Alan has been sharing those great jeeping images from the Four Corners. He helps run a website called VMSB244.com where WWII men from the VMSB244 squadron are honored and remembered. One cool feature is that they have scanned original letters written by the men of that squadron.
1964 CJ-3B Meredith, NH **SOLD**
UPDATE: This sold very quickly. Was listed at $1500. (thanks Rich)
This has an unusual dash. This was for sale 3 years ago at a much higher price. This might be a good price even though it doesn’t sound like it runs at the moment.
“Been sitting for a couple of years, ran when put away. Don’t have the time for it.”
1943 MB/GPW Fallon, Nv **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4000
It’s a mix of both MB and GPW, but looks like a solid jeep for the price.

1965 Tuxedo Mark IV Greencastle, PA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Can someone explain to me why a PA title would need to be transferred at a messenger service (what is a messenger service)? The engine has been taken apart.
“1965 Jeep CJ-5A
Tuxedo Park Mark IV
This Jeep has been in our family for many years. The mileage is probably not correct but it says 22946. I was in the process of rebuilding the engine and restoring it. I have the head removed and valve/pushrod cover removed. Also various other engine parts have been removed and inspected to get to the engine. I have all the removed parts inside the Jeep. This Jeep has never been rebuilt prior to me working on it. The last time this Jeep ran was sometime in the 90’s. It sat in a garage until 2003. That’s when I brought it home and started working on it. Transmission is a T-90 3 on the tree. Engine is a Hurricane F-134, partly dismantled. I’ve included 24 pics on the site but if you would like more please let me know.
Please forgive me I’ve probably left out a lot of details.
But ask/email and I will answer and send as many specific pics as you would like.
The Jeep is for PICK UP ONLY! near Greencastle Pa. 17225.
The Jeep is near 99% original parts, as it has never been attempted to be restored other that the work that I’ve done on it.”
1962 DRW FC-170 Wolfeboro, NH $5200
This appears in good condition. It seems like a good price.
“This is a very rare Jeep Foward control dual rear wheel truck. Jeep made only 1610 . Alot of work and money on this truck. It runs drives and stops well. A new flatebed dump out of diamond plate. 7 brand new traction tires call 603-651-8686 Thanks”
1947 CJ-2A Palermo, Ca $2300

“PROJECT VEHICLE – 1947 Willys Jeep CJ3A with single windshield, very straight (a collectors item). No salt cancer (mechanics term). Engine needs to be rebuilt. Asking $2,300 OBO. Serious buyer only. Email or call Johnny @ 530.845.6072.”
1964 Wagon Tucson, Az **SOLD**
UPDATE: Dan now owns this Traveller. I didn’t know what a Traveller was when I first posted this in 2011.

1953 M-38 Phoenix, AZ **SOLD**

This is rough. Strangely, the two connecting bars between the front and back loops of the roll cage were cut out. You can just see where they were on both loops.

Les Schwab’s 1959 CJ-5 Bend, OR **SOLD**
UPDATE: Still Available
I hope someone can buy and properly restore Les’ Jeep (assuming the documentation confirms it was his jeep). For those that don’t know, Les Schwab bought a tire store in Prineville in 1952 that has become a 330+ store chain here in the west (company history). Not bad for a guy who became an orphan at the age of 15. I didn’t know him, but everything I’ve heard suggests he was a man of his word. According to one reader, he was an early champion of the Formula Desert Dogs. Les passed away in the summer of 2007.
“This jeep was one of Les Schawb’s that he had on his ranch for over 30 years. I have all DMV documentation and current registration”

1951 CJ-3A Hammonton, NJ **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3300.
Truly, one of a kind paint job.
“1951 Willys Jeep CJ3, powered by a 1966 Buick V6 engine. Three speed, lock out hubs. Most of it is original with exception of the engine and the seats. In decent shape but needs some TLC at this point. Hasn’t been started in a while but last time I used it it ran strong. Haven’t had time to do much with it over last two years and basically it’s just been sitting in the garage. Pretty much garage kept ’til about 3 weeks ago. Recently moved and decided to sell it ’cause storage space is now an issue. It has a title. Not looking to trade – just looking to sell. $3300 or best offer. ”

WWII Jeep at Small Museum in Auchonvillers, France
If you happen to be in France and staying at the Avril Williams Guest House, in Auchonvillers, France, you must take a trip across the street and visit the small museum. There you will find a set of compact dioramas from several wars. In the World War II diorama sits a restored MB or GPW of some vintage.
I found a pic of the jeep at this website, which follows someone’s journey through the battlefields of France.
