1951 CJ-3A Brush Prairie, WA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

I’m wondering if this was a DJ-3A body. The “side stripes” are right at the location where the large opening bodies had their slant. Factory T-86? Lacks an engine.

“Solid rust free body and frame. No engine, but it does have the original factory T-86 3-speed transmission and transfer case. This was running a small block Chevy until it was removed earlier this year for another project. Included with the sale is a set of sbc headers and the motor mount plate so that a sbc could be dropped in and bolted right up. This Jeep was a runner up until this year, so it won’t take much other than a motor to have this up and driving. I have the title in hand and it’s clean, clear and in my name.”

Patterson Working For His Keep … Mower Fixed

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I finally got the Tractor flywheel to release. The key was sheered. Got a key, reassembled, and Mom is mowing the lawn!

IMG_5533

We made a quick run up to Seattle yesterday to fix my parents lawn mower and mow the lawn with our mower. To work on the mower, I needed to pull it out of the barn and get it to the garage. My options for moving the John Deere L110 were limited. After considering my options, I decided to enlist Patterson to pull the mower.

It turned out that the mower wasn’t easy to pull up hill, especially when my mother had her foot on the brake. I suggested she jump off the mower. Once she did that, it was much easier to pull, though without low range and only 2WD, it was still a bit of a challenge.  Still Patterson persevered. Eventually, we got it in the garage. … who said a DJ-3A isn’t a real jeep?!!??

The mower is proving to be a challenge. It looks like the key has sheered between the flywheel and the crankshaft, keeping the flywheel from releasing off the shaft . I have a good puller and it is still be stubborn.

Anyway, that kept me busy last night, so just a couple updates today.

1961 CJ-5 Boston, MA **SOLD**

Tim spotted this one. Looks promising.

1961-cj5-boston-ma

“A 1961 Jeep CJ5 with Warn Overdrive. This jeep has 68,000 original miles. With the exception of the tires and new suspension, the Jeep is all original as factory shipped. It is in very good condition, very reliable, and very gently used. Vehicle was acquired 20 years ago from a PA estate sale.

The original body has been patched. The frame is solid. The body under carriage has surface rust, and was patched, as to be expected for a 57 year old vehicle, but is very solid for its age. The body was repainted to match the original color (sky blue). The paint is in good condition, but certainly not show quality.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.

Mike shared this project. Is that chalk on the body?

“I bought this truck last summer hoping to make it my project truck but living in the city and not having a shop I bit off much more than I can chew. Now looking to sell it and get some of my money back on it. I think it would make an awesome restore project but someone that has the time and expertise. The guy I bought it from told me that the motor would turn over and it’s not locked up. I haven’t personally crank it though. It did have oil in it. I started to break down some of the parts planning to sand them and clean them up a bit but I still have everything you see in the pictures except the seats. They were pretty far gone.
Make me an offer.”

/dealer/jeep/unspecified/2038992.html?refer=news#&gid=1&pid=6

2004-jeep-wrangler-surrey-sandy-ut

” This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Surrey very nice customization has brought this Jeep to look as though it came straight from the ’60s, displaying many of the signature themes seen on the original Surreys. The base for this re-creation is a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that is equipped with the much loved inline six-cylinder engine, an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The exterior has been finished in a light shade of blue with matching wheels and whitewall tires. The interior is finished with blue and white striped upholstery, blue door panels, blue dashboard; and a blue and white steering wheel. The Jeep is tailored with a rollbar, removable side curtains, a striped fringed top and a rear-mounted spare tire with a striped cover.

Along with the many aesthetic customizations, this Jeep has power steering, power brakes, air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. The re-creation completed here has been executed very well and complements the original Surrey Jeep design. This Jeep, with its modern drivetrain, presents itself as a perfect candidate for being used at a resort or used for a weekend adventure. Henry Kaiser bought Willis-Overland in 1953, and then went to live at a hotel that he owned in Hawaii. As a part of the hotel, he owned a car rental business that offered Surrey Jeeps as a cheap runabout vehicle that were used around the resorts. In 1959, a Gala edition, with striped upholstery and fringed top, was added to the export line; intended for resort areas like Hawaii, the Caribbean and Mexico. Later that year it was marketed domestically as the Surrey.”
