1943 Bantam Trailer Lodi, Ca **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was listed at $2000

Dexter is listing his trailer for sale.  He has lots of pictures of it.

“I bought this gem months ago. It is unrestored, unmolested and in IMMACULATE original condition. Must see to believe. When I bought it, there was a thin coat of civvy paint, which came right off with repeated wipes of a wet rag. Under that is a coat of OD, which looks like it was put on 30+ years ago, and then the original OD. The shiny parts that you see are the areas where I applied some linseed oil.

The Good
– Original, unmolested, no-rust, solid body
– Original fenders (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original data plate
– Original lunette
– Original 3-hole swivel
– Original leg
– Original chains, hooks, and wedges
– Original drawbar
– Original handbrake (works great)
– Original drain plug
– Original BO switch (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original reflectors (faded side reflectors came from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original 1963 California black plate with PTI sticker
– Current DMV registration to my name
The not-so-good
– M38 rims
– Original 3-hole swivel is broken (I still have it, and it’s fixable. Currently on the trailer is a solid T3C leg, with a solid 2-hole swivel. It matches the paint of the trailer perfectly.)
– Original fenders were modified and are no longer with the trailer (As noted above, I’m including a set of original fenders from a 1943 Bantam. Layers of civvy paint just needs to be removed)
– Some remnants of the original wiring
– Additional holes added on rear crossmember due to bumperettes being installed
– One tail light bracket is not original
– No original tail lights
– One tiny hole on the front-driver-side corner”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.

“1947 WIllys CJ2A for fun project or parts. Bought as is a year ago and just can’t get to it. Great project for someone with the time. If you are looking for something to make stock again… This ain’t it!
1977 ford 4-cylinder motor
Aftermarket overdrive installed
No seats, no glass in windshield. Patched and re-welded in multiple area. This is a project car or good for parting out.
Don’t know when it ran last but no gas line connected and wiring needs reworking before you could try.
No title.
Still looks awesome”
