Gerald found this great old cartoon. I always thought jeeps had minds of their own …
Tips & Tricks: Bon Ami Windshield Cleaner
Frank provided this tip, “I’ve worked in Chevy dealers since 1971 and they used to carry Windshield Cleaner, Bon Ami cleaning powder part # 1050011. It was mainly used for windshields that had oily or greasy film on them from wax or what have you. It works very well (I’ve used it myself) just follow the instructions.
It may still be available at GM dealers. I still have a box at home and the seal on top reads ‘same formula as Bon Ami cake’. Now you would think that Bon Ami cleaner available today would be the same since there are no bleaches or chemicals listed in the ingredients. But the container reads ‘do not use on windows, glass or mirrors.’ Very puzzling….”

1968 CJ-6 Pleasant View, TN **SOLD**

Here’s a very nice CJ-6 with some updates.
“I’m selling my 1968 Jeep CJ-6 I purchased in 1997 in Colorado. This jeep has been garage stored and had a 90% restoration before I purchased it. Jeep runs good. Inline six with weber carb. Dana 44 in rear with ARB Locker and Dana 30 in front with Detroit Locker. Jeep has custom dual tanks and bars for roll cage. Also has a Bestop soft top I purchased for $600. I purchased this jeep for $6500 and letting it go for $5200. A CJ-6 is similar to a CJ-5 but 18 inches longer in the middle, nearly the same wheelbase as the CJ-8 Scrambler.

Some old desert dogs on the front and old terras on the rear. The rims with the terras look pretty good. Given those additions, I wonder if the drive train was upgraded with anything like posi.

1963 CJ-5 Mt. Pleasant, MI **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250
There’s some value in the parts.
“I bought this from an acquaintance who needed the money. It would make a cool project, but not for me. I’m from the west where this kind of rust means the vehicle is long gone. Since moving here I’ve heard people describe this condition as “restorable” or “just a lot of surface rust”. Yeah, except both sides of each surface have rusted to form holes. It ran as of a year ago when I parked it here in the weeds, but while taking pictures I noticed the carb has been uncovered all year. It has push button start, and sounded like it was running on 3 of 4 cylinders when it ran. Plenty of blue smoke to entertain the neighbors with.
Before too long it will get hauled to the salvage yard, it’s worth $250 in steel to me, hence the price. But I’d rather see it go to someone who’ll use it or at least parts of it. I have a clear title from 1989. Brake line is missing, carb leaks fuel. It might be handy for some extra parts though, the grill and hood are decent, and there’s an extra grill included. It also has the PTO drive included. I have no idea if it’s complete, I just know I have a small steel pan with gears in it that bolts to the underside to run a PTO. I also have the original Willys tailgate, which would make a better garage decor than a tailgate because of rust. But it looks cool. The tires in the back are from my Ranger, they are about the same size as the Jeep’s and in better condition, they’ll go with the Jeep also.”

“Runs great, all original, great collectors item, nice condition, DONT PASS UP THIS DEAL, GOING FAST HURRY CALL FOR MORE DETAILS!”
1946 CJ-2A Joseph, Or **SOLD**
(Apr 4, 2009) My first inclination is that this is an M-38 body due to the cutouts on the passenger side. However, there’s no opening for the gas tank on the driver’s side. So, I’m gonna guess this might be an aftermarket body replacement. There are interesting shutoff valves on the rubber tubing that feeds water towards the heater core. Not sure what they are for. There was an Overdrive with this, but maybe it was sold?
“1946 Willys CJ-2A, Buick V-6, 4-speed, Dana 18 transfer case, power steering, soft top and doors, heater, newer seats front and rear, newer fuel tank, chrome rims with 31 inch all terrains. $3000 or trade.

Year? DJ-3A Homer City, PA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is listed as a 1949 CJ-2A, but this appears to be a DJ-3A (note the dash and the front bumper for starters). The VIN number is particularly strange, as it looks like it has two different type of numbers. Note how the 2nd set of numbers is very light and of a different font than the first set of numbers. Something seems amiss to me.
