UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $5000.

(06/14/2012) Am I missing something here?  $5000 for this? I agree, the body looks good, though this doesn’t have a tailgate like it should. And, it seems to be missing leg room for the back seat passengers. And, it requires some assembly. And, … well, you get my point.

“Very nice original jeep virtually no rust. sits on sand blasted frame set up fo sb chevy have rebuilt 327 never run. complet stock frame with axles, 4 cyl engine, trans drive shafts. All parts for chevy powered or stock Jeep This is very very nice not junk I am 70 years old and have been there if you want to play games”

A Visit to Tillamook, Oregon

We just got back to Seaside, Oregon, after a long trip down the Oregon coast.  During our drive we squeezed in a visit to the Tillamook cheese factory, visited the Blue Heron cheese store, and dropped by to see the jeeps and planes at the Tillamook Air Museum.

The building at the Air Museum was very cool, as it is the largest wooden structure in the world.  According to the website, “Stationed at NAS  Tillamook was Squadron ZP-33 with a complement of eight K-ships. The K-ships were 252 feet long and filled with 425,000 cu. ft. of helium. With a range of 2,000 miles and an ability  to stay aloft for three days, they were well suited for coast patrol and convoy escort. Naval Air Station Tillamook was decommissioned in 1948.”

The facility is now an air museum with thirty air craft.  Also housed at the museum are two jeeps. One jeep is a very nice CJ-3A that may (or may not) have been used by the Navy.  No documentation is provided to show what its history was, but its paint job suggests a Navy affiliation.

The second jeep, according to the documentation, is a “1944 Willys Jeep. However, you can quickly see this is a militarized CJ-2A. The only military Item I could see was the front grille.

Here are a few pics:

Blaine forwarded a picture of the Kapi JIP yesterday.  The picture was taken at Bruce Weiner’s micro car museum in Madison, Georgia.

While Frederico Saldana is said to have patterned this after the American Army Jeep, it looks much more like a CJ-3B/Wagon hybrid.

1952? CJ-2A? Auburn Trencher Hiawatha, Ks **SOLD**

UPDATE: Sold. Was on eBay.

John pointed this out.  It includes a video.

“A rare, working, 1952 Willys Jeep CJ2A with an Auburn Jeep-A-Trench trencher.  It will dig a trench 6″ wide and 46″ maximum depth.  The trencher was made in Auburn, Nebraska by a company that is still in existence today.  I have used this trencher 3-4 times a year for the past 6 years. It has been kept in a barn, each time I just put battery in it and it is ready to go.  I have used it for installing water lines, electrical lines, drainage tile and rain water downspouts.  It was previously owned by a local plumber.  It is simple to use and once digging is started you just stand back and watch it work.  It runs great and has not overheated in our hot and humid Kansas summers.  Brakes are soft and steering is stiff but you’re really not going to drive it any distance anyway.  It is self propelled via creeper gears and the digging outrigger can be raised and lowered via an electric motor. All of the standard Jeep CJ2A features are still retained.  It was converted to 12 volt then the trencher unit was added at the factory along with a Governor to regulate engine speed, a PTO unit, an additional drive shaft, heavy springs and frame stiffeners.  Exact mileage unknown, but it can’t be to high because the trencher has been on it since day one. Comes with spare parts including extra trencher teeth and chain links and owner guide.  Have a clear title. Sold AS IS, no warranty.  Also for sale locally.  I will not deliver.  If you arrange shipping I will assist with loading.  Deposit payment of $500 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending. Balance of payment will be cashiers check or cash.  Cashiers check must clear to be paid in full prior to shipping or removal from sellers location.”

Here is a pile of Warn OD parts.

“Three warn overdrives for a model 18 transfer case. There is enough to put together two good overdrives, the third has gear damage but saveable with some new parts. Includes shift lever and linkage. Selling all together, cleaning out garage and don’t have a use for them. $250 takes all, these overdrives are similar to Saturn overdrives. To buy new they are $800+ per overdrive.
