This has a Carcraft top from Carson Machine and Supply.

“An American classic! This old Wyllis has been been sitting in a hay-barn in the Texas hill country for the last 25 years. It was inherited and there is no title. The engine is locked down, but can probably be worked loose with some WD40 and t.l.c. A couple of goats got on top once upon a time and dented the top and the tires are flat, but the axles roll free. The electrical system was also converted over to 12 volt. Please email me or call 830-868-two-seven-four-five between 6 and 8pm central standard time if you’ve got any questions.

1953 M-38A1 Fowlerville, MI $5000

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This isn’t perfectly original, but looks like a solid little jeep.

“This is a restored authentic 1953 m38a1 willys 1/4 ton jeep. This model has a L head go devil engine that s running strong with an electronic ignition by pertronix. Transmission is. T-90 with the original Dana/ spicer d44 rear and d25 front axles. Most of the military bolt ons have been re-located an installed with original parts r new old stock. This isn’t perfect, it’s 1953, and it’s $5k. Perfect is $8-15k. Have all new bolt on engine parts. Frame was sealed when body was off with kbs coating frame paint. No rust on frame and all rust has been stopped, removed and repainted. Rocker panels and floor solid and floor was nearly all replaced. Has cj3a gas tank under seat which is clean and hooked up. Converted to 12 volt by p.o. And all lights and blinkers function making this a solid vehicle that can be registered. Waiting for the title to come back from SOS and will have any time now. Have an original 1953 Michigan plate that goes with it($30 value). Tire has tread but are checked and I havent gotten to replacing them. Driveable. I ought a new 7 x 15 spare which is closer to original size. Has cj5 15″ rims.

The hood numbers and unit markings are the original usmc badges I found as I sanded down the body.

I get a lot of heads turning when I take it out. It’s an awesome feeling having a jeep that no one around does. My neighbor has a 2012 rubicon $40k jeep and is jealous. It’s history and old=cool

I love this thing. I really wanted a cj2a but this project called my name. Willing to entertain cj2a, cj3a, cj3b trades plus cash or straight up if in good condition.”

1948 CJ-2A Askov, MN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500

This has a rear PTO with winch.  It looks like some body work has been down on and around the step areas.

“The guy I bought this Jeep from 3 yrs ago had just had the engine, transmission, and the transfer case gone through at Bemidji Tech. He also had someone fabricate new heavier than original metal on the outside from the doors back. He powdercoated the rims, put on new tires, brakes, springs, tie rods, shocks, gas tank and seats. It has a rear pto and winch. It has had very few miles since and always stored inside. It always starts and drives great. Goes staight down the road without the wobble like most do. All the lights and gauges work. It looks ok the way it is, but I was planning on re-painting it as whoever did it could have done a better job of sanding and prepping, but I’ve got too many projects already. The floors could use some work also but they’re not bad. I have a CJ syle windshield frame, an extra hood, nice spare tire and new mount, and a motor and transmission for parts. It also has a tow bar and lockout hubs.The hard work is already done on this Jeep and it’s nice just the way it is. With a little more work on paint it would be worth alot more.”

My initial reaction to this was, “what is wrong with you people in Alaska?”.  But then, I thought better of it, realizing there are just as many crazy contraptions in every latitude.  Then, thinking about it even more, I thought that bringing the exhaust over the hood might just be an impractical, funky, slightly nutty, but necessary warming solution??  Any, even better, you just never know when carrying an extra body might be useful.

Just a Squirrel — A George Barris T-Buggy

• CATEGORIES: Features, Other 4x4s • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you have seen Pixar’s UP movie, then you know what a ‘squirrel’ is, something that distracts you from what you planned or should be doing.  Well, at least that is the terminology Ann and I use.

Obviously, the internet is notoriously full of squirrels.  Today’s squirrel relates to a search I was doing this morning, something I do in the normal course of producing (and by producing I mean borrowing) the incredibly high quality, unparalleled content published herein.  That’s when I spotted this (http://lascruces.en.craigslist.org/cto/3151068039.html only $800!) fiberglass flat fender dung buggy body.  I instantly recognized it as the body style of the dune buggy the my neighbor Bud across the street used to build his dune buggy when I was a kid.  The distinguishing feature were those flat fenders in the front, which for obvious reasons seemed comfortably familiar to a lover of flat fenders like myself.  After spotting this ad,  I spent about an hour this morning, chasing this squirrel of a buggy to learn more about it.  It turns out it is a Barris designed T-Buggy kit that Barris had hoped to sell through dealers in every state (I don’t’ know how far he got creating the dealer network).

Now, my neighbor Bud was quite a character.  He was a machinist for Boeing until he retired and machined a couple parts for me that really helped when I was building my first jeep.  During the 1970s he purchased an electric wedge car like this, which on a full charge had just enough power to allow him to drive down Renton’s South Hill into Kent in the morning and return up the hill in the evening.  When Bud’s son Tim, who was my age, turned 16, we’d go for a drive occasionally.  Thank goodness we never got in a wreck, because that vehicle was a coffin waiting for bodies.

At some point before he purchased the ‘cheese wedge’, Bud built a dune buggy.  Every so often we would go for a ride in it, sometimes on the roads and sometime down a power line trail (that was the good old days when you could still go down a power line trail).  One day, we drove into downtown Renton to the former Sears outdoor shopping mall off of Rainier Avenue.  However, instead of parking in a parking spot, Bud drove onto the sidewalk, between a couple stores, and into the middle of the walking mall.  We drove by a few stores until he got right in front of the store he wanted to enter, where he came to a stop as if he belonged there.  We got out and people walked by checking out the cool dune buggy as if it belonged there.  When we were done at the store, we just hopped in and drove back out.

I never knew what type of dune buggy he had, until today’s search.  Based on what I’ve read below, he must have purchased a Barris T-Buggy kit.  The dune buggy he built had all the Model-T elements you see below.  His body was painted a metallic dark red.  It had the faux leather straps across the hood, the chrome roll bar, and a small soft top.  Bud ended up selling that in the 1980s I believe.  I’ve never seen it since.

If you want to chase some dune buggy squirrels of your own, check out the Dune Buggy Archives or Samba.

Here’s an example that is as close as I’ve found to Bud’s:

This is example the way I remember Bud’s, only it was red and didn’t have the stripe around the edges.  Bud had wider, more aggressive slicks that improved the ‘hot wheel’ look, too.

Here’s an example of a kit.
