Buried under Snow in Colorado

I’m sure the February temperatures that have blown into this month Boise are the ones that are rippling across the US.  Jim shared with us the effects of storms at his place, along with a note that it dropped to -15 last night …. brrrrr.  Jim, I’m assuming you’ve put that new/old snow plow you got to work?

Jim wrote, “Not a single bit of anything on the ground 2 days ago, then we got slammed! Its gonna be a white Christmas around here for sure!”

1942 MB Baton Rouge, La eBay + Trailer

• CATEGORIES: MB, trailer • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It looks good.

“I am selling this rig only because of seriously failing health. I bought it nearly three years ago so I could fiddle with it and drive it as a hobby. It gets a lot of attention wherever it goes.I can still drive it but can no longer work on it. The previous owner was a mid seventies retired MP who had restored three Willys MB’s. This 1942 was his third and he said it was time to let it go. I liked it so much I had it shipped in a covered trailer all the way from Ruffsdale, PA to Baton Rouge, LA. I was an MP myself in the mid 60’s so I had a lot of Jeep time in the M151 but always wanted a WWII version. It and the trailer have been garaged before and since my acquisition. The Jeep speaks for itself. It’s in really good condition. It was not cleaned up in any fashion prior to the pictures being taken. Didn’t even wash it. I didn’t “shiny” anything up under the hood to try to put a fresh look on it…..

The trailer is a rare Bantam. One source has it as a very early post war where the first two hundred were produced with a military style seamed axle, combat wheels, and were painted olive drab. This trailer fits. The Bantam letters on the data plate are block rather than Italic placing it wartime or immediate post war. It also has the heavy three position shoe and thick lunette for the military pintle hitch, chains and hooks. It’s also got blackout lights. Go figure ….”

Year? CJ-2A Chico, Ca $2000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Something strange is going on .. this jeep is listed below for $2000 in Chico.  On eBay it is listed for a single bid of $5500.

This looks a good price on a CJ-2A.  This is listed as a ’43, but I see nothing to indicate that this is anything other than a CJ-2A.

“Turn key ready to go. Overdrive works great. Transfer case smooth and easy. Converted 12 volt system. Immaculate seats and back seats. L4-134 purrs like a kitten.
*Less than 7500 miles on rebuilt original L4-134 (four cylinder) engine  *A rebuilt carburetor  *All steering components are either new or rebuilt  *New speedometer and cable  *A new radiator  *A new master cylinder  *New windshield and rubber  *original four speed transmission and overdrive  *Two speed heater  *New floor pans  *Canvas soft top  *Upholstery and tires in good condition  * AM radio, C.B. ready  *Tow bar and trailer hitch  *Epuipped for hunting with rear mounted deer deck  *Interior lights, lights under hood and back up lights  *Gas, amp and water temperature gauges  *Two locking tool boxes mounted inside the jeep  *Two five gallon powder coated gas cans mounted on the rear with locks  *The jeep comes with more that $500.00 worth of spare miscellaneous parts  *11″ brakes not installed, but still in the box  *PTO  *The jeep is in excellent condition and has been hightly maintained and serviced on a regular basis.  Only addition I put on are knew front hubs. We are not using it. This jeep needs a great home. The only flaw is that hood could use new paint. There are a couple of paint chips. Machanically it is in great condition. For more info you can call or text me at (530) 906-2229 my name is Scott”

1943 MB Elizabeth, CO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: MB • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“Willys Jeep – 1943 MB Jeep in excellent condition.  Restored several years ago in Arizona and has been garage kept except when used for hunting, which has been minimal. Jeep has no visible holes or rust.  It’s in need of a good wash job and detail.  Used only three times in the last four years and it’s time it goes to a new home. Engine is 4 cylinder, 3 speed transmission, 4X4.  Watson, manual lock out front hubs, Viking Winch with electric remote control, new battery, brake shoes replaced by brake shop – less than 100 miles ago.  Has a tow bar, leather seats, a small bikini top, couple of gun holders, and a pair of 5 gallons gas cans and holders on the rear end, next to the spare tire. Mileage,31496, is what shows on the speedometer, don’t have a clue if iit’s accurate.

I bought the jeep from my father in law who is the one who restored the jeep 35-40 years ago. It was restored in Arizona and has only been in Colorado for the past 4 years, but is always garaged. Runs great, starts easy.  I don’t know of anything not working on the jeep.  It just sets around and isn’t getting used so it’s time for it to move on.  Transportation, will be up to the new owner.  Payment will need to be made in full prior to title exchange and transportation.”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Phoenicia, Ny **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

(10/22/09) There’s something growing out of the driver’s side fender  …..  This seller is selling about 5 other jeeps (CJ-5s) on ebay as well.

“1946 Willys cj-2a column shift jeep. No engine is installed, just the original transmission and rest of drivetrain. Unfortunately, no serial number plates have been left on this jeep. Many very good parts like the hood, grill and fenders. Complete column shift linkage and working transmission is also present. Frame is very good, except for one of the front horns where some metal was welded on to reinforce one side. Looks like it should be removable with frame remaining intact. Snowplow lift is bolted on. The body has rust in the front floors and on the side bottoms. Body can be restored with repairs in the front floor area and the right rear corner. Rear area is pretty good and amazingly not dented up.”
