Wagon Question …

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

Robin had a question about  a wagon he just bought.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to research it at the moment, so I’ll throw it out to you all.

Robin writes, ” just purchased a 1957 Station Wagon that, from the pictures on Craigs List, appeared to be a Parkway conversion. Upon further inspection I am totally confused. It has the rear doors of a delivery wagon that appear to be factory. The windows however, are not flush but recessed and the wheel wells are squared instead of rounded. The history, according to the seller, was:

1. sold to US Forest Service
2. 12 years ago sold to a fella in Moab, UT.
3.  The gentleman I purchased it from got it three years ago and used it as a “daily driver” for two years. It sat for one year when they decided to sell it.

To make a long story short; did they make station wagons with the “delivery” doors?   Some more pics here:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/alturusphoto/sets/72157629855658998/

1946 CJ-2A Basalt, Co **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay

“This 4WD Willy’s Jeep runs and drives and has a clear Colorado title. It was purchased by the present owner in Colorado in the late 1970’s. The vehicle is located in Basalt, CO and is advertised locally for sale. The Jeep is original except for electrical 6 to 12 Volt conversion, hydraulic brakes and repainted. The original 4 cylinder engine runs and has been started annually just about every year during the 34 years it has been garaged. The Jeep was driven out of the garage a couple of months ago for taking a series of photos. While in storage, the owner drove the Jeep about once a year, mostly around town. The engine runs good and the Jeep is drivable. It is comfortable at 40 MPH although it will go 45 MPH. These speeds are typical for older Jeeps and should be anticipated by the new owner. The seals will need replacing due to the lack of use and a long period in storage. The vehicle has seen less than 100 miles of off road four (4) wheeling in the last 34 years.  The Jeep has some minor surface rust in small areas that could easily be repaired. The original speedometer was replaced and shows 2114 miles since the early 1980’s. The actual mileage is unknown. Around the same time the speedometer was replaced, the cylinder head was also machined and the head gasket replaced. A new gas tank was installed in 2011 to keep the fuel filter from clogging due to aged and varnished gas in the old tank . . .”

1946 CJ-2A Potosi, Mo **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was on eBay.

(05/23/2012) This looks solid.  I’d take a close look at the paint.

“Here is an 1946 Willys CJ2A.  It is 4×4 and it runs and drives good.  The lights work and it has a new paint job, new seats, new tires, new brakes and new glass.  It does have a later model 4cyl flathead motor out of a jeepster.  The jeep also has factory PTO and also a 3 pt.  I have not messed with the 3 pt. on the back and don’t know alot about it.  The jeep does not have a title.  They certainly don’t make them like this anymore and they’re had to find with the factory PTO and 3pt.  Also, let me know if you would like to see pictures of anything specific and I will try my best to get them for you.”
