1951 Wagon Mill Valley, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,995

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.

“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.

Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.

This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.

Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)

Engine: F-6, 685, “Hurricane” OHV 6 cylinder; 161 cu. in.; 90 h.p.
Transmission: 3-speed with column shifter (with optional electric overdrive)

Also included with the sale:
A collection of advertising and dealer promotional literature. (see web page)
Owner’s Manual and Mechanic’s Manual.
Some photos, and many receipts that document the restoration are included.

Restoration work:

Engine rebuilt (less than 700 miles since rebuild)
Transmission rebuilt
Replaced: clutch/pressure plate; brake cylinders; shocks; king-pins
3-Tone Paint (Last year of the ‘woody’ paint scheme)
All bright-work re-chromed
New Upholstery
New interior paneling
New Headliner
New carpeting
New Glass
New rubber and seals
Complete rewire
Electrical upgraded from 6 to 12 volt w/alternator”

UPDATE:  Still Available

(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.

“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”

Goose’s CJ-3B Gets a Top

UPDATE:  I had the wrong link to Goose’s original build (thanks Dave).

Goose forwarded some images showing the addition of a half cab to his CJ-3B.  Goose spotted this half cab on eWillys this summer.  He worked out a deal with the seller, then set about making a few customizations so that it would fit. It sure turned out nicely! If you don’t remember Goose’s Project CJ-3B, you can see his original four-month build here.

Bountiful Jeep Posse and Racing

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

Having lived in Salt Lake City for ten years, I know the area pretty well. So, I’m surprised by just how active the four wheel drive clubs were in the valley.  For example, I just read a short article about the Utah County Jeepettes, a group of women (I think wives of jeepers) that organized events.  In addition, there were Jeep Posses in Utah County, Salt Lake City, and Sevier County, Utah.

As you can see in this picture, taken at the 1970 Pioneer Jeep Rally in Bountiful, held by the Bountiful Jeep Posse, this wasn’t just about Search and Rescue. Racing had become popular, too, just as it had taken hold in many other places. The first Pioneer Jeep Rally was held in 1965. By 1970, the event attracted racers from several intermountain states.  Two main events were held at the Pioneer Jeep Rallys, a hill climb and an obstacle course.

The article and picture below were published by Four Wheeler Magazine in July, 1971. To me this picture could easily have been taken above the city of Bountiful or Centerville.  It looks like the staging and parking was done along the valley’s bench.
