A Silent Night

Given it’s the holidays, calling tonight a Silent Night seems appropriate as I found very few jeeps for sale of interest.  So, the few I found I’ll save for tomorrow.

Besides, I’ve been checking out the new Google Books search query and have found some additional family history to add to my geneology research.

Right now I’m doing a search on “Willys Jeep” using Google Books and hope to find something interesting.  If I do, I’ll report it tomorrow.  Enjoy your night!

Located in Petaluma, California, The Richard Penry Medal of Honor Memorial Military Museum appears to have two Willys.  One is well restored (though I have a question) and the Second one is part of a diorama and tipped on its side.

Here’s the first, a Slat Grille MB.  These images are from Wikipedia.  My question is … isn’t that front cross member from a GPW and not a MB? Or am I missing something?

The back of this MB:

Here’s the tipped over Willys.  I couldn’t find a better pic of this.

Brett spotted this find. It appears to include an overdrive, so this might not be a good price.  It even runs.

“Very cool Jeep CJ-5, Runs and drives but needs a tune up. Way fun to drive and would be an awesome muddin’ machine. This jeep is rare as in its the old military style. It is a manual and has the 3 little shifters along with gear shifter. i dont know much about it come and buy it today!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

The price appears good, however the engine, though running, needs to be replaced for some reason. Also, I would check out the passenger side entrance as it looks either dented or bondoed (or both).

“This is a super cool 51 Willys! This old jeep would be a great project to restore to its glory days!  Engine will run, but will need to be replaced.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

(10/11/2010) Steve spotted this ad.  It is a generator that uses a Willys engine.  This one appears in good shape.

“WWII military, model PE-95-G, ser.# 893, 10 kw output, Jeep gas engine powered, Onan generator; generator has 486 total hrs., engine has less than 5 hrs. since overhaul. Unit is skid mounted, and, in normal military configuration, was in a trailer for portability. It is NOT movable by hand. Weight is about 1500 lbs. Capable of either 110 or 220 volts, normal AC power. Engine is the venerable old Willys flathead 4 cylinder. Purrs like a kitten. Has all new valves, new rings, rebuilt carb, complete new tune-up & all new gaskets on engine (**except timing case cover**). Plasti-gauged all the bearings when rehabing it & they are all in new OEM spec. Also included is a copy of one of the maintenance manuals which, unfortunately, does not include basic operation info. I’m selling it because it is the old 40’s/50’s technology & honestly, it’s to complicated for this ol’ boy!! Will consider trade for part/all of price for any of the following:* 5 or 6′ 3 pt. hitch auger type snowblower, * VW based sandrail or unfinished project (notice rt. rear of pic1) or substantial parts for same, * Modern-idiot proof-5or 6 kw portable generator,”

UPDATE:  Status unknown.  Was listed at $2000.

(12/08/2010) I’m guessing this is either a MB/GPW body or a DJ body.  It has seriously funky front and rear bumpers. The way the front bumper connects is also a little odd.  Price isn’t bad though.

“VIN: CJ2A168524.  5 SPEED, 4X4, V8 AND RUNS WELL BUT HAS TWO CONCERNS: NEEDS BRAKES, AND HAS A SLIGHT ANTIFREEZE LEAK. THIS IS OUR COST ON THIS UNIT AS IT WAS A TRADE IN.  FOR MORE PICTURES CLICK HERE: http://www.ronjohnsonauto.com/WILLYSJEEP.html .”

1951 Stainless Jeep Studio City, Ca **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $55,000.

(03/10/2010) “This rare find — a completely handmade, completely stainless steel Jeep — was commissioned in the Philippines in 1981 and custom built by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. It was later purchased by a well-known national television news correspondent, who then had this one of a kind Jeep shipped back to Los Angeles. It has never been driven. With less than 10 miles on the odometer, this classic style “Eisenhower” Jeep is a vintage car collector’s dream. The exterior is like new; it’s been protected in a fully-covered, temperature-controlled garage since its trip to the United States. To our knowledge this is the only Jeep of its kind in the U.S. The brushed-exterior is in supreme condition. The engine is a rebuilt 1953 Willy’s V-8 that needs only minor service. Complete vehicle sold as is.”

Some Interesting Getty Images

I happened upon some Getty Images, so thought I’d do a search on Getty’s website.  They have some cool images, though a variety I have seen in other places.  Note that some of the descriptions and/or dates aren’t quite right.  For example, the “date created” for the Willys MA image below is Jan 1, 1941.  However, the Willys MA wasn’t delivered until April of 1941.

Click here to see all the Getty Images with the Search Term of “Willys”

1.  This is a Willys MA

2. Here’s another Willys MA

3. Here are snow skiers in  France

4. This is a color image from the D-day Preperations in England.

Getty Image #106893455 — High angle view of American troops and Ford GPWs (light utility vehicles very similar to Willys MB, both of which are commonly refered to as jeeps) aboard an unidentified landing craft, England, early June, 1944.

5. A Rare Farm Jeep Photo (note the hood and windshield are inscribed with Jeep rather than Willys).  This original photo is of the CJ-2 X26, identified by Fred Coldwell on page 165 of his book PreProduction Civilian Jeeps. He notes that for advertising purposes, a 2nd version of this photo was created, with the grille of the CJ-2 airbrushed to look like a standard CJ-2A grille (the mb grille and brush guard are wiped away).
