Bruce spotted this one. The seller is incorrect that this is a M606 style body.

“1962 Willys CJ3b Jeep 70,200 miles in good running condition. Olive drab M606 military style body is 99% rust free.
Comes with pioneering tools (ax & shovel) spare tire, spare fuel can, pintel hitch & bumperettes.
Engine is a Willys “L” head Four cylinder 134ci that does smoke a little but runs smoothly. Transmission is the T-90 3 speed. Warn lock out hubs were installed.
The front seats are original and in solid condition, the rear seat is is from a CJ5. The Jeep is topless.
I have owned this 3b for over 30 years and many parts have been replaced over time. She is not perfect but in very good condition for a 50 year old Jeep.
Please call to arrange a time to see this classic.”

Engine is out. This seller includes an engine from an old welder that runs.  It may have low miles.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $500.

(10/18/2012) Well, if that isn’t a confusing body.  I *think* that is a repro CJ body (with the M-38-like tool indents on the passenger side) with a tail gate that someone has added a glove box.  Of course, it could be a MB body to which someone cutout the tailgate and added tool indents?

“For Sale is a 1946 Willys CJ2A, was a restore project but do not have the time to start it and have to clear out the drive way. Complete rolling chasis Jeep was originally restored in 1980’s made to look like an MB.Complete drive train with original 4cyl “GoDevil” L134. Engine needs to be rebuilt. Not running.

(01/08/2012) At least the seller acknowledges it isn’t all original.

Craig travels over Black Bear Pass in Colorado

Craig has a chance last month to make a trip into the mountains of Colorado.  He thought everyone would enjoy these pics, which are beautiful!

“Here’s some pictures of our trip to Black Bear road on 9/21/12 . The Jeep shown is a 1978 Wagoneer converted into a tour jeep.  It has been in service since 1978.  I’m going to try to put together something on my site maybe.  It’s not FC related but has to do with the history of my tour jeep.  I might have some time this week before we leave for our vacation.  Some factoids; Wild Bill has been down Black Bear more than any other person living or dead, upwards of 2000 times.  He’s been driving for the company for about 34 years and drove for others and personally drove the area 10 years before.  We were there at the height of the Fall colors out there!  IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!  I put some descriptions on the titles of the pictures.  The switchbacks are below the steps of Black Bear and both are past the summit.  Once you pass the summit Black Bear turns into a one way trail as passing is obviously impossible to do on the trail from that point on.”

Here is the Tour Jeep:

Below is a view of Telluride, Colorado

Extended CJ-2A in Spain, but there is a small problem . . .

Roberto’s friend Mr. Paco, has run into some bureaucracy trying title his Jeep.  I will let Roberto explain the details.

Let me introduce you the Willys CJ2A jeep owns by my friend mr. Paco, who lives at Valladolid, Spain. The jeep was found years ago at a farm (barn find!!!) and have belonged to an aristocratic dame, if I´m not wrong.

As you could see in the pics, it has a very curious extended body conversion with short hard-top and that´s the reason to ask your help. We would like to know if this kind of conversion could be done at the States as an extra ordered by the customer, or the institution which imported to Spain. Paco wants to get a tittle for his jeep as an historic vehicle and it seems that here, he needs to claim that this kind conversion was made at the factory. I mean, that this characteristic is “historical”. If not, he should modify again it to be a standard CJ2A jeep…Absurd, and illogical, as the guy who has pointed him this doesn´t care about the possibility of a local conversion made at Spain…isn´t would be this “historical” too? Burocracy, absurd and illogical burocracy…

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v82/Roberto67/Willys%20CJ2A%20jeep%20Paco/?albumview=slideshow

 

I responded to Roberto writing that while I knew a small outfit in California created CJ-2Ls by expanding the middle of some CJ-2As, I was not aware of any aftermarket group nor any Willys option to have the bodies extended in the rear (despite plenty of examples of jeeps that have been extended in the rear).  Does anyone else know anything different?

Here are some examples of jeeps extended at the back.
