1949 Jeepster Ventura, Ca eBay

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

UPDATE:  There’s been some discussion about the engine not being stock on the ebay ad.  The stock inline 6 would have been an L 166 ‘lightning’ from what i have read.  However, the engine looks so nice in there, I don’t think it matters that it isn’t original.

Here’s a beautiful car that comes with a matching coffee mug.

“This is a very nice Jeepster that has just completed a very thorough cosmetic restoration to high standards. It was totally rust free having been in southern California all its life. Last year the owner brought me a coffee mug from a café in San Diego and he told me “Restore my Jeepster to match this mug. I love the color!” I think we succeeded.

The Jeepster body was disassembled down to the body tub which was left on the chassis as the floors were perfect. Body work was performed as required and the beautiful green paint was applied, color sanded and polished. It is stunning. Fenders were painted off the car to get a nice finish under the hood. The black second color was done the same way. We repainted the interior and dash as well.

The rare factory original OHV six cylinder engine was cleaned and painted having been previously rebuilt and in great running condition. This is a much more desirable engine than the four which is most Jeepsters. The transmission is a three speed with overdrive. Brakes were recently redone and work great. Tires are recent and are Coker white walls with a newer spare to match. Exhaust is great. Shocks are all new and the front suspension was totally rebuilt.

The top and side curtains are all brand new in a tan color that offsets the green and black to perfection. Top frame was repainted. The seats are older but in great shape and are black to match the trim. Steering wheel is new reproduction ….”

1961 CJ-5 Staten Island, Ny $1000

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This has an unusual story.  This was damaged in 1962 and never run again.  It has 1,231 original miles.

“For Sale: 1961 willys CJ5.  Has 1,231 original miles. It was hit in the rear in 1962 and never used again. The previous owner removed the damaged rear quarter, wheel well, back floor pan and tail gate and purchased OEM body parts, but never reassembled it. The Jeep has been stored inside since 1962. I have what appears to be the entire vehicle awaiting reassembly. The transmission and transfer case were opened by the original owner and are missing some parts along with having rust inside.

Although it has been hit and needs to be reassembled, it has no heavy rust or rust-through, only surface rust. The engine and axels are in tact and the chassis rolls.
You can view additional pictures via the following link. http://s888.photobucket.com/albums/ac82/Scott273/1961%20CJ5/ I am asking $1,000. You can e-mail me or call me between 7:00am and 9:00pm, 718-344-7152.”

A WC52

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

UPDATE:  I deleted the 2nd truck I had listed, as Bill correctly pointed out that it wasn’t a WC51 at all.

I’m helping someone value this WC52 WWII Dodge Truck.  I’m pretty sure the WC52 runs (only just over 10,000 were made).

Here is a pic.  If anyone can provide some feedback to me, just email me privately (d@ewillys.com).

Bill Mauldin Stamp

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Randy forwarded me an announcement that Bill Mauldin has been honored with a stamp, shown below.

According to the email Randy sent me, “Mauldin, and his work,  meant much to the millions of Americans who fought in World War II, and  to those who had waited for them to come home. He was a kid cartoonist for  Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper; Mauldin’s drawings of his muddy,  exhausted, whisker-stubbled infantrymen Willie and Joe were the voice of  truth about what it was like on the front lines.”

Click on this link to see the Mauldin Cartoons I gathered from the web with jeeps in them for a previous post.

Here is a pic of the stamp, followed by Mauldin in a jeep.
