UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s a very nice M-38.

“In the mid nineties I did a complete body off frame restoration of this M38 over a period of 4 years spending hundreds of hours. Every part was sandblasted and refurbished with NOS and new parts used where needed to restore to original.Included is a full winter enclosure with doors and side curtains.Also included are copies of the TM9-1804A, TM9-8012, ORD 9 SNL G-8012 and an original copy of TM9-1804B dated 1952, also original jack, handle, lug wrench and canvas pouch. The engine was rebuild with new rod and main bearings, valves reground, new pistons and rings, all new gaskets and seals. The transmission and transfer case were disassembled and necessary parts replaced and new seals and gaskets. Same goes for front and rear axels and drive shafts. New brake cylinders, lines, mastercylinder and shoes were installed.

NOS (new old stock) parts are as follows: radiator, air filter and precleaner, tail gate, driver and passenger seat frames, front floor panel, spare tire rack gas can holder, top bow and brackets, 24 volt recep, underhood battery box, tool box door, seat springs, vacumn wipers, vehicle data plates, cold weather primer, muffler and tail pipe, waterproof light switches, shackles on front and rear bumpers and other small items.

A complete new waterproof wiring harness using original douglas connectors was added. two new 12 volt batteries have just been bought. All of the waterproof vent system was replaced

The old gas tank was replaced with a new repro and sealed on the inside.

Some of the features are: 24 volt electrical system with one 12v battery under the hood and another mounted in the cowl area. The distributor, spark plugs, starter, generator, horn, all electrical are waterproof along with the engine and drive train. The blackout light on the fender and all blackout lights are functional, new windshield glass and weatherstripping added, new welting added between body parts, new shocks front and rear.

Every effort was made to restore as original as possible. Since restoration I have only put about 20 miles on it mostly trailering to car shows. In 1996 It won the peoples choice award at the Ga MVPA rally in Helen, Ga. It has always been garaged. I have the original Tenn clear title dated 1980. Ga does not require a title on avehicle this age.”

Tour-de-France Jeeps

UPDATE:  This was supposed to be yesterday’s top post.  Well, it still works today.  Besides the below pics, here are some additional pics on Facebook.

Bruce and I exchanged a few emails about Elvis and jeeps.  I’m still not certain how, but after a few searches for Elvis, I found myself  learning more about the Tour-de-France and Jeeps. This was quite a fun search.  Elvis will have to wait until later . . .

This is a restored Tour-de-France jeep that may be an MB.  I found the photo below on Flickr:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dprezat/3625273265/

 I found the photo below on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/clairemarine/5324818051/

There are many more smaller photos here, including what I believe is an article about the jeep.

Here are some pictures from Life Magazine, that can also be seen at G503.com

Unusual Body, Anyone Recognize it?

Grant is wondering if anyone recognizes this body?  With the tool boxes in the wheel wells, I think it’s got a MB/GPW rear.  It’s got a small part of the driver’s side windshield (just the angle part) which appears mb/gpw/cj2a ish.

“Big Red” in the lobby of Warn Industries

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, Features, Museums, Unusual • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Doing some hub research today I ran across images of  “Big Red“, the CJ-2A that lives in the Clackamas, Oregon, facility of Warn Industries.  It’s a beautiful looking jeep that I plan to visit one of these days.

If you haven’t been to the Warn website, stop by the history page and check out the picture of the two odd jeeps taken early in Warn’s history when the shop was located in Seattle.  I contacted Warn about the photos, but they couldn’t provide any additional information about the jeeps.  I’ve never seen the body and frame modifications like those any where else.  It looks like it turned CJ-2As into a truck.

Here’s an unusual brochure that highlights a variety of jeeps used in the movie Hatari starring John Wayne.

“Original 1962 Jeep advertising brochure based on the film Hatari with John Wayne. The brochure measures 8.5 x 22” when unfolded. It has a series of photos from the Hatari film, including some nice shots of John Wayne. The text describes 4 different Jeep models that are pictured and that were used in the film.

Fire Jeep Truck in Canton, OH **SOLD**

UPDATE:  **SOLD**  Was priced at $8000.

This is actually one of two trucks.   Both sold quickly.

“1955 Willys fire truck. A rare piece indeed. It was left alone in a storage unit since 1986. It has 3100 miles on it. The body and interior are really nice on it. With some mechanical work this baby will the hit of the parade! Siren and light work! Complete with hoses, ladder, ax and even the lantern. It does run and I have moved it forwards and back. And put it in 4×4. I tuned it up, changed the oil, flushed the gas tank. However, these are the things I know it needs: has no brakes, radiator, water pump, PTO universals.”
