Matt spotted this gem.  Not satisfied with the toy-sized, remote control version of the Tamiya Wild Willys Jeep, the people over at The Bug Box, a German company, decided to build a life size version.  They documented the process.  Very cool.

Lori’s Jeep at Amazon

• CATEGORIES: Books, Features, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is a fiction book.  It’s rare to see a book about a jeep, but even rarer to find a tale about a postal jeep!

You can learn more about that book at Amazon.

From Amazon.com comes this description:

“LORIS JEEPApril 2000This is a story about a thirtyish woman, Lori Bearden, and her eight year old son. They live in a town south of Denver, Colorado that has been engulfed by the population that continues to pour into the Rocky Mountains Front Range every year from the West and East Coasts. Better employment is the name of her game, and she lands a job in the U. S. Postal Service delivering mail to the farmers and landed gentry on the eastern plains of Colorado. She buys an old, forlorn postal jeep to make her appointed rounds on the plains, and later meets a man who makes his living repairing these ancient jeeps. They soon discover that they need one-another.Then Lori discovers that her jeep repairman, Rafael Hernandez, has a second occupation much different from his first occupation, and she learns to understand and cherish a man who lives two lives.”

1963 CJ-3B Gratz, PA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“First the back story:  I plow snow with a 94 wrangler and had an older farmer friend for a customer. After completing a job, he mentioned he had an old jeep in his barn but hadn’t run it for years. Enter the 63 cj-3b you see here. We worked out a deal and I bought the jeep.  The jeep was in solid shape, except for the floors which sat under a roof leak. After a little work the motor fired right up. I have rebuilt a cj-5 and two cj-7’s but always had an eye for the high hood  cj-3b. I was going to modernize it as much as possible, to make it more road worthy on today’s roads, (v-6 motor, steering upgrade, brakes and such). But after doing the research on the history of the cj-3b and the good running condition that this one was in I couldn’t bring myself to alter it. So… I have restored it to as close to original as I could.

The body was completely disassembled steam cleaned and media blasted. The body was rebuilt as needed to original specs with all brackets and braces and spot welds as they should be. There are no welded over patches or body putty. The floors and box bed were replaced, and are exactly as they should be. The windshield is new as are the rubber gaskets. The body was painted plantation white as the paint code shows (actually the same paint mix with the right amount of flattening agent). The trim code showed a red that jeep (from research) used to paint fire vehicles, and upon cleaning the overly painted wheels red was the first color that they were painted. It also has a heater and defroster and two working vacuum windshield wipers .  New gas tank and cap and sending unit. The hood is nice and flat.

The frame was and is solid was no needed boxing or reinforcement. It was sand blasted and covered with por-15 frame paint.

The running gear was also steam cleaned and painted with por-15 frame or engine paint.  The transmission, transfer case, and front and rear diffs., were opened cleaned and inspected and resealed and filled with proper fluids. The motor ran fine for the two years I drove it. The compression was checked and was in the proper range, so I couldn’t see the benefit of taking it apart and rebuilding an already fine running motor. The carburetor was rebuilt, new plugs and wires new coil and the distributor was also rebuilt. The motor starts right up and runs smoothly. The tires are like new. Radiator flushed , new hoses.

Brakes were totally rebuilt with proper new steel lines and hoses, new brake linings wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Also new emergency brake lining.

A new wiring harness was installed with all clips and grommets. It was purchased from Carl Walck. All lights and signals and horn work as they should. All switches and dash knobs are new. As are throttle and choke cables.

The seats were rebuilt using as close to the original material as I could find. The stitch pattern is the same as the original seats.

All nuts and bolts were also replaced with stainless or grade 8.

A Meyers half top also goes with sale. The farmer had it but never installed it. I wet sanded it so it is ready for paint or polishing. The top is in excellent condition with no dings or dents.  Four tires with  wagon wheels also goes with sale.

For some reason there was no emergency handle with the jeep and I couldn’t find one, everything is there except the handle and cable. I have an under dash unit from a cj-5 that can be used but it wasn’t original so I didn’t install it. Your choice to use it.

This has been a long winded description, but I wanted everyone to know what you are bidding on.  I would recommend  trailering it home  if you are not familiar with the 3b it is geared extremely low and is wound out about 50 mph. Great for around town, not so much for open highway.  Also the top and tires would not be able to mount on the jeep. Thank you and happy bidding.”

1946 CJ-2A San Juan Mountains, Co eBay

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

This appears pretty stock.  It will probably restore pretty nicely.

“Serial number is 35945.  Odometer shows 36,262 miles and I am told that this is original mileage.  Has been garaged for many years.  All original.  Clear title.  Used to tool around the mountains of Southwestern Colorado.  Good running condition.  Four wheel drive works well in both high and low range.  Since it has been in Colorado all its life, no rust problems.  Has been repainted.

After it came out of storage, I had the following repairs done to it to return it to a safe driving condition;

  • all hoses and belts have been replaced
  • new distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires
  • front differential cover replaced
  • radiator flushed and new antifreeze added.
  • left rear brake drum rebuilt
  • new steering bell crank and drag link
  • new battery

Good tires, also has three other tires and wheels.  Has two sets of doors with hardware.  One set is original.  Has the back cover.  Comes with owners manual, mechanics manual and two boxes of extra parts.  Has Warn locking hubs.

A true classic that has not been messed with or altered !”

1960 FC-150 Derby, KS **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

I suspect that if you invest $37,500 worth of work and parts this might just be worth $38,500 by the time it is done.

“I have a 1960 FC 150 Jeep for sale. It is a jeep pickup that was produced in the late 50’s and 60’s. FC stands for Forward Control due to the cab being placed over the front wheels. It had a small pickup bed on the back originally. There are FC clubs and forums for these fun rare trucks and a lot of aftermarket parts are available. I also purchased an old military dump bed that is shaped a lot like the original bed and it will be included with the truck along with a 12 volt hydraulic pump. I haven’t done anything with this truck since I purchased it other than storing it and getting a title, so I don’t know the condition of the drivetrain. I didn’t get a front or rear driveshaft with it so I never tried to make it run. The frame is a regular cj type frame other than the weight bolted into the rear for stability so cj driveshafts would work. 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs and a 134 4 cylinder engine.”

GAZ-69 Kailua Kona, HI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This is unusual and in good shape.

“GAZ-69 took the place of GAZ-67B in 1953 and remained on assembly line till 1972 practically without changes. First cars have been produced in Gorkiy city (before 1930 and right now – Nizhniy Novgorod). Then, in December of 1954 production of GAZ-69 has began in Ulianovsk, UAZ. GAZ-69 production on GAZ lines has been cancelled in 1956. Officially GAZ-69 became UAZ-69, but new name didn’t get accustomed even in official papers. The engine of the car was taken from the famous “Pobieda” GAZ-M20. Strangely, the vehicle was not supplied with side mirrors. The only small mirror in the uppermiddle of windscreen was useless in tarpaulin covered car because of small rear window.
Before 1970 there was only rear window in the canvas top, then 2 windows appeared on every side.

New brakes installed, bought from Bulgaria. Headlight deflector/black-outs included. Canvas top needs restored. Will drive to dock for shipping. Shipping and payment to be set-up by buyer. Vehicle has just over 1,000 kilometers original.”
