(04/09/09) Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s a paint job or paint peeling.  The seller says this is a ’46, but the grille and body look more like they are an MB/GPW.  so, the actual year of this vehicle might be earlier.

Bantam BRC-40 Columbus, Oh eBay

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Thanks to Jim sending the link on this.  Obviously, this is a rare event.

“1941 Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC-40).  Restored – starts, run, drives great.  The vehicle was originally purchased  and restored by a pretty well known figure in the Bantam Auto Club circle sometime in the late 80’s/early 90’s.  I have a one page letter from this person detailing his efforts to obtain and restore the vehicle (which I will give to the buyer).   It passed through a few owners until my purchase in 2001.  Over the years I have upgraded/corrected various pieces and parts.  It comes with a few spare parts, manuals, and a top.

The vehicle is 99%+ complete and accurate.  The body tub is original – ie. not a reproduction like many others out there.  The items that I believe are incorrect (or missing) are:

The choke and throttle knobs are the not the early “bulls-eye” type – although I have what I believe to be one correct replacement.

The oil pan does not have a skid plate – although I have a correct, original oil pan with skid plate that needs to be cleaned up and attached.

The rear tool box lid locks are incorrect.

The reflectors are of the King-Bee type (as used on the FORD GP) and I believe should in fact be Triflex SR-71s.

When I purchased the vehicle, it had a reproduction windshield frame.  It was a pretty accurate copy, but a reproduction nonetheless.  I sold it to another BRC-40 owner and acquired an original frame a few years back.  It needs some work (arms straightened, etc and needs the latches to the cowl when in its upright position), but it’s in pretty nice condition.  In fact, it has most of its original paint.

The front bumper is an OK reproduction, but I acquired a much better replacement from Ken Hake which has the correct rivets and hand crank guide.

Lastly, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not sure the front leaf springs are correct/original.  They may be correct, but again, I am not 100% sure. Lastly she needs a good bath – she has sat in my barn with my other vehicles for the past nine years and has collected a coating of dust and dirt.  It was near freezing when I took the photos – I put a new battery in her and she started right up.  Lastly, after sitting for nearly nine years, the brakes are a bit mushy.  I’ll see if I can rectify this prior to sale (no promises).”

(05/25/09) This is a great looking M-38.  Lots of nice, simple details.

“This one of a kind M38 is a must see. Hours have been spent creating this fun yet functional ride. This is a 1951 Willy’s M38 Flat Fender (Korean War Era) that has been fully restored to street driveable. Engine: V6 Buick 235ci (1977 Olds Starfire). Chrome Edelbrock valve covers,

I don’t see too much rust on this.  It might be a good price.

“Willys Wagon four wheel drive. All original, 67K miles, interior complete and in good shape, dash not chopped up, 226-6 flat head runs good, just changed oil and replaced fuel pump. 4WD , twin stick transfer case works good, lock outs work good. Body is in okay shape, has “Willys Rust” . Extra complete motor and misc. parts, service manual included. Good clear title. I bought it as a project earlier this year and started to work out the bugs. Got it running and driving pretty good just needs a little more TLC. Enthusiasts preferred, I want to see the Willys go to someone who can keep it alive.”

1947 Truck (4wd) Jamestown, RI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  Well, Steve couldn’t stand the thought of someone not restoring this truck, so he bought it and has offered to provide updates to ewillys readers as he restores it.  Best of luck Steve!

A reader named Steve examined this Truck today.  It’s got a Dump O Matic Hydraulic Dump Bed. Steve felt this was more work than he was looking for, but thought it would be great ‘for the right Willys Addict’. Thanks Steve!

Steve reports, “This was the first year for the pickup with only 2,346 4WD models built. The bed has a fair amount of body rot, but could be repaired or replaced.  The cab is original and mostly complete.  It’s not dented or molested.  The engine is seized (but included to keep matching numbers) and the seat bottom and headliner are missing.  A replacement engine is included that came from a military generator that was religiously maintained and ran on propane.  The tires are dry rotted, but the frame looks good.”

Here’s the Craigslist AD:

“1947 Jeep pick-up. 4 wheel drive. Dump O Matic pick up bed. Truck is in fair condition for an unrestored truck of this age. This is a restoration project.There is rust but cab and floor are in good condition.Truck has 42000 miles. Last time on road was 1987. For more information call David at 401-465-9490”

“First of all please note my stellar feedback so you can bid with confidence. I expect the buyer to be the same. Out of my collection is this very original 1946 CJ-2A Willys with matching civilian 1946 TC-3B Bantam trailer. This Willys is a frame off restoration. It is refinished in the original and correct color of Harvest Green. It has the correct original running gear: 134-L Go Devil engine, T-90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. This Willys would do well in any show and is turn key ready. Best of all, you can drive it anywhere.  The reserve is set MUCH less than comparable vehicles on the market and this INCLUDES the Bantam trailer. Odometer shows 47,290. I don’t know if this is actual or not. The following are all new or professionally rebuilt. Look at the pic’s…”

The Ensign 100

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

Here’s an interesting, rare offroad vehicle built specifically for Mining.  I first discovered it at Hemmings and then ran across a detailed story about it at OEMOffHighway.com.  I couldn’t find any more pics or information about them.

From OEMOffHighway.com, “The Ensign 100 was rated at 1.5 tons and was built around a frame made from 2x4x0.25 in. steel tubing, on to which a body fabricated from 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8 in. plate steel was welded. The standard power plant was Ford’s 52 hp, four-cylinder 192D diesel industrial engine, although Deutz or Perkins could also be ordered.”

1948 CJ-2A Lexington, Sc **sold for $4500**

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

The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep.  This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic.   This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500.  I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.

“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A.  I am located in Lexington, SC.  This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948.  I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title.  My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007.  The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”

1950 4×4 Wagon Clear Lake, Tx **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $7000.

(12/15/09) While approximately 90% stock, the seller gives a detailed review of what’s not original about this Wagon.

“It is a 4X4-63 model which was manufactured from January 1950 until March of 1950. It has a conventional ladder-type frame, and features independent front suspension utilizing control arms and a single traverse leaf spring. A three-speed Warner Model TY-96 transmission is used with synchromesh on the top two gears, and a Borg Warner overdrive. It is powered by a 4 cylinder L-head cast iron block and cylinder head engine producing 60 horsepower at 4000 rpm. It is a true 4×4 and has a Spicer fully floating front axle and a semi-floating Spicer rear axle and a Spicer Model 18 transfer case with a 2.42:1 low and 1.0:1 high range and locking front hubs. The shift lever is floor mounted. Front and rear suspension is semi elliptical leaf springs. This was a Texas Hill Country car and has zero rust on the body, frame or floor boards. The only rust is in the hinge area of the tail gate and to be show quality it would need to be repaired, however the tail gate is fully functional and opens and closes very easily:

Ninety percent of the vehicle is bone stock, however the previous owner made the following modifications several years ago.
•Added wood panels to exterior and interior of vehicle to create a “tin woody”. Exterior panels have aged and need to be replaced or recoated. Interior panels are in nice condition. The exterior panels are easily removable (just a few screws) and the body could also be painted to look like a woody as well.
•To establish clean woody exterior, the gas filler tube was relocated to interior of back compartment.
•Original flat front grill replaced with a 1954 V-Grill with cross bars.
•Seats were removed and modern bucket front seats were installed. Original style seats are easily available.
•Vacuum windshield wipers replaced with new electric wipers.
•Electric horn installed.
•Emergency brake installed
•Car converted from 6 volt to 12 volt and three new 12 volt gauges added under dash. (Original gauges are still in place however they operate off 6 volts so they have been disconnected.)
•Engine completely rebuilt. Installed new main bearings, polished crankshaft and replaced seals.
•New starter installed
•Custom made exhaust and new muffler.
•Transfer case seals replaced.”
