The seller is not sure what the model is, though the title say 1942.  I’d say it is a CJ-3A.

1951 M-38 Catonsville, Md $1995

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1995

(10/27/2010) “Up for sale is my ’51 Willys M38. Think of it as a beefed up CJ3.

NADA Classic Car Price Guide (for the civilian version- the CJ3) lists low retail @ $4,489.

This vehicle runs and drives and I have a clear title.

Has a Ford “Pinto” 4 cylinder with good power but it needs a tuneup. Original transmission and 4X4components are in place and working and there are working manual front hubs.

THE GOOD:
– body (tub and fenders) and hat channels are very solid.
– frame is solid.
– windshield frame is original and solid but the glass is cracked.
– 4 new off road tires mounted on new wagon wheels.
– newish gas tank.
– newish muffler/tailpipe.
– brand new battery.

THE BAD:
– has a civilian CJ hood but it’s in good shape.
– hand painted
– brakes are very weak- probably needs cylinders and perhaps master cylinder rebuilt

I’ve decided to use my spare time for my boys not my toys. I don’t need to sell so PLEASE NO LOW BALL OFFERS. My price if fair.

This Jeep obviously came originally from somewhere that they don’t rust much.

Please no calls after 8PM. I will consider delivering within 50 miles of Baltimore.

James; 240- five two oh- 4632.”

(11/09/2011) This looks solid.

“This is a 51 Willys Overland pickup. She runs well and would be excellent for restoration. It has the f134 motor in it and is mostly original parts. There are minor issues such as it needs a new wiring harness.and a good tune up to dial it in. There is some rust, but nothing real significant. It was given to me from my grandfather and I drove it from Spokane 10 years ago. It has been kept covered and dry. I have recently driven it around and she does fine.

1946? Ford? Jeepster West Valley City, Ut **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Bob from Ohio bought this.  I can’t wait to hear more about it.  Was listed at $1000.

Bob forwarded this to me via the CJ-2A Page. It’s an odd duck. I am thinking it it is a shortened Jeepster on a CJ frame.

“46 Ford Jeepster a one of a kid. Needs a lot of work but has a lot of potential. I bought the car 16 years ago and haven’t had the time or money to get it restored. It has some transmission problems and other minor problems, dead battery, etc. Has new tires. I need to sell it as soon as possible and the price is negotiable..”

Robin emailed me the other day asking how rare Willys trucks with tow packages are.  Before answering her question, I did some searches to make sure my answer, which was yes, was correct.  That’s when I came across these two pictures.  One is a beautiful Willys Tow Truck and the other is entirely odd ball.

This is a picture that is being auctioned on eBay:

Snow Blows

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

The last hour of our 31 hour drive from Long Island to Rapid City, SD, was the longest of our trip.  The running joke between Ann and I was that the weather always seemed worst when i was driving.  Well, this time she took the brunt of the bad driving.  With 45 minutes left as we drove into the hills on I-90  just before Rapid City, the snow started falling hard.  With temperatures hovering around 27 degrees, the snow stuck immediately.  The closer we got to Rapid City, the more the snow fell and the snowier the freeway became.  Every mile got worse as the freeway turned white; snow rules were the norm and ‘lanes’ vanished.  We were happy to arrive, tired, rummy, and ready to sleep.

Once we arrived at the motel, after talking with travelers coming from Montana and Wyoming, coupled with reports that it would snow heavy on Saturday, we booked a room for two nights.  So, after two days of racing west hoping to miss the snow, instead we find ourselves buried under it for the next two days.  But, it’s not so bad being trapped in a motel room with Ann …. below is the view out our window.

History Czar Interview

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

For his 100th podcast, the History Czar, Paul Bruno, interviewed me last weekend while Ann and I were at Niagara Falls. We discussed a variety of topics during our 48 minute conversation, including my upcoming book, eWillys, my background, and our mutual frustration regarding a jeep museum, or lack thereof.   (The site containing the interview is no longer available).

During our conversation, Paul kindly labeled me a jeep historian; pre-eminent was his adjective of choice.  However, there are many expert jeep nuts out there who know more than I, so don’t let all his kind words fool you:  I’m still learning!

Overnight with Andy and Wallis

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

On Sunday night, after our brush with the law at the NYC’s water reservoir, Ann and I stopped in the Catskills to spend the night with Andy and Wallis.  Andy has a few jeeps he wanted to share with me, but we got there too late to look around, so we went down to a local restaurant for a few drinks and some delicious dinner, before returning to the cabin.

Our nightcap for the evening was to watch an episode of Pan Am, because Andy had just sold a jeep to them for use in an episode of the show.  If you watch the episode, you can spot the M-38A1D (the identifier is its unique passenger side piece that runs around the top side rim along the rear of the body).  Here is an example of a stock M-38A1D.

Only a few minutes away from the that start of the tv show that featured the jeep, the power in the cabin suddenly shutdown.  There seemed no cause for the power outage.  We heard no wind, saw no rain, and experienced no weather problems at all.  Sure the power would come back on, said Andy and Wallis, just wait a few minutes.  So, we waited five minutes, then ten minutes, and longer.  While Wallis and Andy apologized, Ann and I were perfectly happy, as it was quiet and peaceful, with the flicker of candles and the fireplace firelight filling the rooms.  Eventually, we gave up  waiting for the power and went to the sleep.

In the middle of the night, power (and civilization) returned, with the tv and the lights powering on.  So, we shut down the lights and tv and went back to sleep.

The next morning Andy took us over to Terry’s Jeep Farm, a visit I highlighted yesterday. When we returned to his place, he showed me a few of his jeeps.  Below are a few pictures from the tour.  I’ve also included a link to the 11/13/2011 tv show of Pan Am.  Thanks to both Andy and Wallis for their hospitality!!

http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/pan-am (click on 11/13/2011 video)

Here’s Andy and I in his property cart, a really handy way to get around.

Here’s a nice original piece of Ford Windshield Glass

Based on feedback he has received, Andy believes this GPW had a top added during the Korean War by the motor pool to turn it into an Ambulance.  Andy had this for sale back in October, but it didn’t sell a the price Andy wanted.
