Air Police

• CATEGORIES: Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Buz forwarded me an “Air Police” jeep  for sale at eBay.  Clearly there are some issues with this ‘restoration’.  One choice I thought was strange was the “Air Police” label itself; but, then I started doing some research and found some references to Air Police Jeeps.  If Ann weren’t sleeping so soundly beside me, I’d wake her up and ask her about Air Force Jeeps.  Instead, I’ll let her sleep.   You can see more jeeps and learn more about them through the links below:

This is the “Air Police” M-38 for sale on eBay:

Flint’s Schoolbus Wagon

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

Flint got this modified wagon as part of a trade with a reader named Dan.  Since that time he’s been doing some additional suspension changes and having some fun with the paint job.  His faded school bus art fooled me into thinking it had been there for years.  Thanks for sharing Flint.

1943 MB w/trailer Klamath Falls, OR **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay

“As my project draws to a close, I offer for sale this 1943 Willys 1/4T Reconnaissance Truck (jeep)(MB213995) and Willys 1/4T Trailer, Utility, restored to motorpool standards.   For those of you who have not experienced military life, this means running correctly with the correct components as required to safely operate the vehicle during the WWII era.  The only exception to this is the trailer which has not yet been restored, which would not stop you from driving the jeep and trailer in most parades without doing a thing to it.  I have documented the entire tub off restoration of the jeep and assure you both run well.   All the jeeps major systems (drive train, engine, trans, TC, electrical, fuel and brakes) have been thoroughly disassembled, cleaned, repaired or replaced and reassembled with era-correct reproduction or original NOS parts as specified in SNLG503 (the Army parts catalog for this type of vehicle). I have only really begun to return the 1944 Willys MBT trailer to it’s former glory, I serviced the wheel bearings,brakes and cosmetically cleaned up the trailer, so the new owner can have an active hand in the final restoration.  The trailer will need have a wiring harness installed and mount some NDT tires to completely match the jeep.  I want potential bidders to know that the trailer lunette and rims are post WWII parts from the sucessor to this model the M100.  As anyone who gets bit by the “OD Fever” will tell you it’s impossible to restore one of these old warriors to working condition, by the book, without spending a few bucks along the way.”

UPDATE:  Terry points out that the cowl suggests this is a CJ-3B.  After looking at it again, I’d say he is right.

1948 CJ-2A Glens Falls, Ny $550

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

Given the running gear, there appears to be some value.  Not a whole lot though.

“1948 Willys for parts or restoration. Engine/drivetrain all there.(Got engine running for around a min. a year ago and it sounds like it needs an engine rebuild) DOES NOT RUN CURRENTLY. FRAME has crack in it that and looks like a previous owner bolted plates to try to repair frame (see pic). Has passenger seat as well. Floor pans pretty much gone as well as seen in pics.
Call 518-eightfivenine-sixsixfour8 or email me about questions or if interested no spammers..
Selling due to two many car projects going on and unfortunatly not enough money to restore. $550.00 or best offer.

CJ-5 Surrey

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

Speaking of unique Surreys, Mike wrote the following Comment:

“Back in 1962, One of my dad’s favorite hangouts, Lee’s tavern on Crooks Ave. in Clifton, NJ bought a special order CJ5 with a pink surrey fringe top and matching upholstery. It was the talk of the town. This Jeep was a double twist on the phrase “special order”. It was a first generation Tuxedo Park model with the featured color scheme of white body with red grille and red wheels, along with the surrey top and seat covers which were installed over stock upholstery at the factory. The local legend story at the time was; He had to wait 6 months for delivery.”

So, I spent some time searching for a CJ-5 Surrey picture. I didn’t find any real ones, but I did find one toy:  A CJ-5 toy from 1960.
