UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1500.

(05/02/2012) It runs, but needs some work.

“I have for sale a great running 1946 Willys with the original motor and good 4 wheel drive… she starts and does not smoke, body is fair, about 1/2 of it was done by a local body man and the rest by me when he got to busy to work on it, so most of it looks good… the jeep has two newly recovered seat worth 300.00 alone… things that need to be done are the brakes as the master cylinder is froze up, and lights need to be hooked up with tail lights..also the drivers side of the windshield is cracked and should be replaced….. The buyer can have choice of the wheels on the jeep or good chrome wide wheels… this jeep may also be on ebay for sale, I usually buy old jeeps and part them out for projects but this one is to good to do that to… the whole interior has been repaired and sprayed with the bedliner spray….it holds up good and looks good…920-856-65three nine”

The Teapot Service Station is Gone??

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

Last week on our way to my parents, Ann told me she wanted to stop at the Teapot Gas Station (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_Service_Station), not to be confused with the Teapot Dome Scandal.  The Teapot Dome Service Station is one of those odd side-of-the-highway tourist stops along Interstate 82 in Zillah, Washington.

When you are bulleting past at 70 mph, it is one of those places where it is easy to say “we’ll stop next time”.  Well, I’ve been saying that for more than six years.  Ann has been saying it longer.  So, when she says “it’s time to stop”, I took her request seriously.   Well, almost seriously.  I did give her one of those looks of, “do you really mean it or are you joking”.  She returned the look of, “I am not joking”.  It turns out she really meant it.  I really didn’t mind as it was a beautiful day and we were in no particular hurry.

We pulled off the freeway, crossed the freeway over a bridge, and pulled up to the place where the teapot stop was supposed to be.  Only, it was missing.  Everything was there — pumps (can’t see them in the pic), a sign, a foundation — except for the teapot itself.

Confused, we both immediately reached for our phones and revved up our Googlers.  Truth was, we were also racing to see who could learn the fate of the teapot first.  We do that a lot.  We are both competitive.  In fact, it pains me to say it, but, yes, she won.  The Android beat the iPhone.  Maybe it was operator error?

Humbled by my defeat, we focused on the fate of the teapot building.  We learned that just over a month ago, in March of 2012, the Teapot was moved to a new location closer to downtown Zillah, a town not much bigger than the teapot itself.  Somehow, it had been hit by a car.  We both suspect that probably alcohol had been involved . . . or just plain stupidity.

After taking shots of the non-existant teapot, we raced into town to get pictures of us and this unusual landmark.

It just goes to show that sometimes stopping ‘next time’ will be too late.  Carpe Diem when you have the chance.

Wagon Question …

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

Robin had a question about  a wagon he just bought.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to research it at the moment, so I’ll throw it out to you all.

Robin writes, ” just purchased a 1957 Station Wagon that, from the pictures on Craigs List, appeared to be a Parkway conversion. Upon further inspection I am totally confused. It has the rear doors of a delivery wagon that appear to be factory. The windows however, are not flush but recessed and the wheel wells are squared instead of rounded. The history, according to the seller, was:

1. sold to US Forest Service
2. 12 years ago sold to a fella in Moab, UT.
3.  The gentleman I purchased it from got it three years ago and used it as a “daily driver” for two years. It sat for one year when they decided to sell it.

To make a long story short; did they make station wagons with the “delivery” doors?   Some more pics here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/alturusphoto/sets/72157629855658998/

1946 CJ-2A Basalt, Co **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay

“This 4WD Willy’s Jeep runs and drives and has a clear Colorado title. It was purchased by the present owner in Colorado in the late 1970’s. The vehicle is located in Basalt, CO and is advertised locally for sale. The Jeep is original except for electrical 6 to 12 Volt conversion, hydraulic brakes and repainted. The original 4 cylinder engine runs and has been started annually just about every year during the 34 years it has been garaged. The Jeep was driven out of the garage a couple of months ago for taking a series of photos. While in storage, the owner drove the Jeep about once a year, mostly around town. The engine runs good and the Jeep is drivable. It is comfortable at 40 MPH although it will go 45 MPH. These speeds are typical for older Jeeps and should be anticipated by the new owner. The seals will need replacing due to the lack of use and a long period in storage. The vehicle has seen less than 100 miles of off road four (4) wheeling in the last 34 years.  The Jeep has some minor surface rust in small areas that could easily be repaired. The original speedometer was replaced and shows 2114 miles since the early 1980’s. The actual mileage is unknown. Around the same time the speedometer was replaced, the cylinder head was also machined and the head gasket replaced. A new gas tank was installed in 2011 to keep the fuel filter from clogging due to aged and varnished gas in the old tank . . .”
