1957 CJ-5 Hesperia, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, Unusual • TAGS: , , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  This is back on eBay

(08/15/2012) Here’s an unusual CJ-5.  It appears to have been modified by the same people/person who created these other modified jeeps, an observation I’m basing on the top.  Given the jeep is from Hesperia, there’s a very good change it is the same group.  Note that the jeep was stored for more than three decades.

“Here’s my 1957 jeep, it was stored from around the late 70’s till 2010, still has the original california black plate, runs and drives great!!

paint, interior, and engine change where done around 1960, was owned and customized by a california car customizer in the fresno area

Good Food, X-Rays, Jeeps and a Camel

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

We were hunting jeeps, as we do anytime we are traveling in the car, when I heard Ann shout, “That’s a camel . . . NO, that’ s horse . . . No, that’s a Camel.”

Those weren’t words I expected to hear as we drove into the small town of Waitsburg, Washington, just a short drive north from Walla Walla.  But, sure enough, there amongst two cows was a Camel eating some feed.  It’s just strange the things you can find when you start looking.

It sure looks like there are some parts worth saving.  This was taken in The Republic of Djibouti, Africa, and posted on Flickr.  After some searching, I discovered these are probably Hotchkiss (see m201 website).

1946 CJ-2A Mannford, OK $3500

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

It runs and drives.

“For SALE OR TRADE 1946 Willys Jeep cj-2a (CLEAN TITLE IN HAND) the price of $3500 is negotiable, as far as trades I will trade for a Kawasaki KLR 650 or similar endure type bike.

Has been converted to 12 volt. Engine has been replaced with the 134 F head. This is the engine that was used in the cj-3b’s among other vehicles, similar to the original flathead but the intake valves are in the head and the exhaust valves are in the block, providing slightly more power and reliability in comparison to the L head (flathead). This thing runs great, and has recently had these parts changed. (I have all of the receipts)

>starter
>fuel tank
>Distributor Rebuilt Kit (points, rotor, cap, condensor)
>fuel filter
>oil filter
>Ignition coil
>Spark plugs and wires
>The carb was just rebuilt by Thrasher Carb shop in Tulsa

all parts were purchased from kaiserwillys

This isn’t a show quality rig by any means, but this thing starts up right away, and idles and runs perfectly, the 4wd and transmission work perfectly also. Even the gauges work. Doesn’t leak all over the place, and would make a perfect hunting rig / work horse, or you could just use it for fun, this thing is a blast to drive”

1944 Flattie Ephrata, WA $1800

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

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1800. This looks like a good price and includes a winch.  Note the customized windshield, too.  The seller did correct the V-6 to a Flathead 6.

(08/03/2012) It looks like the rear axle has been updated, so that part of the running gear isn’t original.  The driver side entrance has been chopped a bit.

“1944 willys it has a flat head 6 motor,running gear is all orgianal,it has a big ass winch on it that works, runs and drives but needs to be restored…call 855-6091”

What’s a Jeep between brothers?

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

From the Vale Valley Website comes this story of one brother buying CJ-2A #No. 23995 for another.  It’s written by Raymond Bleesz.  You can see pictures of his jeep on the CJ-2A Page.

It is said that the Willys Jeep won the hearts and minds of all those who served in World War II, and that the jeep won the war.

My 1946 CJ2A jeep, No. 23995, was in the assembly line of production when the war ended.

This jeep with its “Go Devil” four- banger engine, a body from the Willys Ford Overland Co. in Toledo, Ohio, was one of thousands produced during the war years and later into preproduction civilian jeeps at the end of the war.

In 1990, this jeep was given to me as a birthday gift by my brother, who had purchased it from a good old boy in Frederick, Md., towed it across country and presented it to me upon his arrival here in Edwards.  . . . . . .Read more below

PTO Drum Attachment on eBay

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

Anyone recognize this?  The seller is unclear if this works with a jeep pto or not.

“Probably one of the rarest rear PTO attachments I have ever seen. This was believed to have come with a pile of F-12 parts. The small pto size shaft would lend itself towards Farmall, as would the distance from pto shaft to drawbar mount. Part numbers start with an unfamiliar C4CXXX. Numbers do include C4C299 C4C300 C4C303. It is also possible that one of the letters “C” could be a “G”.

Engage and disengage lever works fine.

So the question remains…Farmall, John Deere, Willys Jeep, Cletrac, Caterpillar, Avery or some other oddball.

We look forward to hearing from someone who knows what this truly fits.

We can be reached at 563-387-7705 should you have questions”
