1947 CJ-2A Senatobia, Ms $2500

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

UPDATE: Pics now provided.

(03/27/2011) Doesn’t run at the moment.

“I have had it for years and last used it in 2003. I put new tires on it at that time. It has a homemade metal top but no doors. It has a tow bar. It would take a battery and some carb cleaning to get it started up again. That is what I did when I bought it. The bad part as far as mechanical is it has no brakes. I never needed them as it is geared very low in low range and the other thing is when I got it the clutch had no fel to the pedal. I replaced the spring on the throwout bearing and that gave me a working clutch. Well, it has either come loose or broken so it is not working again. The spring is about 2.00 but you have to unbolt the transmission to put it on. I would like to get my aproximately 2500. out of it as I know in a day it would be back running but I do not have time. It has a little slack in the steering but the engine and transmission is fine. You could count the fan revolutions turning when it was running.Asking 2500. but would listen to a trade of something unusual and cash. This little thing would idle through almost anything but my family has no interest in it. Make an offer. It was red when I got it years ago and I spray painted it camo. That paint is coming off so it looks uglier than it really is.It has been kept in my barn. Call 662-288-Six Zero Two Zero”

1963 CJ-3B Lawrenceburg, TN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s an ex-Forest Service jeep with plenty of original extras.

“1963 Willys CJ3B U.S.F.S. Jeep for sale. This unit underwent a very expensive rebuild down to the last nut and bolt during 2006-2007. Since then it has lived in our dry garage with a soft cover on it. It has about 540 miles on it and used on sunnydays, a few weddings, parades, crusing the Nathez Trace, etc. I just uncovered it, cranked it up and drove out in the yard and snapped these pictures.If you are a Willys person you can see the care that was taken in putting this unit back into service. The color is 1962 willys cerulean blue with correct seats and covers. We have a rear passenger seat not shown that goes with it. The new sheet metal is from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All mechanicals are remanufactured by professionals, no patching, period. In addition to the standard equipment: F-134 Hurricane Engine, 3 spd transnsmission, 2 speed transfer case, original 1962 lock-out front hubs, 16” willys steel wheels. The goverment agencies added from the Willys Dealer on this one: Belt Driven Variable Speed Engine Governor, Rear P.T.O. Drive for Implements, Front P.T.O. Drive for the Keonig King Winch with plasma rope, Warn Over Drive for Highway travel, Fuel Pump with Vacuum Motor to operate 2 Windshield Wipers, F-3 Engine Oil Cleaner, Spartan Self Cancelling Turn Signals and more. Everything is as it should be. We prefer an alternator to insure reliability. The jeep is very quiet, and safe. If you want to built a rust free “new” willys you will spend double the price of this one. If you want to go on fun Jeep Rides and be the talk of any car show, it is available. Look on www.cj3bpage.com and go to 1962 owners. It is feautured there with another write-up and more pictures.”

(11/30/2010) Bob spotted this really nice original restoration.  I’d like to see some better pics.  I also really like the color scheme.  I do have a couple minor, really minor detail questions pertaining to originality.  Wouldn’t the bezels have been painting the body paint color (though I think they look better in black)? Also, wouldn’t the rear bumper have had the dropped PTO connector angle (though I like the looks of the bumper that was installed on this)?

“Early production column-shift model 20670.

Pounced: Biscuit Finally Has Its Name

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

It was sometime around mid-summer of last year (maybe earlier) when I started the project to place ‘Lost Biscuit’ on the hood of my jeep. It took a little longer than expected, but I finally did it.
First I had to decide which font to use. Fortunately,  I got some very helpful input along the way from Dexter (thanks) and eventually decided upon the Marker Felt font. Okay, that was pretty easy.

Now, how to get the name on the hood. After hmming and haaaing over how I wanted to attach the name (hand drawn, stickers, stencils, pay someone else … ), I finally decided I would do it myself using paint.  But, I knew my freehand drawing and painting skills froze around the 2nd grade, so this wasn’t something I could improvise. Since I had no immediate solutions, I decided to put the project on hold (which explains the delay).

One day this past December I was watching American Restoration on the History Channel.  The American Restoration show is a spinoff of sorts from the Pawn Stars show and follows various restoration projects from Ricks Restoration out of Las Vegas.  In one of the episodes, called Buttered Up (you can view it here), Rick restores an old popcorn machine.

To repaint the front of the popcorn machine, the painter used a technique that dates back centuries called pouncing. Pouncing? My ears perked up!

Pouncing?  Never heard of that. As usual, my computer was on my lap so I instantly googled pouncing.  I learned,

Pouncing is where pounce — loose graphite or charcoal — is rubbed through a series of small holes punched in a paper pattern to transfer the design to an item to be decorated

Well, I thought that would work for Biscuit’s name.  After some more research, I found out that quilters use pouncing for some stitch patterns.  So, the next day I hit some quilt stores.  As you can imagine, the conversation went something like this,

“Hi, I’m here because I want to paint a name on my jeep,” says I.

Blank stare from cashier, “what do you need?”

“I need stuff for pouncing” says I, remembering now that I probably had not shaved, maybe, not even showered, and most likely wasn’t quite dressed like customers they normally help (however, to my credit, I didn’t have on my garage jeans).

Another blank stare, “you want to do what?” I think she even had her finger ready to dial ‘9’ (and then ‘1’ ‘1’)

It turns out, not everyone knows what pouncing is, even at the quilt stores.  Eventually, after visiting a couple quilt stores, I found what I needed (you will see my pouncing supplies in a picture below).

Here’s the synopsis of this project.

1. Design and Print the template.  Then, since I didn’t have a good awl, I created my own awl out of tape, a chopstick and a long push pin.

2. Next, I attached the template to a piece of cardboard.  Then, I poked holes around the outer edge of all the letters.

3. With the letters outlined, I tested out the template on different materials to make sure it worked.  It turns out pouncing is pretty easy!

4. Selecting paint was the next step. So, I visited my local art supply store and explained to them what I wanted.  They directed me to an Acrylic Titanium White Tube from Windsor Newton. Along with the paint, they also suggested an acrylic spray on sealer and finisher from Americana. I took the paint home and tested it on different materials.  At first, I didn’t like it, because it wasn’t as smooth as the typical oil based house paint I had expected.  Instead, it had texture like a canvas artist would want.  But then, after staring at it a bit, I warmed to the texture, because it gave the name a hand generated feel.

5.  Yesterday, with the weather a little warmer, it was time to paint the name.  I got out my template, my paint, and my pouncing supplies.  I taped the template to the hood and prepared to pounce.

Over the course of my tests, the technique I found most successful for pouncing was not tapping the pouncer, but rather dragging it slowly across the holes.  This kept the paper from popping up and blurring the dots underneath.

The pouncing equipment consists of a pouncer with a ‘handle’ on one side and a soft side on the other.  There’s also a plastic container that can hold pounce.  Lastly, there is the white chalk.

6.  Now it’s time to paint.  I put three coats on each side. This image was taken after the first coat.

This is after three coats.

There is still some small edges that need cleaning up.  Once I do that, I’ll spray it and hopefully that will protect it!

“This jeep is a 2 owner. My neighbor used it for 50 yrs to plow the Court House but got sick and didn’t have a chance to restore it cause he died . He wanted me to have it but I’ve got to go to Phoenix for a heart surgery myself so I’m forced to sell. We ran a rubber gas line into a gas can and jumped the starter and it fired right up and we drove it home. It needs some TLC but did come with a plow and its a project that can pay for its self. It needs body work. I really would love to keep it and pull it behind my motor-home but cant. I have additional pics if interested. I really don’t want to part it out and would like to know it restored. I haven’t changed the title over cause its the oldest title Ive ever seen. ”

1953 CJ-3B Arlington, Fl **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

This might make a good project.

‘1953 Jeep CJ-3b
This Jeep is very original. It was purchased by me in Western NC from a man who purchased from the original owner. It was a farm Jeep and has very low mileage considering its age. I looked at 12 other 52-53 Jeeps before I decided to buy this one.

This is why I chose this Jeep:
The bad stuff:
typical rust, but not tons of it- most panels can be fixed easily as everything is flat
no top, but it does have the top frame, and one door
brakes need to be adjusted- the rear wheels lock up under heavy braking
the carb is new but it floods easily- I suspect the needle and seat assembly-some fuel lines need to be rerouted
typical decay of the original wiring harness
needs muffler welded on (I have a muffler)
brake lights are non-original and not working
seats need to be recovered

The good stuff:
it is 99% original
low miles 45K
the motor runs great
the differential works great
the tranny works great
the steering gear works great
the frame is solid
the tires are brand new (have receipt)
wheels were shot peened and painted with urethane (have receipt)
new front window (have receipt)
just about every part imaginable is available with a mouse click or a phone call
it just looks cool

I am selling this , because I have way too many projects , and this would be a great and easy project for someone. I have over $3000 in the Jeep. I will accept reasonable offers. I do not want any trades, as I do not need a divorce. Payment will need to be in cash.
( I am also selling a 1994 Jeep YJ with a 258, ps, pb, Sahara package, new sailcloth top, AM-FM CD, 7″ total lift on good BFG 33’s, Motorcraft 2100 carb swap–needs tuning, needs some work on the CAD front axle actuator as the vacuum nipple broke off $4 part—the paint is very nice with very little rust–witha few more dollars this could be a really nice Jeep—–$4200–I have $5600 in the Jeep—I’ll post pictures soon)”
