome is original and serves as a testiment to the fact that this Jeepster has been well cared for its entire life.
* I would have no hesitations about getting in this car and driving it across the country”

Knardly Rolls
Paul gives an update on his jeep build. (View past posts by Paul here)
“I’ve been making some progress on the Willys this winter but my wallet can’t keep up with my plans so I’ve had to scale my work back to consist of lower cost but necessary tasks which must be done but aren’t the flashy jobs that get noticed. One of these simple items was fabricating a license plate mount on the front bumper. I didn’t want to mount the plate on the grille where it would restrict the airflow heading toward the radiator and attaching the plate right above the bumper could restrict the visibility of the front turn signals. Hanging the plate below the front bumper would expose the plate to damage by snow piles and make it more difficult to see so I ended up mounting the plate on the center of the front bumper with some 1/8th inch thick angle stainless providing the needed support. These angle sections were cut so they were slightly wider and taller than the plate, the edges were filed and contoured to match the plate and riveted to a 16 gauge stainless sheet which fits just behind the license plate for added support.”
“With these parts together I riveted this assembly to the upper and lower surfaces of the front bumper. All rivets were flush head style which not only look smoother but prevent interference with the mounting of the license plate. The attach hardware for the license plate ended up being too close to the bumper structure so I had to hand file four openings in the bend radius of the reinforcing angles to allow clearance for the washers and nuts. The license plate mount is pretty sturdy and doesn’t restrict airflow or visibility so I like it. I’ve attached pictures of this mod so you can make sense of what I’m talking about.
By the way, the license Rolls is an old joke which began in either late 1972 or 1973. With the original four cylinder engine and the 5.38 axle ratios this poor Willys was slow. I drove many miles down the shoulder of the roads while faster vehicles (furniture vans, garbage trucks and kids on bicycles) zoomed past me. Naturally, my friends seemed to notice how slow my Jeep was and were often surprised to see a speedometer in the gauge cluster. They thought since the Willys was so slow I’d use a calender to measure my driving speed. Somehow the general opinion came to believe this Jeep was not built by WillysOverland but by a company called Rolls Knardly because the Jeep Rolls down one hill and Knardly make it up the next one. The name stuck and I paid extra to have Rolls as a personalized license plate much to the enjoyment of my friends. I still have the plate and someday I hope to have the all new and improved Rolls Knardly back on the Alaskan roads, I might even try to pass someone!”

Roy Roger’s sidekick Pat Brady had a couple color books made under his name that feature a variety of nellybelle images. You can read more about nellybelle at the CJ-3B page.
1) This coloring book is for sale in a few different places. The cheapest price I found was on Etsy for $8.00 (plus shipping) and includes a few pages colored.
2) The cover of this coloring book was on a Pat Brady Biography page. I haven’t found it for sale anywhere yet.
3) I found this copy of a page from “In Trouble” at comic art fans.

1964 FJ-3A Fleetvan Ballston Spa, NY **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
Dun-Rite Plumbing? Why would someone want to project competency through their business name, yet spell it incorrectly? It just doesn’t seem done right. The seller notes the van wasn’t done right, either.
“1964 Jeep CJ3a Fleetvan; imagine a 7 ft. tall WW2 Jeep. Originally from California, superficial rust only.. I bought it with no engine but installed a 1991 2.5 liter Jeep engine with an AX5 transmission and transfer case. If desired you can swap the front axle and make it 4WD.
NEW wheel brake cylinders, new brake hoses, new brake lines. The rear end was converted to Discs in the 1970s, pads are good and the rotors were turned. Front drums were turnd before new shoes were installed.
The 1964 one cylinder brake master was swapped out for a newer two chamber from a Toyota Tacoma. Mechanical clutch was replaced with a new Wildwood hydraulic master; the clutch on the 2.5 engine is only a year old.
One of the corner windows is cracked, but readily available from the Glass Dr. et al, it’s flat glass. The gas tank is shiney inside. A late model speedo and gages are included, I have the original 6V unit.
