“Some parts have had a lot of body work/paint done- fender, grill, hood and windshield frame! Not all are pictured as they’re wrapped to protect! Looking for 2500 or best offer! All pieces are there but it doesn’t turn over at the moment. Need more room for other car projects! Ran about 13 years ago but haven’t driven since”
It’s project, but it’s got some character.

Tom spotted this former fire jeep. It listed last November here, but since then has undergone some updates.

“This rare 1971 Jeep CJ-6 was purchased new and owned by a volunteer fire station. The mileage is not a typo…these are actual miles. It has the desirable Dauntless Odd-Fire 225 V-6 engine, T14 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case, along with the “unicorn” offset flanged Dana 44 rear axle used only in ’70 1/2-71 CJs. It also has a working Ramsey DC-9 8000-lb. winch (similar to a Warn 8270), which was installed new as a factory Jeep option (I can include some electronic documentation from Ramsey with the purchase).
The paint is all-original, so what you see is what you get (no hidden bondo/bodywork). It’s very solid for it’s age, with the exception of the rear cargo area. The fire station installed a water tank in the rear on top of a rubber mat. Over time, this rusted the floor underneath. The interim owner after the fire department installed a plywood rear floor section, fiberglassed it in, and then used bed liner in the cab. It presents decently, but I’d replace it with steel panels from Classic Enterprises were I keeping the Jeep. The front floor pans, hat channels, and passenger tool compartment floor are all very solid.
The list of *NEW* parts is long…new BDS 2 1/2″ suspension (springs/shocks) are great for the 31″ x 10.5″ tire size (Kelly Safari tires are in excellent condition); fresh alignment after the suspension install. New aluminized exhaust from the manifold back (with better ground clearance than OEM), including a new Borla stainless steel muffler. Full tune-up, including a professionally-rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, points, and condenser. New rear wheel cylinders. New Bestop Tigertop. New spare tire carrier for the passenger side (not yet installed). A new Walck’s/Kaiser Willys front bumper replaced the extended fire station bumper (horrible approach angle, and HEAVY).
It runs nicely, and drives straight down the road; drives nicely, at least for a 52-year-old Jeep with manual steering & brakes. The 3.73 axle gearing allows for nice road cruising speeds vs. many of the lower-geared vintage Jeeps. There are still some minor wrap-up things to address…turn signals and wipers don’t yet work, and I’ve never tried the heater. I’d probably replace the fuel tank, as well (I almost installed a fuel cell, but didn’t want to lose the interior space). A new 19-gallon RCI fuel cell and Motobilt fuel cell mount is potentially negotiable with the deal.
This Jeep is a survivor, and turns a LOT of heads. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid example of a rarer Jeep CJ model still sporting original body/paint, and has less original miles than most of the population puts on a vehicle in a 6-month timeframe. We have owned several rare/unique Jeeps, and this one ranks right up there!”

Recently I got a great price on 30+ Willys World news letters from 1974-1985. There were a few interesting nuggets in several issues.
One the cover of the March-April 1982 issue appears this Willys-Overland photo, taken February 2, 1950. The pic shows what W-O called a “Herman Panel Delivery Van”. The model-name itself is curious, as Willys had referred to the earlier (and later) versions of this van as a Package, Economy, or Delivery Van.
Herman was a van-body manufacturer, as this brochure shows. Note the dual windows on the door. This is similar to what the company designed for Willys-Overland.
My guess is the Herman Panel Delivery van was a prototype. For some reason, it appears it was never a production model. However, Willys-Overland did work with the Boyertown and Montpelier companies to create a similar version in the late 1950s.
MONTPELIER DELIVERY TRUCK ARTICLE:
UPDATE: Here’s is a postcard from White Springs (data unknown) that highlights the jeep-train-wagons. It appears the train was still being pulled by a 3B, but this color photo shows some black styling was added to the cow, giving it a Holstein look.

In fact, it’s so cool, that I managed to skip over the part where he said he became a grandpa! It wasn’t until I re-read it tonight that I felt like a total doof.”
This photo comes from the March 1957 issue of Willys News. The jeep wagon train operated at the Stephen Foster State Folk Culture Center – White Springs, Florida.
Floridamemory.com has a variety of photos related to the wagons. Below are a few of them.

I’ve not documented a Willys-Overland postcard promoting its Planadyne suspension.
I just bought this postcard. It was mis-listed under “Jeeping on the San Juan Islands, Washington”. Now, Mt. Moran is a pretty good sized mountain (for the San Juan Islands), but pales in comparison to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, where this photo was obviously taken. This is a 4×6 card and I’m hoping I can identify which tour jeep the is once I get the card. Given the red cage and red bar up the center, I’m leaning towards this being mine.
These toys are being sold by Carl, but I “think” someone is helping him sell them. It could be an in home care person. They are all “make offer”. You can contact the seller at 765 418 5751. He will ship for $12.00 (he says that if the shipping value is over that, he will pay the extra).
It’s unclear why this has an image of a jeep puling a boat on it with the phrase Concessionnaire “Jeep” at the bottom. Given the American Motors, I would assume the is post 1970. Douville, St-Hyacinthe is in Quebec, Canada.
Update: **Sold** was $2750.
Mike spotted this deal on four wagons for the right person. Looks like there are lots of parts.

A big thanks to Tom for buying me a Willys Rally shirt while attending the Hueston Woods event, along with a few other swaggy items. He even picked up a set of gardening gloves so Ann wouldn’t feel left out (turns out she needed a set of gloves, so that worked out great!).
It sounds like this year’s Rally was well attended, with more jeeps than ever. Here’s a message from Rick about the event:
“The Willys Jeep Rally for 2023 was a great success. Mike Mee did a splendid job of overseeing the event. Barb and Bill Marshal were well organized and had plenty of help so they could enjoy the show.
Mary Kindburg prepared a delicious picnic on Friday evening with pulled pork and turkey sandwiches and loads of fruits and vegetables. Both trail rides had large numbers, and nobody broke down!
There were more Jeeps than ever involved in the demonstrations, and we even had a plow champion who showed the boys how a professional does the job. All the demonstrations had larger attendances than ever.
The weather all weekend was gorgeous with high heat but low humidity. We had about 10 vendors with the Jeepster Man joining us with large donations of gift certificates and merchandise. The banquet food was delicious as usual. Barney’s presentation was a story of his journey from his first Jeep to where he stands now. I think everyone could share in some of Barney’s insights and memories.
We are already planning for the 2024 Willys Jeep Rally. Hope to see everyone at Hueston Woods next year.”
Andy shared these ads. One is for a General Electric 200 Amp Arc Welder brochure and the other is for the Universal Jeep. Both appear to be from 1945.
