Took Racer for a Pasture Spin
September 30, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: Leftovers-racer. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Looking out over the pasture, I see lots of green, but don’t see all that much cow shit. So, I didn’t think I’d hit all that many piles racing around it. Welp, those tires found plenty of piles and threw it all over me and the jeep.
This was the first time I ran it in 4WD. That worked flawlessly. As for control and driving, I found the racer felt really balanced and smooth, despite the bumps (the pasture isn’t all that even). The steering is a little stiff, but that feels great when going faster.
It seemed like it was missing a bit as I hit higher RPMs; I couldn’t decide if that was caused by the bumps disrupting the gas flow in the carb or by a timing issue. We’ll figure it out.
At the end of the video I realized that the fan wasn’t working (it turned out to be a loose connection), so I was trying to get Ann to open the gate, but she decided she would film me while pretending to not hear me, lol … she is a merry prankster!

“I have a 1942 Ford JP. Clean title in hand. Not Original Engine. These were made by Ford during WWll and were used in war frequently. This Jeep doesn’t run but it ran when it was parked years ago. Haven’t really tried to start it because there isn’t a battery. It is a 3 speed manual. It has a dual case, and front locking hubs. This Jeep is very very rare, yes it doesn’t run but everything else is there. Body is straight, tires hold air, engine and tranny are there ect…. I won’t respond to “is this still available” not in a hurry to sell, looking for the right deal as this Jeep is very rare and is 81 years old. Number of miles is unknown You will need to bring a trailer”

5 9×16 Rims Beavercreek, OR $250

Maybe someone can use these?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/884726433078458
“Up for sale is a complete set (4 plus your spare) of vintage steel tire rims. Size is approximately 9×16. Standard flat fender jeep brake drums are 9 inch drums with a bolt pattern of 5 X 5.5”. These rims will fit any jeep made from 1941-1960’s. These came off a 1948 CJ2A I restored a few years back. I went back to factory size on that jeep so I had these left over… All 5 rims are in solid condition and will hold air no problems. They have typically type surface rust you would expect to find on a vintage steel rim but they are straight and again, will take new tires with no issues. I sprayed on a coat of black paint a few years ago just for added protection. I’m guessing new owner will blast them down metal and start fresh so I haven’t put any time into them other than a good pressure washing. Rims have been stored inside my shop so they have been out of the weather since I’ve had them. Price is $250.00 bucks firm ($50 each) and not looking to trade. Cash is king. Make note I’m happy to meet up in Oregon city by the high school so you don’t have to make the long drive out to my shop. PM me for any questions or if you want to set up a time to meet. Good solid set of rims that are ready for mounting on your vintage rig. If you are looking for original size rims for your flat fender jeep, let me know as I have dozens available…”

UPDATE: Blaine confirms this was Dan’s car previously. It did not reach the reserve, with bids maxing out at $43,000.
Blaine spotted this 1962 Willys convertible Interlagos, which sits as $23,000 with 3 hours left in the Bring-A-Trailer auction.
You can see pics of this car from the post of our visit with Dan back in 2014: http://www.ewillys.com/2014/04/13/day-24-apr-12th-dans-fcs-and-the-scared-romanian/ . He was pretty sure it was the only convertible Interlagos in the US.

1958? Economy Delivery Brochure and Press Photos
September 28, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: Package-Van. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Over the past couple of days I’ve turn my attention to the disaster that is the ‘jeep’ office. My library of non jeep books and jeep books and jeep toys and other jeep stuff has remained mostly stored for the past two years in this tiny office that’s part of the shop. This is one room that has undergone almost no remodeling … and it shows.
I’ve made some progress (just putting up the books and binders in bookcases has made a difference. One of the side benefits of doing this is finding stuff that I have yet to post, such as the pics and Boyertown Economy Delivery brochure below …
One of the jeep photos appears to have a plate dated 1958, so that’s how I am dating this package.

This photo of Norman’s Amoco gas station and garage in Akron, Ohio, includes three CJ-2As with modified bumpers. However, note the “Norman’s” sign. I think that is a neon sign and I’m wondering if that jeep lit up at night. If so, that would a pretty awesome sign!
Here’s a closeup of the sign:

Wow, this M-676 appears to have the original Navy lettering on the doors! Engine is siezed.
“This old Jeep was a Navy truck. Has a 3 cylinder supercharged diesel engine. The engine is seized it has been sitting awhile. Has been equipped with an over drive on the transfer case. Was bought for parts but it’s too nice to take apart. Does not have a title. These are hard to find. Make an offer.”
1955 CJ-5 Fortville, IN $15,500
September 28, 2023 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Mark shared this ad. Over all, this looks solid. It likely have a replacement body, as it lacks the faux battery box lid. It does have reverse front springs, so the frame may be original. This also has the King Seely 0-10 early speedometer, which only came with CJ-5s. This does lack the PTO bar in the rear. I think to secure the windshield it is using the Advance Adapter latch kit.
