Listed as a 1964, I suspect the seller meant 1946, as it looks to be a VEC (though the seller listed the year wrong twice).

(05/20/20) Doesn’t run at the moment, but will run if fluids added, at which point the price also increases ….

“(If I do put fluids in it and test drive it price will increase dramatically as it’s a driving project at that point)
MOTOR DOES RUN WELL! This is a real WW2 Willys MB. It is titled as a 46 Jeep. It is a project. It has a ford 200ci Straight 6 that starts and is turn key, but I have not driven it yet. It needs brakes redone and new tires first before being driveable. (Will include some used 31 inch tires) I’ve removed all the old 6v wiring and have it striped for you to start running your own. I was going to start chopping it all up to make a ratrod, but I figured I would give somebody the chance too bring it back to life before hand. I am open to cash offers, bring a trailer and come give it a good home.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,750.
(09/08/2020) Nice looking 3A. Lacks a hood gutter, but that’s a trivial detail.
“Fully restored and family owned since 1960. Painted Luzon red with black canvas top (military style folding top) & interior. Converted to 12V electrics with dual turn signals and brake lamps. Original engine, transmission, and transfer case/running gear. Never wrecked. New body (original windshield frame & grille), wheels, tires (military NDT). Overdrive transmission, electric wipers and period correct military hemp tow rope. New front axle shafts. 200 miles since restoration. No expense spared in restoration, every nut/bolt/seal etc replaced.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/17/2020) Sits on a Suzuki chassis and appears to have a replacement tub, so not much 2A left.

“1946 Willys CJ2A project. Built on Suzuki Samurai chassis. Chevy 350 with T90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. All have been resealed, trans and transfer were rebuilt. Set up to be a fun cruiser and off roader, not a serious rock crawler. Body, chassis, wheels, Powertrain all painted. Zero rust, always stored in garage. No wiring, no seats.”
A half-cab tow-equipped CJ-2A at Bauman’s Service Station appears in two different photos on eBay. Both pics show the #4 on the doors.
The last photo shows a CJ-3A with the #9 painted onto the side. “DORR & SECOR” was painted on all the Bauman vehicles.
This article about an older woman named “MA” appeared in the August 08, 1944, issue of the Austin American. I just thought it was a neat story only tangentially related to jeeps.
And, in a big detour here, the author mentions the “Friend’s” ambulance unit, suggesting that most or all of the unit were Quakers. My grandmother grew up a Quaker in Hopewell, Virginia, where the Branson clan (her maiden name) were longtime Quakers, first arriving in Frederick County, Virginia, in 1776 (in NJ before that).
The family attended the Hopewell Friends Meeting House (where my grandmother and non-Quaker grandfather would marry in 1939). Abolitionists, the family’s “Branson House” was part of the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, the family found themselves serving food to one side or the other, depending on who had control of the area. Based on the stories, both sides took what they wanted and demanded to be fed.
One family story from the War describes the day a cannon ball blasted through the house unexpectedly.
Another tale tells how a Union spy traveling with the Confederates, as a Confederate Officer, left a gold dollar under a plate after he ate. The family found the dollar when cleaning up after the soldiers had left. They only learned the officer was a spy following the war, because years later he returned and explained what he’d done during the war and that it was he who had left the golden dollar under the plate. As of the late 1980s, according to my great aunt in a letter to my sister, someone in the Branson clan was reported to still have that gold dollar.
Given the front and rear PTO winches, the engine (just parts value alone), and the spare tire carrier, there seems to be value here.

“This is a 196?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
Scott spotted this engine for sale. It seems a good price, but I don’t follow this market too closely. This combined with the Overland Diesel kit makes a good setup.
“I have a good running 4 cyl kubota IDI diesel engine. Spins freely, works well. About 3500 hrs. Was my back up skid steer engine. Did a full overhaul on my old engine. No longer need this. This motor does run.”

“This Willys Jeep was a frame-off restoration project I did about 5 years ago with the intent of doing some vintage trail rides. every single thing you can possibly think of was replaced and or rebuilt on this. From bumper to bumper. engine, transmission, transfer case, Body, fuel system, breaks, wiring, starter, generator, radiator, even down to the seat cushions….. EVERYTHING was done …. I took it on one ride and it’s been around the property hauling firewood about five times. Aside from that it’s just sat beside the barn …. anyone who’s worked on old cars knows I’m not lying when I say I have much more invested in it then I’m asking. There’s still a few cosmetic odds and ends to do but other tan that this jeep is ready to go.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/28/2020) Unclear how serious the seller is. Listed as a 1942, it looks more like a CJ-2A.

While looking for something else, I was pleasantly surprised with this video of Bruce Agan’s former 1964 DJ-3A Surrey. The video was posted in 2012, prior to his passing. He was the guru of Surreys and Galas for a time and his restoration (including all the interior fabric) is a testament to that fact. There are various photos of his Surrey, Surrey advertising, and other jeeps on Flickr.
Brian spotted this photo showing 4 Bantam BRC-60s rolling down a hill. This was posted to the Butlers Standard Eight Facebook Group. The text on the photo reads: “Bantam BRC 40s” Four of the 70 prototypes produced between September 1940 and December 1940. Despite what the text indicates, we know those as Bantam BRC-60s, not 40s.
UPDATE: Bruce Agan assembled these clips of DJ-3A scenes from the movie, “When the Girls Take Over”.
===========================
Original Post May 10, 2018:
Maury spotted this rare poster for the movie “When the Girls Takeover“. The full movie is on Youtube and the jeep appears in multiple scenes.
“THIS AUCTION IS FOR ONE Original Vintage 1962 MOVIE POSTER FOR THE MOVIE “WHEN THE GIRLS TAKE OVER”.
THE POSTER IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE COLORS ARE GOOD AND CLEAR BUT THE WHITE BACKGROUND HAS SLIGHT DISCOLOR DUE TO ITS AGE. THE EDGES SHOW SLIGHT WEAR BUT WILL LOOK GOOD WHEN FRAMED.
THE POSTERS MAIN IMAGE IS OF A WILLYS JEEP “PINK SURRY”!
THE MOVIE FEATURED ROBERT LOWERY, MARVIN MILLER, JACKIE COOGAN, AND JIMMY ELLISON. IT MEASURES 22X28 INCHES.”
Clip from the beginning showing several Surreys in a row.
And the full movie:
UPDATE: Bill shared David Tracy’s updated to this commercial. Apparently, there’s a disagreement on the history of the truck between the former owner and jeep. While an interesting story, I still think it’s a big issue over nothing.

Given there were over 100,000 of them produced, I don’t think crushing one will cause the world to end. There are also plenty of cheap ones available. I found these two on my very first search:
2 for $3000: https://olympic.craigslist.org/cto/d/bremerton-rare-jeep-gladiator/6799254554.html
1 for $1100: https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/d/gig-harbor-1971-jeep-j2000-gladiator/6804750817.html
The actual crushing aside, my problem with the commercial is this: If the point of creating a new Gladiator was to benefit from the nostalgia of the original Gladiator, crushing the life out of an old Gladiator doesn’t do that. Nostalgia should be about reliving happy memories not, literally, crushing old memories.
For fun, here’s an old Jeep Gladiator commercial (the first 30 seconds is an introduction, but the remainder of the video is a commercial or 2 separate commercials):
On a side note, there’s already a Jeep Gladiator Forum ready for the new Gladiator.
