“1949 cj-3a for parts, engine stuck, tub is rough. Rolls fine NO TITLE 1000$ obo”
This six-page January 1959 issue of Jeep News is only six pages.
Page one shares dealer news, as does much of page two. Page two (and page six) also has a ‘history’ of the jeep, which at that point was only eighteen or nineteen years old, depending on the start date of 1941 or 1940. Page three devotes a whole page to Jarvis Jeep out of Portland, Oregon. An article on page four tells the story of an FC-170, with an unusual bed, that was used as part of a Christmas tree business. Page seven has a story about an FC-170 out of Hutchinson, Kansas, with a variety of extras. Page eight covers the newly formed Tulare County Four-Wheel Drive Club.
UPDATE: Colin estimates 1949 on this brochure, figuring there were new forges installed for some 1950 products.
I won this odd ball item as part of a 3-item auction where nobody else bidded! This twenty-eight-page Willys-Overland Forge booklet provides some background and highlights about the company’s forging process. My guess, based on the last page, is that Willys-Overland was attempting to find corporate customers that needed parts or other items forged, suggesting that the forge may not have been running at full capacity making jeep parts. There’s no date on this, but my guess is that this was produced around 1950.
This is a second card sent by Chris. There’s no date on it, but given the Surrey top looks in good shape, I’d guess mid to late 1960s. The Tides Motel, still at the same location, sits in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. I suspect the jeep is no longer there …
Chris sent this postcard with a Christmas letter. It shows one of the motor pools and Camp Landing. The postcard describes Army life as “busy” and “never a dull moment”. At the end, the author Bob asks how deer hunting was. It’s dated December 8, 1943. Many thanks Chris!
This looks like a good price.

“1949 cj3a. Chevy 350 (38,000 miles) Turbo 400 transmiss Runs and drives”
UPDATE: As far as I know, this was last listed in 2014.
(04/12/2013) It reminds me of the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour wagons.
“Willys 2 door wagon converted to Surry. 4cyl. F engine 4×4 converted to12v. 3 speed overdrive new tires needs nothing. Also comes with rear enclosure for back that matches top. Very fun always garaged. Price is O.B.O. will accept best cash offer. if its posted its for sake no b.s. no tirekickers”
This CJ-5 has been rebuild with a fiberglass body and tilt hood.

“First time here. I have a CJ5 1960 that is “fresh”. Fiberglass tub and also front clip. So many new parts but everything is new.
Tires, brakes (including nickel lines, Wheel cylinders, Shoes, Stainless flex lines and master cylinder), All Glass, Both seats, Steering wheel, USB Speedometer, plastic 16 gal fuel cell, LED headlights, One wire Alternator, New Carb, New Distributor, new Aluminum radiator, All electrical ( my own DYI), Soft doors on the half cab( I tried), Rough Rider Springs and Shocks (2 1/2 lift). Adorable Half Cab. It has a Satin Red wrap and metal rear corners. This was a “winter project” and I just kept buying new pieces. I am not professional and more of a DYI with a love for cars. It has a “sticky” clutch that seems to work when it wants to. The engine is stock except for the carb, distributor, alternator and radiator. I drove it 60 miles yesterday home from the barn it has been in since finished.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This has a 2A body, so the date and model may be incorrect. The wagon/truck/jeepster front clip fits pretty well.

The body has the usual passenger side – tool box rust.

“1947 Cj2a. Runs and drives but does smoke. No brakes. Body is a bit rough. A few new parts such as fuel pump, fuel tank, carburetor, distributor, etc. NO TITLE. Will consider trades for a good running 4×4 ATV.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

(05/19/2023) RJ is helping sell this customized CJ-2A. Note the engine and dash updates. It also has a convenient flip-down spare tire carrier in the back.

“1947 CJ2a Willy’s Overland Jeep. $5,000 OBO.
Has a 1988 Buick/Olds 3.8 V6 fuel injected engine that was swapped out with a V6 from a 1988 Cutlass Ciera, along with the power steering, steering wheel and possibly the seats. The odometer states approx. 13k miles, but that is NOT accurate. Exact mileage is unknow.
It is connected to a 700R4 automatic tranny and the original transfer case, which appears to have dull shifter sticks, along with the factory Dana 18. It will run but not very well, forward and reverse gears working.
Power brakes and power steering. Stock axles with mile marker hubs. Newer slot mag style wheels, 30-9.50r15 tires that are starting to weather check. Fuel tank and filter were replaced last year.
The body work is starting to show its age but the tub isn’t terrible underneath. A few bubble spots, clear coat fading and paint damage on hood from a tarp. The bondo is about 5/10 on the Rathbone scale. Fenders have been customized as well as the tailgate, it has CJ7 style hinges and latch. Besttop tiger top has a few winters left in it, windows are starting to fog. Custom seats, carpet kit, back seat, radio console, gauge cluster and roll bar inside. Located in Pocatello, ID”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
This looks solid. It’s got a bench seat in the front (as far as bench seats go in a jeep, it looks somewhat practical).

“1953 Cj3a. This little jeep is ready to go. Runs, drives, and stops great. Been on many a trips around town. All lights and gauges work as does the high and low range 4×4.

Unclear how much value is here. The passenger side has a couple large patches.

(09/21/2023) Runs and drives. This has a unique cargo carrier(?) on the hood. The driver’s drain hole looks filled.
“1947 Willys Cj2a. Quite a few new parts, for some reason it wouldn’t let me post them all. You can drive it home. Pm me for list and accessories! New, starter solenoid, fuel pump, carburetor, battery, gas tank, seat frames and cushions, tire chains, jack, etc.”
This 2A has a ‘Lefty’ body, though it appears in poor condition. The ad does not mention if the body in the background goes with it.

“Small block Chevy 305 conversion project with automatic th350 and new novak adapter to bolt on to rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case! Jeepster front and rearends with disc brakes lots of spare parts! I do have title!”
At twelve pages, the November 1958 Jeep News is one of the largest issues published.
Page one contains various dealer info stories. Page two discusses the growth of jeep clubs and their potential as unofficial ‘salesmen’ for the product and brand. Also on page two is a discussion of the jeep-name origin. You’ll note the appearance in that discussion of the term “G P”, which I’ve yet to see definitive proof to if being used prior to the introduction of the Ford GP in early 1941. Bill Norris was able to locate a blurb, possibly from May of 1942, that suggests the letters “G P” that “appeared on all orders for the specifically made car”, however it’s not clear which orders such letters appeared on or when they appeared. But, it’s an avenue worth exploring.
Page three highlights dealer news, while page four shares how popular jeep exhibits had become at local and state fairs. Page five covers the importance of lighting to jeep dealerships, while page six and seven announce that dealerships have penetrated areas all over the US, though none of the dealerships shown are west of Oklahoma (still 1300 miles to LA from OK). Page eight and nine are again mostly dealer news, though page nine does cover a druggists satisfaction with the new DJ-3A dispatcher.
Pages ten and eleven have a wide variety of stories, but I thought the custom DJ-3A “The Goody Cart” ice cream jeep on page ten was particularly interesting. Page twelve covers a story about some jeepers capturing California horse rustlers.
I would think that this could go quickly.

This modified sedan delivery is “Goin’ Bananas”.
“1949 Jeep Willys, it runs and I have title in hand. Great project car. Selling as is. Currently has a 1987 Chevy S-10 blazer motor installed.”
Seller is convinced this is a 1945, but to me the serial number of 13345 indicates it is an early 1946.

“This is a custom trail jeep sitting on 36″ super swampers. Not currently running but will turn over with a new battery. Was owned by my father and came into my possession after his passing. After some years I am ready to sell and make room in my garage”
I thought this build looked interesting. Wish there were more pics. No description provided.
At least one combo includes a WARN OD.
