Here’s a tube frame flat fender project I ran across today. There’s lots of pics. The project is in progress, so i hope to see some additional pics soon. It appears the builder (name of Jesse?) is building a rock crawler of some kind.
1942 MB Parker, AZ **SOLD**
There’s been several mods to this vehicle. Note that the front tires are a little farther forward then they should be. Also, this is a 2wd vehicle. it appears to have a home-made tailgate? (see other pic)

WWI Four Wheel Drive Star — Nash Quad
It was one of those days where I was searching for one thing and found another: The Nash Quad Truck (the truck to the right is a 1919 Nash Quad, Owned by Bruce and Melanie Rice #8880). These are 4wD with four wheel steering. (see the video below to see a quad and its steering in action)
It turns out, these were a big hit during World War I. In the Story of the Jeep, Patrick Foster writes that the Quad ” … dramatically proved it’s worth … and proved the value of four wheel drive …”
Here’s a brief history from the Pioneer Flight Museum:
“The Nash Quad was first manufactured in 1914 by the Thomas B. Jeffrey Company, which was located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It became quite popular during World War I and was used by the armed forces of not only the United States, but also Russia, France and Britain. One of the first motor vehicles to offer four-wheel drive, the Quad proved very suitable to the rough, unpaved roads of the time. In 1916, Jeffrey sold the production rights to the Nash company. Because of its popularity, it was produced in large numbers, including license production by Hudson, National, and Paige-Detroit. Exact numbers aren’t known, but apparently over 11,000 were produced in 1918 alone.“
Here’s a video of a Nash Quad being started and driven:
1943 MB Wenatchee, Wa $5200
The paint job on this is pretty unusual. It looks like a tile mosaic. The top is in poor condition.
“Body, running equipment, and engine all excellent. Interior and top need work. Has a tow bar to pull it with and you will need a light bar for rear if going very far. If you want to drive it away bring top post battery.”
1964 M151 Enterprise, AL **SOLD**
This was a Vietnam Vet’s vehicle and has been in dry storage for 25 years.
“1964 M-151 Military Jeep. Selling this 1964 military M-151 Mutt Jeep , It has the full canvas top with sides and extra wheels and parts.

1964 M151 Butte County, CA **SOLD**
This looks in very good shape for the price.
“This is an ex-military Jeep made by Kaiser. It was stationed at Ford Ord military base in central California during Vietnam. This was called a Fast Attack Vehicle used by all the armed forces. This one was an ARMY Jeep. The original odometer still works and shows 15,000 miles. It is 4 wheel drive like most Jeeps but these have full independent suspension with A-arms instead of leaf springs. Many things have been replaced with original parts. The only thing I had left to do was install the headlight switch assembly. Thats why I say it’s about 95% restored. It runs and drives good.”
1945 MB Gilroy, CA **SOLD**
Here’s a good price on a complete, good looking MB.
“FOR SALE – 1945Willys Jeep: This is an older depot restoration with back lights and a tire rack that is not original. This jeep has newer canvas on the seats and working electrical system.

1953 CJ-3A Foxboro, Ma $1500
It’s only $1500, it runs and sounds pretty stock. Might be a good value.

1961 Mighty Mite West Hartford, Ct $8000
Here’s a rarely seen vehicle. Though rare, the price still seems a bit high given the condition.
“Selling my 1961 Jeep Mighty Mite M422-A1. Extremely rare vehicle that is awaiting restoration. This is not a Jeep Willys or other military vehicle. Most people have never even heard of this truck let alone seen one. Search yahoo or google for a complete history of this exceptional vehicles history. Here are some pics of my truck on the trailer and one image of a fully restored Mighty Mite for reference: ”
Before there were jeeps, there was still Willys-Overland
Before there were jeeps, drivers had to amuse themselves with vehicles somehow. Before there was Willys Overland there was just Overland. In 1907, wondering where 500 cars he ordered were, John North Willys found himself having to ask friends to inject cash into Overland after he discovered he wouldn’t get his cars if he didn’t (the company would have gone bankrupt). So, in 1920 you have an Overland (maybe the 1918 Overland 90 Touring model) made by Willys Overland, what can you do with it if you don’t have four wheel drive?
You jump it of course! On September 5, 1920, the driver below, Henry Alegria, a Basque Pioneer in Idaho, drove this four cylinder Overland touring car over an 18 foot gap between two ramps. I’m assuming he survived the jump. It looks pretty crazy, given the driver probably had no seat belt. I found the photo in a book by Arthur A. Hart called Life in Old Boise that someone gave me recently. The book has some great pics, which are more enjoyable if you know Boise, Idaho, at all.
1945 GPW Lake County, CA **SOLD**
It sounds like this is a bit of a project. Includes a trailer.
“here is a vary rare 45 ford army jeep and trailer and has been used for mostly hunting and camping from summer to summer and has been in my family since new.im sellen it for my great aunt witch is the origianl owner.i have a clean title in hand also is curently not running do to a frozze starter and bad wireing and i need to sell asap.

1951 CJ-3A Roslyn, WA **SOLD**
This might not be a bad price. It’s worth a look if the body is in as good of shape as advertised. For Northern Exposure fans, Roslyn, Wa, was the real setting for the fictional city of Cicely, Alaska. (Here’s some filming locations)
“This jeep has been used summers at our cabin in Roslyn, put in covered storage in winters. Has newer F head 4 cylinder, rebuilt rearend and brakes, rewired, new battery, tow bar, bikini top, original skinny rims and weathered tires. Runs well, easy to drive, 4 wheel drive shifts and works perfect. Over all good shape, but not perfect by any means, no body rust through at all, some minor cosmetic body rust on the side but that is all. Worked perfect for us going to the beach, exploring gravel roads etc, a ton of fun for the money. Jeep is in Roslyn, can be arranged to be seen most weekends, could be brought to the West side for the right buyer and a deposit.”
Willys MBT 1/4 ton trailer Milwaukie, Or $450
This is pretty rough, but it’s one of the lower priced trailers I’ve seen. I don’t know a lot about these.
“WWII military trailer built to be towed behind the Willys MB or Ford GPW jeeps. This one is just like a Bantam T3, but I believe it was built by Willys. It tows nicely, but the lights aren’t hooked up right now. The floor is pretty bad, but most are after over 60 years of our weather. It has a 2″ ball coupler and does have a tailgate.”
1951 CJ-3A Willow Valley, Az $3000
UPDATE: The price on this was $1500 a few days ago, but now the price has doubled to $3000. More pictures provided as well.
“This is a 1951 Willys jeep in pretty good shape would like to sell or trade for a harley.This has a 350 small block and huals a$$. Lots of power no rust pretty straight body great off road toy.Also has a winch .Good tires 928-768-7184 ”
1952 M-38 Birmingham, Al **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. Has a replacement body.
The seller lists two different prices for this M-38. Strangely, the dashboard looks like a M-38, but there are no passenger side cutouts and no battery cowl lid.
“1952 Willis Jeep. Runs good and has a sound body. All gears are good. Enclosure included (soft top and sides). Removable back seat, gun rack, and tow bar. The vinyl seats are cracked, as is the windshield. This Jeep was restored before I bought it and has locking hubs and wide tires. (I have two of the original tires and rims.) I have owned it for 10+ years and used it for hunting, playing, etc. It is kept in a shelter. Due to infrequent use, I am willing to part with it. $5000 Cash OBO”
1947 CJ-2A Canada eBay
It seems the seller has owned this for 35 years, but doesn’t really know anything about it. The seller has this listed as a CJ-3B and wasn’t aware that the back of the jeep wasn’t original. It’s certainly an interesting rebuild. The seller apparently had this sold, but the buyer backed out, so the seller has relisted it.
1950 CJ-3A Muskego, IL $900
This CJ-3A has a pretty crazy tailpipe. It might have some value, especially if it has an overdrive.
“1949? Jeep Willys overland cj3a, was running and driving last fall, parked for winter and the starter doesn’t engage and the brake pedel froze up. Will need complete restoration but has original seats with covers, a rare aftermarket hardtop from the 50’s, meyer plow blade with western hydraulics( one hydraulic cylinder is bad) and original equipment hydraulic engine driven plow pump. In Muskego Wi 53150 must sell soon–no title it was bought at a government surplus auction many years ago”
Sand Jeep Timber, Or Make Offer
Not much info. The body doesn’t look like it’s been modified too much.
“Sand Jeep, 2WD, SB Chevy, 9″ Ford, turbo 350 auto. Make offer.”
Various Flat Fender Parts Wenatchee, Wa
This ad has been posted since April 2; I just discovered it. There’s a ‘complete’ jeep without a frame.
“I am looking at moving and have numerous old 1940’s jeep parts and trasfercases and other parts that I am clearing out in hopes of making more room. Will not sell for nothing since these things are getting harder to find. I even have a 1940′ flat fender that just needs a frame all else is pretty much there and in good shape $1200. All other parts depend on condition and how hard to find.”
1962 FC-170 El Paso, TX **SOLD**
It’s missing some parts.
“Rare 1962 Jeep FC 170 with snow plow attachment. No engine or tranny. Most people put in chevy V8’s and automatic transmissions in these anyway. I have owned this for many years but never got the chance to restore and modify the way I would like to. My loss is your gain. Just try and find another one for this price. $500 or trade for a good .357 pistol or ??”
