1946 CJ-2A Medina, Wa Price?

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no Price

If I interpret this ad correctly, this was a $40k present for his son (I have lots of thoughts here I think I will keep them to myself –btw, Medina is where Bill Gates built his 66,000 sqft house, so if this seller lives in Medina, I suspect he didn’t blink spending $40k on a jeep).  I’m not sure what the price on this is, but the reason for selling it is very funny: A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:(

This jeep had a frame up restoration and everything is either new or rebuilt. Some of the items include- fresh rebuild on L134 4 cylinder flat head motor, 3 speed over drive transimission, T-90 special transimission, front disc brakes, tires and wheels, full roll cage and nerf bars all tied to the frame, new interior, sterring wheel and column by Flaming River, stereo, front and rear speakers, gauges, indicator lights, and turn signals, heater, cb/pa and antenna, custopm bumbers, custom swing out spare and hilift rack, new top, doors, bimi, spare and hi lift custom covers, piaa fog lights front and rear, piaa horn,optima yellow top deep cycle battery, line lock brake system (like on dragsters) Viper security system, Tuffy Security Products center consul stereo compartment. Entire jeep is flat rattle can black, has never been off road and has less then 500 miles on it. A16th birthday present for my son, wife said no, wife is hott, jeeps gotta go:( Just under 40k into this all professionally built nicest 46 CJ2A that you could ever find anywhere!”

Roberts Armory Traveling Museum Rochelle, Il

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

Roberts Armory is a traveling museum located in Rochelle, Illinois.

According to their website, the museum “specializes in the acquisition and display of light armored vehicles and artillery used by the U.S. Army in World War II. During World War II reenactments the museum usually portrays the 70th Tank Battalion. The museum participates in WWII related displays, parades, motion pictures and reenactments throughout the United States.”

Roberts Armory has also been asked to participate in movies and shows.  Though Roberts appears to have a facility, unlike traditional museums, Roberts is only open for visitation on special days or by special appointment.

While Roberts only appears to have one 1945 MB, they do have a few different outfits for it.

1. Here it is with and without a top.

2.  Here it is with the 50 Cal gun mounted.

3.  Here it is in full armor.

1942 MB Slat Grille Sun City, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.

Looks nice. It is a no glove box MB.

“¼ ton 4 WD General Purpose Truck by Willys
LATER KNOWN AS A “JEEP”

Original, numbers matching 4 cylinder 60hp, 134ci L-head (Go-Devil) engine. Early SLAT GRILLS had no glove box, they had a round muffler, oil bath air cleaner and filter, rubber hood bumpers, solid wheels, three bolts spare tire carrier, no blackout driving lamps, no gas can holder, makers name was embossed on the rear panel and a slat grill on the Willys. As noted by the S/N the Jeep is an all original slat grill. The air filter is original to the jeep and is known as an oil bath air cleaner. The frame and body parts are all original (I have pictures available upon request).

The wheels are not “Combat Wheels”, but civilian wheels. Combat wheels were “Not of Issue” on prototype Jeeps. The reason being Willys also made cars prior to “¼ ton utility trucks” standards set by the US Government. To meet the demands of the government contract, they had to bid the entire Jeep under $400.00 a unit and in order to stay under budget; they sold themselves Willys automobile wheels in the very early production (VEP JEEP) versions.

Jeeps were notorious for not stopping very well, so I used 1954 Ford brake drums and pads to make them safer on the street and in parades.

I also converted the original voltage regulator/electrical system to a modern day 12 volt electronic ignition system for added dependability. The early Slat grill had no spare tire holder or exterior gas can.

Only 200 slat grills are estimated to have survived through 2006, according to Army Motors, the official magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Assoc.

The last Willys Slat Grill was S/N 125807, this is S/N 124833 and was delivered to the US Army on March 5, 1942. Full restoration was completed 2009 and she has appeared at hanger dances, parades, Veteran’s Day events, air shows, USO shows. It is a show vehicle, not a ramble through the brambles and the bushes jeep. It is “period correct” complete with 48 star flag, all canvas top, shovel and axe attached to side, and a copy of a M1 automatic carbine for the dash. I’d challenge any potential buyer to find another Jeep in such good shape, with all the parts present and as nice as this one. If it were perfect, it would sell in the neighborhood of $40,000 just like the Barrett-Jackson Jeep did last month.”

Drag Jeeps

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

UPDATE: An update on Rapid Transit

Jeff and I were exchanging emails about drag jeeps the other day.  We were both sharing our memories about Roger Monson’s drag jeep, Rapid Transit. As Jeff notes, it certainly had its own sound!

Jeff wrote “it had an actual belt driven blown 4cyl pontiac motor in it.  A small 471 blower, insane RPMs and crazy loud! If ya didn’t cover your ears when it came by it HURT.  I saw it run @ the old firemountain drag strip @ washougal in the mid 1980s”

I’ve included a pic of it below.  Wes has collected a variety of old school Sand Drag vehicles at offroadracecanada.  Check it out!

Builds: David’s ‘New’ Wagon

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

David wrote to me today to tell me about his first wagon project.  He got a great deal on it, especially for an eastern wagon, and has a restoration plan in place.

He writes, “My rough plan is sort of a rolling resto on a budget at first. Specifically, get motor running first…then brakes. Next will be things that need to be done for safe driving (signals, lights, windows fixed, emergency brake etc.).

After that I’d like to sand/blast to metal the worst of the unprotected areas (hood, roof paint pretty much gone) and epoxy paint and primer them, then gradually work on other issues. But first things first, have to get running and driveable cuz the wife is not gonna be very tolerant of it taking space in the garage if I can’t move it easily, lol.

On down the road I’d like to do a frame off. I’m not one of those chop em up and put a v-8 in it kinda guys, but not opposed to some mods like a brake upgrade or electric wipers to improve driveability. My overall goal of restoration will be to keep it as original as possible but I plan to use and drive it, not restore to mint or show condition (but who knows what the future will hold? I don’t plan to change anything that couldn’t be changed back to 100% original easily)”

Best of luck David!

This might work for someone.

“L134 Engine block, it was running when I took it out of the jeep about 6 moths ago. The guy I bought the jeep off of said he had the engine rebuilt about 10 years ago and just used it for plowing, so the jeep sat alot. The engine is free and will turn by hand, not seized. The number on the Engine bossbehind the water pump is either MJ2915 or MT2915. I really can’t make it out. On the head there is a stamp that says 6-48. Im not sure how old the engine is but is definetly not a Willys MB motor. Most likely out of a CJ2A or CJ3A. I took the valve cover off and it is pretty clean inside. I did not take off the head. There is no cracks or breaks in the block. It is in pretty good shape. I cracked the plastic timing gear trying to remove the engine plate. Other than the attachements on the motor, everything internal is complete and has not been touched”
