1954 CJ-3B Montrose, CO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was several prices.

Dean reports this is posted with several different prices. It may indicate the seller is floating different prices, or it could be scam.

The fuel pump is having a problem. Looks pretty stock.

“I have an all-original 1954 Willy’s Jeep for sale. Uncut, unmodified in any way. If you are looking for a 100% original Willy’s this is it! This Jeep runs and drives. However, the fuel pump is a little weak. I am working on that right now. The minimal rust it has is very fixable. This Jeep has factory “Koenic Iron Works” hardtop and hard doors. Door windows roll up and down. This jeep is unmolested- from the period fire extinguisher, to the fan in the cabin. I even have the owners manual. The mileage is original at 44,000. I bought this from the original owners son. This is a fantastic original specimen and a very rare find considering the hardtop and harddoors. This Jeep is in good condition and is truly a nice vehicle. Look at the pictures! $5400 OBO!! OR I am looking for a decent 4×4 for trade. I am interested in Expeditions, Land Rovers,”

Topless Top in Four Wheeler Magazine on eBay

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

This “Topless Top” article appeared in the March 1966 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine.  Given the top was made of plexiglass, I suspect it is unlikely there are many remaining (if any).  I have bid on the issue, so I hope to have better images and more information if/when I win it.

Wes’ FC-170 Authenticast

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

Wes forwarded some pictures of his all original rare FC-170 model that includes a snow plow. He has owned it 15 years.

Wes writes, “This was made between 1957 & 1963 by Authenticast,(Comet). It is Pot Metal like many early promotional models. Of the 3 FC 170’s they did, this is the rarest. The scale is 1/20th which is larger than most promos. It is as close to new as an older model can get condition wise. I will send you another photo for size comparison.”

Rare Tin Police Jeep w/ TV Screen **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

On the back is a screen that has animations. The CJ-3B Page shows a similar, but not the same model: http://cj3b.info/Toys/PoliceToys2.html

“Win this nice one for your collection. Very rare Movie Screen Police Willys Jeep by MODERN TOYS. Has an amazing illuminated and animated screen which rolls through freeway scenes, traffic snarls, the highway patrol on the road & issuing infringement notices. I’ve included a video showing this but it’s pretty out of focus. The toy moves about the floor in a random fashion. Think the light on the front is supposed to flash but isn’t working. This may need some tinkering and another small project would be a new steering wheel and seat base. Too good to be called a toy! Scans and photos are of the actual item & form part of the description.

22.5cm long x 10.8cm wide x 12cm high. 1-2 kilos packed weight. Item No: 800016”

1951/1958 Wagon w/ Mercedes Engine Greenlawn, NY Status Unknown

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

You don’t see the Mercedes-engine-in-a-wagon mod too often.

“Need to make room for an arriving project. Opening bid is the reserve, so, bid to win..Prefer Cash on pick up or postal money order but paypal will do

Not included in this sale is: kermet, front hubs or rear heater… i will include an old set of warn hubs..

This is a 50 1/2 or 51 body (with mostly original paint, including the pin stripes in the raised beading under the side windows) sitting on a 58 chassis.. titled as a 58. I have both vin plates so you could probably apply for the earlier title.

Daily driver. Goes down the road very well, with no issues and is fun to drive. Been on the road for a bit over 2 years with no problems..i used it for work every day, loaded with a full compliment of carpentry tools. hour each way

Currently registered and insured.. inspection is overdue, mostly because of laziness.. Hanger bearing recently started clunking after 2 years on the road(it was used,but good when i put it in) have a new one

Motor is from an 85 300d that had 200,000 mils on it. Runs good, no smoke, good oil pressure when i put it in. I don’t have oil gauge hooked up now. I tested it with a temporary when i first started the unit.

I grafted the mercedes cross member/engine support to a set of beefed up willys motor mount perches, (which bolts to current chassis).. This way i could use the stock mercedes motor mounts and engine shocks, which were installed new at time of assembly. I also used the mercedes accelerator pedal and linkage as they are rubber mounted to keep engine vibration from the drivers foot, which it does. I had to graft in a section of the benze firewall into the willys in order to make that happen, and it works well.

ALSO NEW at time of maiden voyage(over 2 years ago): windhield glass and rubber, sliding glass rubber and tracks etc,willys repro wire harness, repro brake lights, all brake components (including lines and hoses), all belts and hoses, valve cover gasket ,rebuilt wiper motor(electric ones are for girls!),gm alternator, radiator, oil pressure line to cooler, pitman arm, tie rods, u joints, tires (on 16″ truck rims), rebuilt steering box, battery. willys america door panels and firewall insulation, heater core cleaned and tested and heater media blasted and painted correct color….etc, etc . . .
