Bob forwarded me a pic of a CJ-2A from the Malabar Farm Historic Landmark in the Ohio State Park System for the museum series.
Bob wrote, “Here’s a shot of the Jeep they have down at Malabar Farm near Mansfield, Ohio. Every Sept there is a small gathering of Jeeps there. Louis Bromfield, the property’s former owner, had several Jeeps on the farm during his lifetime. He used them to get around the farm, along with his dog, to supervise farm operations. As a side note, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were married in the main house on the farm on May 21, 1945.”
I’ve had it street legal for the past couple years and almost always drove it around with the wind shield down and never gotten stopped. It runs good and 4 wheel drive works, I put a new clutch in that I would guess has less then 100 miles on it. BAD NEWS: Last year The rear differential went out and locked up the tires… so will need too be trailered home. It will need a new ring and pinion, brand new they run around 200$ or if you find another dana 44 someplace for less you could just swap out the hole rear axle and be on your way… I’m asking 1000.00 Call or text anytime. If I don’t answer leave a message. Will consider all trades, could use camera gear or auto shop tools …”
