A big thanks to Barney Goodwin (of Barneys Jeep Parts) for sending me this early edition of the Kaiser Willys News. This is issue #3. A couple interesting things about this issue. Perhaps the biggest curiosity is that there isn’t much related to jeeps in this issue, confirming that even by early 1954 there was still a lot of integration still going on. Issue #2, seen in the post below, also didn’t have much information related to jeeps. Volume 4 of the newspaper, which appeared in May (and can be seen below the #2 issue), had a few more jeep specific references.
March 1954 Kaiser Willys News
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. This is a March 1, 1954, issue of Kaiser Willys News (issue #2)
There is some jeep info in the newspaper, but mostly its about the cars.
May 1954 Kaiser Willys Salesman Brochure **SOLD**
This May 1954 issue of Kaiser Willys News is one I only have available in these smaller pics snagged off eBay back in 2013. There is a story about the Yakima ridge runners and the Jeep Rodeo, but it’s too small to read.

The cab will come off the body or they can have that too. $250 for the cab.

“Working good cj3b 4 cylinder hurricane engine, 3 speed transmission, also I have the soft top and doors and clean title”
1946 CJ-2A Harrisonburg, VA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The engine is from Kaiser-Frazer, so isn’t original to the jeep. I believe the disassembled photos are the latest ones.
“”46″ Jeep CJ2A , 1st year available to for civilian purchase. All original parts to re- assemble. Was going to do a frame off restoration but am going a different way. Comes with a top, doors, and plow. Has the original supersonic 4 cylinder motor. Currently sitting in my garage out of the weather. Would be a good restoration or an opportunity to add an SMC motor to make an off road vehicle. Do not have a title so I would supply a bill of sale to acquire one.”
Sears Hardtop Sykesville, MD **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Seller believes this was a CJ-5 hardtop at one point, but I don’t see any mods that would indicate that.
“I have a Willy’s jeep hardtop for sale. The top bolts to any flat fender jeep with a MB/GPW windshield frame. (Excluding CJ 3B) The top started off as a early aluminum CJ5 top. it has been highly modified to fit the early Jeeps.”
Various Parts Lisbon, OH
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/22/2020) Seller has a variety of parts, including fiberglass parts.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/126989508668701/
“Various Jeep Willys parts, frames, slide over fiberglass bodies, titles, motors. Sell all or pieces. Tired of looking at them. Make offer.”
1946 CJ-2A Willow Park, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Not sure what all work this needs to run and drive.
“1946 Willys. Project vehicle ready for you to finish. Has been sitting for 6 six years.”
1956 FC-150 Nokesville, VA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Thanks to Tom for sharing this.
“I have a mid 1950’s jeep fc150 4×4 for sale. I have had this thing listed a few times now but did alittle bit more work too it.. the engine turns over great, it’s a 3speed. It does not run right now. It needs a new ignition wire & few other things. I’m not sure on mileage either ! The jeep has rust in the floors, & the common places. I bought this with the intention on restoring it for my business but I do not have the time at all & would love too see it go to a better home. No trades, cash only, no title”

1955 Willys 4-Wheel Drive Fire Truck Brochure
I got a great deal on this hard-to-find Fire Truck brochure on eBay last week. This is form W-240-5.
1955 M-38A1 & Trailer Ellensburg, WA $4500
This creative trailer looks to be the rears of two early CJ-5 tubs welder together, both with tailgates at both the front and back, capped with a Koenig hardtop, plus some additional customization. Looks like it does the job.

1950 CJ-V35U TwentyNine Palms, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $3000.
(03/23/2020) The rims appear to have little paddles added to them (stock?)?
“This is a project Jeep. It’s a rare Marine Corps radio Jeep. It’s been modified. It has a Buick V-6 225, 160 HP engine. It has a vintage Warren electric winch mounted to a heavy duty bumper, oversize tires on deep dish rims and an after market removable cab.

2 CJ-2As Binghamton, NY $1200
Could be worth a look.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/252334706163654/
“2 projects both have a tag but no papers green one is a mb chassis no engine the tub is fiberglass in decent shape bonded to a cj2a cowl I have good fiberglass fenders for it and good hood no windshield .. the blue one is a 47 cj2a no engine if your interested come look .. I will post more pics soon .. I will not trade and I’m firm on my price for both if that’s 2 much find one somewhere else. If you ask me any questions I’ve already answered in the above post I will assume you are not qualified to restore a 73 year old vehicle and you will be ignored. I do not need to sell I’m just realizing I have to many projects and would like to move south and can’t take them all”
1952 Austin Champ San Jose, CA $2000
Maybe it has some parts value.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/786898508470675/
“Awesome piece of history, 80% of the parts are there. Missing the rear end. Has the 4 cylinder original Rolls Royce engine fully intact. Great find for someone looking to restore one of these. It is a lien sale and will come with paperwork. Located near the San Jose Airport”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1250.
No engine.
“No motor. Has title. Transmission and transfer case are not locked up”
1942 MB Montrose, CA $20,000
UPDATE: Still Available
The serial number is listed as #GPA8424, which is strange given it does not look like a GPA nor a GPW. However, the dash plate indicates the serial number is 198360, which puts it as a very late 1942 MB.

“A mountain of a man sat to my left, a cheerful grin spread across his face and both of his ‘bear paws’ gripped the steering wheel as we drove though a misty beach town. Bundled up from head to toe and wrapped in 1000 blankets, my siblings and I loved this special time with our Grandpa.
