No Updates Tonight (Monday Night)

The pass was too snowy for us to cross today, so we took the long way down to Portland and east to Pasco. I’m tired. So, no updates tonight.  I’ll update tomorrow night.

Just for fun, here are a few pics of the recycled Starbucks in Tukwila Washington we visited on Friday.  It is made out of shipping containers, among other items.

The DJ-3A Surrey at the Wailea Hotel on Maui, Hawaii

I received an email from Paul the other day and the subject read ‘Refreshing’.  One quick look at the picture in the email explained what he meant (see the 1st picture below).

Yep, that is one pretty jeep!

Using the keyword “Wailea” I started tracking down more pictures of it.  It turns out Colin has a couple of them too, as does a friend of his.  So, here are a few of this jeep that is still owned by the Wailea Hotel in Maui (boy, after today’s cold weather, Maui is sounding awfully nice!)

More pictures I found on the internet:

And from Colin, you can see the jeep prior to the stenciling:

Moonshiner’s 2012 Swapmeet Report

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

Thanks to Herm, Richard, Don and Marty for sharing their space with us!

It was a wet and cold morning when Ann and I arrived at the Puyallup Fair Grounds for the 2012 Swap Meet.  Because we dropped our stuff off on Saturday, there was very little for us to bring in, so we arrived at 7:30AM, pulled out some books, tshirts and business cards and began our wait for the gates to open at 9AM.

It was a cold wait as I was under the impression that they would close the large doors to the build where the space was located, so neither Ann nor I were dressed especially warm,  but the windy cold weather blew in all day.  We did our best to keep warm.

I really didn’t know what to expect when the crowds arrived, but eventually we were selling both books and tshirts, so by day’s end I was pleased by the results.  Even better, there were a surprising number of people who hadn’t heard of eWillys, so many business cards were passed out.  Ann also went around letting people with older jeeps know that I would list their jeeps for free if they didn’t sell.  More than a few wondered what the ‘catch’ was.  She tried to explain that there was no catch, but I don’t think everyone was sold on that.

A number of readers stopped by, some to just say hi and that they loved the site, others stayed longer and talked.  Even my cousin came by, though I’d forgotten to text him I was there.  A few of the guys from the space next to us came over.  It turns out they were from the Misfits Jeep Club, which was a club based partly in Renton, so I was familiar with the club (truth be told, I had a crush on one of the female members of the club in high school, but that’s another long story).  Anyway, Bob Miles and Bob Moran were members of the Seattle Jeep Club, so they knew many of the older PNW4WDA and Wandering Willys Jeep Club Member folks that I knew.

So, despite the cold weather, the swap meet was bigger than ever and people found treasures in other peoples junk.  Ann did takes some pics, but I will download and publish them tomorrow.  I’m wiped today.

Looks like snow in Snoqualmie Pass tomorrow (pass is currently closed as of Sunday Evening) so we will be taking the longer way back to Pasco.  We are hoping to have time to drop by the WAAAM to take pictures of the jeeps on our way through The Dalles, Oregon.

• CATEGORIES: Unusual, Willys Wagons • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

1945 MB Las Vegas, NV **SOLD**

There are some minor issues that keep this from being a completed restoration, but this looks solid.

“1945 WWII Willys Jeep (MB) with .50 Cal Machine Gun

This is an authentic WWII U.S. Army 1945 Willys Jeep (MB) with a real M2 .50 Cal. ‘Ma Duce’ (non-firing) Machine Gun, both in great condition.

GUN:

The .50 Cal MG has all original gun parts except the left and right side panels. The gun can be made to fire propane but can NOT be made to fire live ammunition and therefore does not require any special permits.

The charging handle operates perfectly just like an original gun and will cycle ammunition. A belt of display ammo is included as is a WW2 .50 ammo box.

The mount is also an authentic military MG mount and is NOT a repop or home built mount.

Included is an authentic military canvas gun cover, NOT homemade or a repop and a .50 Cal Gun Crate built from original military specs to carry and store the gun when on the Jeep.
Please note that the gun will be sold with the Jeep and will NOT be sold separately under any circumstances or offers.

JEEP:

The Jeep runs like a champ and starts up every time.

The vehicle was restored by me a few years ago and has been used in a movie, TV program, parades and car shows.

The engine is war time engine with the correct T-84 transmission. It’s been converted to a 12 volt system but contains many 6 volt parts for appearances purposes.
Engine compartment contains all accurate parts as would appear on a 45 Willys such as fuel filter, fuel pump, air cleaner, oil can, horn, regulator box, lube chart and grease gun.

The ‘tub’, is also an original war time tub and is in great condition (NOT a repop). The frame is in good condition but has been repaired. A rebuilt war-time frame, primed and ready to install is available but is NOT included in the sale.

All US stars and markings are exact and accurate to 1945 WW2 Jeep of the ETO.

Canvas top, seats, windshield cover are all brand new from Beachwood Canvas.
Includes five original WW2 combat rims (not repop).

The Jeep is all there as it stands and does not need anything to make road and car show ready, but for those who would like to tinker on it there are few minor items that could be finished off.

The Jeep is currently registered and insured here in Nevada with a clear Nevada title. Out of state buyers are responsible for pickup, but transportation is available to some locations at an additional cost. Payment is to be in cash or certified bank check that would be cashed on delivery before the title is signed over.
No out of state or country ‘check scammers’ will even be considered.

Asking price for the Jeep with the gun as it stands is $12,500.00”

1948 Jeepster Smith River, Ca $10,000

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

This looks nice.

“The Willys Overland Jeepster is extremely rare and prized collectable. This is an older (15 year) restoration of an Arizona car and would rank about 6 to 7 on a 10 pt appraisal system. It has a Chevrolet 350/350 combo w/Mustang front end and disc brakes to make it a really good driver. Only 5500+ miles since restoration but it has been in locked dry storage for many, many years and that takes a toll. Vehicle is fully set-up to tow with a built-in tow bar and transmission drive shaft disconnect; you will also want to take note of the very unusual swing-away fat man style steering wheel which alone would fetch about $1000 due to condition and rarity. It is believed that fewer than 1600 Jeepsters remain in the world. This Jeepster is stored in Smith River, CA and is available for inspection by appointment. This is a very attractive price intended to move the vehicle now; so call now and enjoy the beautiful spring in a great 4 seat convertible.”
