UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This appears solid. I don’t see front hubs, so I wonder if this is 2wd?

(04/30/2012) There appears to be potential here. It runs and drives, too. Not too far from me.

(07/19/2011) The windshield makes it look like the jeep is going fast just sitting still.

(09/19/2010) I can’t see much from the pic.

Updates Sat morning.
Jerry spotted this at the scale4x4rc.org forums.
According to the Denver Public Library’s Digital Archives, this photo “Shows pontoon bridge over the River Po. Two Tenth Mountain Division soldiers drive a jeep loaded with boxes. Four more loaded jeeps drive through a cut in an embankment. Twelve soldiers sit nearby or stand ready to work near the bridge. Italian citizens and more soldiers sit at the top of the cut and watch the passing convoy. Many of the Italians have bicycles with them.”

Gary forwarded these updates on his CJ-5. See an earlier post about his jeep here.
“I first want to say the NP435 transmission was a challenge but it was worth the work. It shifts very well. I like the extra low first gear and reverse. In one of the pictures you can see the transmission cover with cup holders I made. I took and modified an electrical box and covered it with spray on bed liner then, I used the same boot that I had on my T90.
I decided to go back with stock manifold on my exhaust. Lawrence uses a good method instead of using a Y-pipe he uses a dual flow muffler with two inlets and one outlet. I am much happier with this. It puts all the fumes out the back and is a lot quieter. I will send you a picture of the build Lawrence is working on which shows this application. After looking at his, I took my Jeep to the same muffler shop and ordered a duplicate.
The master cylinder reservoir works nice as well, you can see it on the driver side in one of the pictures.
I added a detachable Reece brand tow bar, the brackets are on the front bumper.
I am finished working on it until cold weather comes again. I have some axles out of a parts Jeep that have 3.73 gears. That will be my next project.”
Below is the exhaust system Lawrence has installed on his jeep.
This runs and drives.
“1953 Willys wagon with original motor rebuilt. Starts runs and drives nicely. Does not smoke. Good power for 4 Cylinder. Original 3 speed manual with Dana 18 transfer case. Four wheel drive works fine in both high and low range. New master cylinder. Horn and windshield wipers do not work. Tires hold air but are old so would need a new set. Very little rust. It has been repaired over the rear wheel arches and the front floors have been overlain with steel. Yes, that is real duct tape on the seats—accept no substitutes!!!! This is a good everyday driver as is or would be an easy restore. Comes with a set of original 16 inch rims. Clear title in my name. $2000. Call 406-544-1638 or 549-5943”
