1955 CJ-3B Kemp, Tx $500

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

There looks like $500 worth of value here.  The seller has provided links to a variety of pics.

“Great project. Bought it with high hopes but realized I don’t have the time for it right now. The body is straight Has not run for years looks like it needs new wiring and a good tear down, clean up, and reassembly. . Stop by and take a look, and see for your self, instead of asking questions, sometimes pictures seem to lie.  $500 and she is yours. Email for questions, and 214-755-2904 for directions to see her.”

The body looks to be in great shape based on the one tiny pic.

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

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $300

This appears to be a good price.

“I have a Ramsey PTO Winch that came off of a 60’s Willys CJ-5. Its in good shape and all parts are there: winch, control box that bolts to transfer case, fairlead, and the driveshaft. The labels are hard to see in the pictures: The one on the control box says – PT1-J;The one on the winch says – Model # 1200-R (I think), Capacity 8000lb, and the Serial # (hard to make out).  Looking to get $300 dollars for it”

1952/1971 CJ-3B/CJ-5, Co $2500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If wiring the lights is all that’s left, then this might be a pretty good price. The body appears to be a replacement body, so it’s likely in very good shape.

1947 Stainless Flattie Oakland, TN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“This is a very rare WWII 1947 Willys. I put jeep in the title for locating purposes only. IT IS NOT A JEEP MANUFACTURED VEHICLE. It is a 1947 WWII willys, with original engine and drivetrain. The body was hand built by skilled craftsmen in 1974 in the philippine islands. It has a complete stainless steel body. The engine was rebuilt about 3-4 years ago by an ASE certified mechanic. It runs and drives like new and has no problems that I am aware of. It has been used mostly in shrine parades and ridding the grandchildren around on the farm. It has been stored in a climate controlled shop most of its life. It naturally has no rust anywhere on it. The tires are very old and do have signs of dry rot, but have excellent tread and if not going on a long trip, should be fine for several more years. I have heard that several were built in the 70’s, but I wouldn’t think that very many are still around. The vehicle comes with a full enclosure and as far as I can tell all the snaps and attachments are in good working order. The vehicle has never been wrecked or disassembled whatsoever. The miles showing on the speedometer are true and correct. There are no dents that I have seen at all. There are some very lite wear scratches in the stainless body from getting in and out or wiping dust off without the proper cloth. Again these are very lite and would probably not be noticed, but I did want to mention them.”

From Long Haul Truck to Hot Rod

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

So, you have an extra $100,000 and 3000 hours.  What do you with yourself?  Randy Grubb decided he’d build a Hot Rod out of a long haul truck.  Popular Science magazine highlights Randy’s efforts.  Though it has nothing to do with jeeps, I thought it was worth mentioning.

What I really liked was the before and after pics.  In the before pic, you can see how he arranged the parts so he could visualize what he was building.  Any of us who have done projects like this where there aren’t specific instructions/directions can relate.  I can’t tell you how many times I put on and took off the jeep body to make sure it fit in the right spot, not too far forward, not too far back, not to high, was it straight — then stand back and ponder and take a few pics and adjust and ponder …. details, details, details.  It’s all part of the fun :-).

Despite it’s fun design,  this wasn’t just some show vehicle.  When Randy was finished, he drag raced it at 100 mph.  Now that’s a HOT Rod!

I’ve included the before pic (taken by Randy’s wife).  You can see the after pic result and read all about the transformation at Popsci.com.
