Here a CJ-3B with an unusual dash and steering wheel design. It’s got kind of an antique feel that I find interesting. It was photographed and posted by RUD66.
From a 1947 Racing Program **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There’s a neat drawing of a dealership on the back of this program. The Schotts owned a Willys Dealership (more than 1?). This is the same Schotts that would eventually own the Cincinnati Reds. There are a few items from their dealership still around, including this altoy jeepster and this ashtray plate.

How about this Trailer?
I’m not sure how this thing folds together, but I like the way it looks setup!
Robin Hood Popcorn
I like reading books about the history of odd subjects. Whether gum, beer , milk or salt, if it is a history about something food related, I want to read it. A few years ago I read a fun little book about the history of popcorn called Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America by Andrew Smith. I was surprised to learn how many different kinds of popcorn there are, having grown up on the basic non-branded yellow variety. So, when I spotted this article about popcorn trailers that were pulled by Willys Wagons, I thought it was interesting. Below you can see the trailers built by Clyde Gould, see one of two wagons that pulled them, and learn about his attempt to create a popcorn business. Unfortunately, the article doesn’t indicate how successful he was or what happened to the trailers.

1943 GPW South Carolina eBay
This looks good, though the pics aren’t the best.
“I am selling my 1943 WWII Jeep Ford GPW. This is the real thing runs and drives great. This would be a great vehicle for a frame up restoration or drive it like it is. I hate to let her go but remodeling house and need the cash. My lose is your gain if this is what you are looking for.
Good: Its the real deal. GPW Block, Willys Head, Many ‘F” stamps solid running vehicle original three speed 4wd works. two combat rims included and many other spare parts.
Bad: Converted to 12 volt (that may not be bad to some folks but not the original set up). Spings, shocks and spring hangers are not original. (original set of springs and new set of correct hangers included. Some Bondo in gas tank area (old repair) Does not have a top or bows aftermarket Warn locking front humbs installed.

1942 GPW Crawford, CO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Winning bid was $4000.
This no reserve auction has already reached a bid price of $3500. It has no motor.
“You are bidding on a rare 1You are bidding on a rare 1942 ford script gpw jeep. This ford jeep has the willys frame with gpw serial number stamped on it which to my understanding is rare as ford used willys frames only in February and March of 1942. The serial number is ( gpw 5204 ) the frame, data plate and title all match, Date of delivery is 3-10-42 . I have a clear Colorado title for the jeep.
Unfortunately the engine was removed so the jeep does not come with a motor. I do however have a completely rebuilt civilian flat head 4 cylinder that the winning bidder can purchase if they so choose.
The transmission is an original T-84, I have taken it apart cleaned, sandblasted and primed it. I bought some new bearings, seals, small parts kit and a few other things to rebuild the transmission, its ready to put back together.
The transfer case I took apart and cleaned, It still has the original OD on it so I decided not to sand blast it. The emergency brake pad is in great shape. I bought seals and bearings for it and its also ready to be put back together.
Seat frames, front fenders, head lights, marker lights, radiator, body handles, ax bracket, leaf springs, axles, U bolts, and a lot of bolts are stamped F along with much much more.
The steering wheel is original and in great condition with no cracks.
Speedometer looks really nice
Comes with 3 combat wheels
has original exhaust pipe and muffler
original drive shafts
very nice windshield frame with the hardware to mount the canvas top, no cracks in the glass ether.
the frame is in great shape but does need a new rear bumper as part of it was cut off.
The body is in good shape with a very nice Ford script on the back. The brace under the passenger seat has some rust coming through on top of the floor but under neath is almost perfect, in front of that is very nice and solid with no rust. The rear floor does have some gone through rust in it so will probably need replaced or patched up. tool boxes are in good shape, there is a little gone through rust where the ax handle goes and the fuel tank sump should probably be replaced. Other than that the body is very nice and has the patina look to it….”
1954 CJ-3B Nampa, ID **SOLD**

“For Sale 1954 Willys 3B. has a 2″ lift, 31″ tires that are almost new. Has the original 4 cyl. I really hate to see it go.”
1946 CJ-2A Skiatook, OK $1500
No title. Now that’s a hood bump!
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A JEEP–$1500 OBO, this is my mechanics hunting jeep, I am listing it for him. Call Bryan at Bryan’s Automotive at nine-one-8-991-0-two-one-two, he can tell you all about it.
It starts, runs, drives, and stops great, 4 wheel drive works great, has a great running “F” head engine, (more power than the original flathead engine),T-90 tranny does not jump out of gear, (transfercase needs shift levers, they are included, you install if you want), never overheated while roaming around the lease for several hours at a time, tires are old, but have never lost air while he has had it, a spare will be included, has oil and temp gauge (important to have) changed to 12 volts with alternator and battery.
It runs great, but looks like _ _ _ _, well you know what I mean, looks good at 40 feet. But, the looks doesn’t keep it from running great and you don’t have to worry about scratching it up, …all in all, it is a great old jeep to just have fun with.
Does not have a title, bill of sale will be provided, I can get titles for around $200 extra if you want one.”
1946 CJ-2A Atkinson, WI $2000
This has an early body.
“I thought I would throw my Willys on here to see if there was any interest. It is a 46, has a ford 302, ford 9″ rear end with a spool, dana 44 front end, dana 300 twin stick transfer case, and runs and drives pretty well. It does need some work. It could use new leaf springs (which I have) the lights wired, a little body work, and gauges hooked up. I was using it as a big ATV, but lost access to the land I was driving it on. I don’t have a title for it, but I can get one for it if that is a deal breaker. I don’t NEED to sell it, but I want to see what I might be able to get for it since I don’t use it any more. Don’t be afraid to make me an offer. It’s a fun little toy or a drivable project that would be pretty bad ass when it’s finished.
I’m asking $2000 or best offer”
