Saving A CJ-5 from a field

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, Features, Women & Jeeps • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

One day a while back I got an email from a new reader named Jan. She spotted a CJ-5 sitting in a field for $500 and had a question about the VIN# and the model.  We solved the VIN question and then I learned more about how Jan acquired this Jeep.

Jan wrote, “I really didn’t buy it, just offered to get it off his farm. He had a sign on it for $500.00 or best offer. All my friends are laughing at me and indicating it’s the uglist thing they ever saw…… but I fell in love with it!”

After bartering for the Jeep, Jan managed to sell the plow locally, which meant she was actually up a few hundred dollars.  However, the body was so bad she knew she had to replace it, so she located a fiberglass tub for cheap in Indiana.  She has also found a local mechanic that verified the frame was in good condition and the engine should restore easily.  So, hopefully, next spring Jan will be driving around in a “free” jeep.  Congrats Jan!

Here’s is the jeep with the top removed.

And here is the ‘new’ fiberglass body

“Don’t laugh. This is a great parts Jeep.

1952 M-38 Columbus, Ms $3200

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This appears pretty stock.  I don’t know much about the electric Braden Winch.

“This M38 has quite a storied past. It is a great Jeep in excellent restorable condition. Other than two small spots behind the passenger seat, it’s rust free. Even the tool box is sound. The Jeep runs. It has a period correct Braden electric winch. The Jeep was delivered March/52, I don’t don’t know when the winch showed up, but it’s been there a while. This is a good sound Jeep, unusual for around here. It’s best to give me a call and lets talk about it. Mechanically it will need a complete going through, but the body work is going to be minimal since there’s no patch panels of any kind needed. Jeep is located in Columbus, MS I will not separate the winch from the Jeep. 85zero – 59six – 300four”

1946 CJ-2A Long Beach, Ca eBay

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

I love the old school paint job.

“Up for auction is 1946 Willy’s CJ2A #64464. Many years in previous family and believed to be originally purchased in California. Barn storage or desert life much of vehicle’s existence and what little rust around steps came from outside storge last few years not far from southern California beach.

I purchased this 2A as a project to do with my son as I soon planned to start work on my original one owner California ’48 CJ2A(red one in couple of pictures) and was not far from my house. I believe it to have most of it’s original Harvest Tan paint in tact and to be 95% rust free. This 2a underwent a very well done 283 Chevy V8 engine swap in the 60’s that included 11″ brake upgrade and GM steering. The fire wall has been moved rearward 4″ with nice metalwork. Sold with bill of sale. Vehicle does not have windshield, seats or engine. Have seen some restored and complete rolling chassis on ebay as late so maybe a great restorable body can be of help to someone.”
