The Package Delivery Van Starts its Journey

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

You might remember that we spotted this rare 1948 Willys Overland Package Delivery van a while back.  The buyer decided he had to let it go, so Jesse volunteered to take on the project of restoring it.   To get to Phoenix, the van has made its first stop in Missouri at Craig’s place.

Craig writes, “The 1948 Willys Overland Urban Package Delivery is 430 miles closer to it’s new home in Phoenix, Arizona.  It’s resting at my place in Defiance, Missouri right now before I make the pilgrimage out there to Phoenix and back in a few weeks.  Since the ’48 got its start on eWillys I thought it could use an update there as well.  The pictures were taken just a stones throw south of Roxanna, Ohio where Roger Martin (pictured with me) brought it from its home in Lake Geneva, Ohio.  It looks a little better with some rubber on the wheels!

1953 CJ-3A Wenatchee, Wa $3000

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

Someone took the time to get some nice pictures with this jeep.  It sure makes the jeep look good.  I’m not even going to mention that this was the last year for the CJ-3A model, but not for the body (later used by DJs of course).

“Barn find original (mostly) CJ 3A, last year for this body style. 4 cylinder engine runs real smooth, 4WD works, goes down the road and up a trail fine. Licensed for the street, with a clean title ready to sell or trade. respond to craiglist reply. Thanks for looking”

Flattie Wanted: Trade for Snowmobile & Trailer? Central Ma

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

Mike wrote to me yesterday.  He’s looking to trade for a jeep.

Mike writes, “I discovered your website about a month ago while looking for a willys to fix up. I am looking for a 1940s or early ’50s willys that someone is willing to trade for a snowmobile and 2 place trailer (est. value of $2500). I am hoping you may be able to help me with this as i haven’t had much luck on my own. i would like to find one that needs some work, but not something i need to start from scratch with. as long as the motor isn’t frozen and there aren’t any holes in the body, i think i could work with that. I am located in central Ma, so something within 10hrs drive would be preferred.”

So, if you have anything you think Mike might like, contact him at: m.holm.sfd at gmail.com or contact me d@ewillys.com.

1940s MB with Rocket Launching Kit (Toy) Leetsdale, Pa $139

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

I really couldn’t say just how rare these toys are.  However, there was one for sale in 2007 for only $65 at G503.

I did learn that the jeep on which this was based is called both a Willys MB Calliope or a MB with a Rocket Launcher unit.  I’m sure someone else knows more about this than I.

“DANBURY MINT 40’s Willys World War II ROCKET LAUNCHER Jeep Replica with Detachable and Adjustable Angle Launcher. Produced in 1995. Finished in Olive Drab. Diecast 1:16 Scale.

VERY RARE! Great Collectible for the War Veteran or Military Collector. Beautiful Condition!
If interested, please contact Rose at 724.251.4772 or email a response to this posting.”
