Jason Pall posted a pic to Facebook of some 1960s Jeeper Jamboree dash tags. Even on California jeeps these aren’t seen too often.

1967 Jeepster Convertible Lousiville, KY $28,500
Tom spotted this beautiful Jeepster Convertible for sale. Unfortunately, it does need a top.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/846175236733199
“Listing my 67 Jeepster Convertible for $28,500 OBO. I don’t need to sell it, but I just don’t get to enjoy it as much as I wish so I wanted to check interest and plan to list locally as well. Original condition, just about every option including A/C, mag wheels in amazing condition, I do have a clock w/o base and small trim by the door handles (not in pics). Not original paint, I’ve owned it for 10 years and only have put about 2500 miles on it. 79,650 total. It runs good, it does leak a bit in my garage. Seats are original, small tear in the drivers side. I did add Jeep seatbelts to the rear seat. Body is in good condition, small scrapes, cracks, typical imperfections. Needs top, I have one but it’s old. I was planning to “restore” with new paint and carpet. I don’t see any rust, only starting to see very small bubbles by the tailgate and driver rocker.”

March 1960 Jeep Multi-Stop Truck Brochure
UPDATE: This post was originally posted July 29, 2016:
I finally snagged this “Jeep Multi-Stop Truck” brochure off of eBay. It is only seven pages. There are no details provided about the chassis used, but it does use the F-head.
The date on this proposal is March 1960. The first ad I have for the FJ-3 is in 1961. My guess is that this may have been 1) a competing idea for a cheap delivery vehicle or 2) the basis for what was restyled as the FJ-3. That AM General made a version of the Multi-stop right after jeep’s general and Military product division was spun off (1971) into the AM General Corp likely isn’t a coincidence.
According to some magazines of the day, the FJ was considered a Multi-stop van, so the description was used, though I don’t believe it ever appeared in any advertising. For example, this 1959 article except from Google notes the following, “office requirements for pickup and delivery of mail on multi – stop routes . The Fleetvan ” Jeep ” trucks , equipped with automatic transmissions , will feature compact cargo space , high maneuverability , maximum driver visibility ”
Fall Colors Ride at Tar Hollow State Park
Roger Martin shared some pics from this past weekend’s Fall colors ride at Tar Hollow State Park in Ohio.
It’s a great excuse to enjoy the fall colors with fellow jeepers.
1970s Sears Installation Docs
This documentation came from a friend. It accompanied a Sears Deluxe hardtop, though for some reason it shows the simpler hardtop instructions. Maybe the owner of this document lost the rest of the instructions? Either way, this might be useful to someone.
Year? CJ-5 Sewell, NJ $2800
Andy shared this jeep. It’s got what we believer to be is a Stratton lift control valve, but missing the lift arms. It is labeled as a 1948, but looks to be a CJ-5 chassis (I had thought maybe it was a 2A chassis, but that does not appear to be the case).

1947 CJ-2A Scotts Valley, CA $7800

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/7540742594.html
“I’ve had this Willys far too long and realize how unlikely it is that I’ll ever do the build I envision.
I purchased it in 1990 and dismantled in 1991, after I cooked the rear pinion gear. It’s been kept in a garage/tent in Santa Cruz Co. ever since. It was first placed in CA DMV non-op status in 1994 – I have a clean title in hand.
The contents for sale include all parts for a complete jeep (and then some), including:
– Body tub, fenders, grill, 2 hoods, windshield, tailgate, roll cage, 2 seats

– 2 frames – stock ’47 & ’74 DJ (postal jeep)
– Complete Bestop soft top

The posted price is what I figure the sum of the parts are worth. I’ll entertain offers – just not ridiculous ones.”
