“This Jeep has an engine from a 1953 Jeep, so it is not the original flathead. It runs good but the brakes are not working. The Jeep has spent all but the last few years in north Texas. It has some rust, as you’d expect. I bought it from a friend of mine and he threw in another motor, an engine block, and some other parts. I was planning to work on this, but I’ve not touched it in three years. It needs to go to someone who will give it the attention it needs.
I have the original title and many years of subsequent registration receipts. It’s a great window of history.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
It needs some love.
“Barn Find M151A1 made by Ford. UNCUT, and rolls freely. Tires all hold air. Disconnected fuel, hooked up batteries, and poured fuel in the carb and it fired right up and ran until it ran out of fuel in the carb. didn’t want to run with the the fuel tank hooked up until i get the tank emptied and new fuel put in. All lights work with exception of one headlight. Transmission shifts fine. Comes with original seat cushions, and 2008 manufactured canvas A1 top with the two windows in rear. Has small rust areas as seen in the photos, but a FANTASTIC barn find.”
No pics provided. Pics will require unpacking the jeep from the garage, but, to be fair, I am not sure how a person is supposed to evaluate it without being able to see it?

“Hi, inherited my father’s 1963 CJ3B High Hood Jeep.
It has an honest 70XXX miles on it.
Dad never washed it after taking elk hunting for several years and it was badly rusted.
I got a new body – stamped from the original dies, I think it was made in the Philippines.
I had it professionally mounted and painted in the original baby blue. The shop that did to work did an excellent job of transferring every single little piece over. If you did not know, It looks absolutely original.
I started to fix it up and life changed. It continues to change and I think the smart move is to let it go.
A vehicle is a tough thing to hang onto for sentimental reasons.
It has not been started since about 2004. It’s sitting on flat tires, the seats are totally shot. The top is old but in very good shape.
It is sort of buried in the garage, except I never ever set stuff on it – or even leaned anything against the new ( now well cured from 2004 ish) paint.
If your a serious possible buyer, please let me know. I can help you get it out if we go forward.
Because of how it is in the garage, it would be nearly impossible to get pictures. Don’t ask.
Just reply if you’re seriously interested. Low ball bullshit will be ignored”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
(06/23/2020) Here’s a rare pairing. Somewhere I had an advertisement for Willys marine engines in a Florida newspaper from 1946, but I can’t find that ad at the moment.
“This unit has been in storage for a long time. The pistons are not stuck. Carburetor needs to be freed up and cleaned out. MB 564093 Marine Power Unit. 134 c.i.d.. This is a non running military engine that has been in storage. I see no cracks or breaks in the castings. I separated the engine and gear box so they could be mounted on my engine stands. After removing the oil pan and cylinder head and checking it out, I loosely assembled it just to keep things all together. The generator is a 6 volt, 40 amp. and the starter motor & bendix look good.
The “marine drive” gear box that was mounted on the engine has a multiple disc wet clutch with “knuckle in” engagement and by moving the lever in the other direction knuckles the clutch out, goes into neutral and will begin to apply a band brake as lever movement continues. Box is full of oil and looks good. The universal coupling behind the box is very heavy duty. The engine flywheel is drilled and tapped for a vehicle clutch assembly, but is still yet a clutch virgin. Starter gear shows very, very little wear. I will be happy to open things back up (engine and gear box) with a interested person present.”
Lacks an engine.

“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A street legal.”
This three-part article appeared in the August 1959 issue of Car Life magazine. The first two-page article is a general look at both vehicles. Then, there’s a long review of the Willys Wagon followed by a long review of the Land Rover. I got the sense that the reviewer Mr. Jim Whipple was more impressed with the Land Rover than the wagon. You be the judge….
Willyls Wagon review:
Nice looking 2A.
https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/elbert-1948-cj2a-restored/7158712934.html

Nice looking wagon.

“Here’s the Jeep for a Rubicon Run. Powerful V-6 Buick Motor Conversion, Aluminum Radiator, Electric Fan, Nice Navy Grey Paint, Oversize Cleat Tires, Lifted, Full Canopy Door Top, 2 Extra Gas Tanks, Towbar and Hitch, Road Lite Bar and Much more!! A personal Jeep owned many years by a particular Owner. This is a rare production model built in 1942 by Willys for government issue. Painted in correct Navy Gray, Recently Serviced and needing nothing to drive away!! 4-wheel drive and 3 Speed Manual Transmission original to the vehicle. Vehicle is in Medford, Oregon.“
Very much a project. Pinto is a great engine for a jeep, but in my opinion I’d go with the 2.3 for the extra power.

“53’ Jeep Willy 8 cly. Hasn’t been started in about a year. It used to run fine but now the engine seems to shake a little bit. Interior and exterior in great condition.”
The arrival of the FJ-3s made the newspapers in a variety of states. This first article appeared in the February 02, 1961, issue of the Bridgeport Post out of Connecticut:
This next article appeared in the October 04, 1961, issue of the Owensboro, Kentucky, Messenger and Inquirer.
The Mitchell, South Dakota, Post Office may have only purchased one FJ, but it still made the paper:
Here’s an add for the followup model, the FJ-3A .It appeared in The Lawton Constitution out of Oklahoma on January 07, 1962.
This is the more common version of the FJ-3A ad published across the country:
