JP Magazine Article on Buying Old Jeeps

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

Roberto spotted this article in JP Magazine which discusses inexpensive ways to get into an old jeep.  They cover Willys Wagons & Trucks, CJ-5s, Jeepster Commandos and Fullsize Jeeps.  I think their price points align with what I have seen as well.

You can view the full article here

Below is part of a pic from the article.  I thought it was a great pic.

1947 CJ-2A Mayville, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a NellyBelle look-a-like. Note the bent frames rails in the fourth pic.

“”Whoa Nelly”  Being a fan of  Roy, Dale and Pat I decided I wanted a Nelly Belle of my own so this 1947 CJ2A turned into one.  It sure isn’t “the” Nelly But I think Pat would recognize her.   She is very stock, 6V, L head stock axels.  Tires about 2 years old with less than 500 miles.  Radiators good, fuel tanks new, all gauges work. Starts, runs and stops fine.  No steering wobble.  The Nelly Belle tins included of course, 20 mm ammo cans, hand fabricated doors and a cut down windshield complete with gun port.  She’s ready to parade or play, biggest problem is finding people who know who Roy, Dale, Pat and Nelly are.  Isn’t that a shame.”

1946 CJ-2A Escondido, Ca $2500

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

UPDATE:  Still Available

(07/30/2011) The seller knows the whole history of this jeep.

“1946 Willy’s bought new at Al Archard Motors 224 E. Grand ave, Escondido. Has the very desirable half cab top that was originally canvas but was covered in galvanized tin back in the early 1950’s by tom Bandy’s Blacksmith shop. She starts right up and purrs ! Engine runs strong and all gearing and four wheel drive components function. It will need the brakes, steering, suspension and cooling system addressed before putting her back on the road. This jeep was built for both agricultural use and recreation. The prior owner told me stories of he and his father driving it up 395 into the Sierras in the 1950’s then returning home to use it as the tractor on the ranch. It was still attached to a plowing disc when I purchased it. This little Willy’s is perfect for parades, Tractor shows or just looking good in the yard. I have title and it is registered ‘non-op’.”

http://imcdb.org/vehicle_107684-Willys-MB–Jeep-.html

According to IMDB, “This film depicts World War II through the eyes of several Dutch students. It follows them through the beginning of the war, the Nazi occupation and the liberation.”

Buz spotted this beautiful CJ-2A that will be auctioned August 20th. You can learn more about the auction at the Owls Head Transportation Museum or visit the museum, which is on Route 73 about 85 miles north of Portland, Maine.  I think that will be a long drive for most of us!

It isn’t particularly stock, but it looks nice enough.

Willys Overland Van New Cumberland, Pa **SOLD**

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

UPDATE 2:  This sold for $430.

UPDATE: This is a real Willys Overland Panel Van and likely the last one around.  Thanks to Glenn & Colin for identifying this.

Notes from emails:
The script on the front is the same as the 46-49 Willys station wagon tailgate script.

In 1950 Willys Overland lost the rights to use the full name, so they had to switch to Willys.

Willys 2WD trucks had column shifts from 1947 until end of 2WD production and this van sits on a 2WD Willys truck chassis, so mechanically, it would be like a Willys truck or Willys 2WD station wagon. The truck chassis had a wider track at the rear and a longer wheelbase that the station wagon, but same Jeep engine and transmission.

Seller info: “EXTREMELY RARE WALK IN METRO VAN-I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT-IN FACT, I NEVER KNEW THAT WILLY’S MADE THIS TYPE OF TRUCK. THERE IS NO TITLE NOR ANY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, I CAN ONLY GUESS THE YEAR TO BE LATE 50’S TO MID 60’S. LOTS OF RUST, SOME BROKEN GLASS, MISSING THE BACK DOORS, SIDE DOORS THERE BUT RUSTED BADLY, FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED.  NO MOTOR, TRANS, WHEELS BUT THE ROOF IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO HOLES. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THIS IS A RUSTY PIECE OF HISTORY WITH THE EXTERIOR IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.  THE REALLY COOL PART IS THAT THE WHEELBASE IS 119″ CENTER TO CENTER BY 57” WIDE TO AXEL BACK PLATE.  LATE MODEL CHEV OR FORD 4X4 HAS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME DIMINSIONS.  THE WHEEL OPENINGS ARE PRETTY WIDE OPEN SO IT CAN EASILY CHEAT AN INCH OR TWO EITHER WAY.  I WANTED TO MAKE THIS SWITCH AND HAVE A ONE OF A KIND TRUCK THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE BUT HAVE NEITHER THE TIME NOR MONEY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS.  I AM SURE SOMEONE HAS BOTH AND HAVE OFFERED THIS ON A “NO RESERVE” BASIS.  KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT A ROLLING ASSEMBLY AND MUST BE PLACED ON A TRAILER OR ROLL BACK TO BE MOVED. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO GET A FEW OVERALL PICS BUT I THINK THEY SAY IT ALL.  IT’S A PROJECT BUT IT’S WAY COOL AND DEFINETLY A ONE OF A KIND FIND. I HAVE LIMITED INFORMATION BUT CAN BE REACHED AT 717 329 8882 AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW.”

1945 GAZ 67B Russian Vehicle

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

UPDATE: Steve notes the original GAZ was built in only 50 days based on a newspaper clipping.  Here’s additional information:

http://wwiijeepparts.com/Archives/WW2RussianGAZJeep.html

====

Darrel wrote me recently noting that he has a 1945 GAZ-67B living in his garage. He said it was also known as an Ivan-Willys, which is similiar to a real Willys, because it has a Ford-A engine that was made in Russia under license.  It is cool! Thanks for sharing Darrel!

Darrel writes, “The GAZ 67 World War Russian vehicles were produced from 1943 to 1953. There were only 5000 of these models made during the war, but in total there were  92,843 of these models produced. It had a 4-cylinder 3280 cc gasoline motor and a top speed of 90 km/h (56 mph).”

And here is a GAZ 67 and GAZ 67B  video with some strange music …
