Flamin’ Willys BBQ

Mark from sellajeep.com forwarded a story he posted on his website.  Here’s a short excerpt below.  Drop by his website to read the entire story and see all the pics.

“The wagon was a whole different story. The thing was shot. I parted it out keeping the window trim, regulators, dash, and steering wheel, anything I might need in the future. The title said it was a 49. I couldn’t let it go because along the line I picked up a 47 Willy’s pickup.

The wagon was simply too far gone except that front end. A tree had landed right on the hood. That was the only real issue with the clip. After sitting in my barn with lots of thinking fluid, my friend suggested turning it into a BBQ grill like what they did on that movie “Gone in 60 Seconds”. Remember at the end of the movie, they are grilling in the back of an old car? Anyway, that sealed the deal.”

Bob spotted this unusual project on the web. I had meant to publish it many months ago, but I seem to have forgotten to do that. I only have this one image.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1600.

Jesse is selling a flatbed FC-170.

“This is an original 1961 FC-170, 226 / T-90 / D 18, 3/4 ton Flatbed, it has the overload spring pack, Previous Owner installed a sheet metal floor over the bed.
This truck has been in my shop area, since 2003, it was being daily driven and used for farming, until 1990, in Southern, AZ. I drove it up and off of my trailer, and drove it a little around here. It was popping out of gear, so I had the trans rebuilt, the radiator was leaking, it was repaired. It is not currently running. It is a good starting project, it is not pretty, brushed on house paint and needs some body work and some flat glass. It is fairly complete, it even has a good windshield. The best part is it is inexpensive. $1750.
We needed to use the gantry, so we pulled it out to clean up my shop area.
This is what we are doing on it now, the upright pipes on the bed have been removed from the bed, the drivers floor needed to be repaired, and has been welded in, the back of the bed had rust on it and the side rails, it has been repaired and reinforced.

For more details contact me. M-677jeep@cs.com”

1965 CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Torrance, CA **SOLD**

May 24, 2011 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
0

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

The seller provides a good description of the issues.  The underside could use some cleaning.

“1965 CJ5 – rare Tuxedo Park edition with even rarer bench seat, rear side seat cushions, and three speed on the column (works great – and fun!). Tires in great shape. Body very very good, and unmolested. Interior good. Registered in CA with current tags good til Spring 2012. Everywhere you drive it, people give you the thumbs up. Great summer fun.

I purchased this vehicle on Ebay a few months ago. It was listed by the seller as having 29,000 ORIGINAL miles. That might or might not be accurate. Much of the Jeep (it’s very much in original condition) would lead one to believe that mileage – but it cannot be confirmed, and it is not out of the question that the odometer may have been replaced. The seller (who sold it to me) was either unaware of, or failed to disclose, some issues with the Jeep. It required $2,000+ in repairs after it arrived in CA. I’ve had all the work completed by an expert and certified Jeep mechanic and it runs well now. This Jeep needs an owner with time to love it. I love it, but just don’t have the time. Since I purchased it: Complete brake job front and rear – drums, rotors, wheel cylinders. Carb rebuild. New alternator and voltage regulator. Differential service. Transmission and 4-wheel checked. All fluids replaced. All hoses checked (good). All lights now work – signal, brakes, front and rear lights. Compression is excellent: 125, 130, 125, 130.

NEEDS: Wipers not working (all hoses are in place). Gas gauge half-works (enough to keep you out of trouble). Temp gauge doesn’t seem to work. Heater not working. There’s some rust underneath, as this Jeep is a 1965. The floorpans at the front seats look liked they’ve been replaced. The fender wells are amazingly free of rust. The Jeep is its original color, but there has been some touch-up work done) The dashboard is wonderfully unmolested. There’s only a few holes carefully drilled (between the odometer and the left side of the dash). They appear to have been for a mounting bracket. The body is VERY straight and the Jeep looks great for a 1965. Most Jeeps of this era have been so modified, it’s nearly impossible to find one this original. It drives very straight and true. I’ve had other CJ’s. This one tracks very well – better than most.

I am selling it as is. With my purchase price, transporting it to CA, CA registration and $2100.00+ in repairs, I have a lot into this Jeep, but I don’t have the time to love it. The minimum price set on this Jeep is way below what I have into it. It is a very good deal, now.”
