CJ-2A & CJ-3A Parts Jeep Huron, OH $1500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  Now on Craigslist.

(07/17/2012) The windshield looks like a CJ-3B windshield, only taller? Or is that my imagination.  The installation of the steering wheel was unusual . . .

“This is a 1948 jeep willys. Many mods/upgrades have been done. It has a compklete fiberglass body kit installed. It has a v-6 225 with headers and a holley intake. The motors runs but may have a blown head gasket, mily oil. It has a pto with a 10,000# winch. Also, having cnc hyd. conversions with rack and pinion steering. The tires are like new goodyears.

Year? CJ-3B Olympia, WA $1700

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

It runs and drives and is a mish mash of parts.  You don’t often see a CJ-2A windshield on a CJ-3B body. And that hood, what’s up with it?  It’s just wrong.

“1947 willys jeep the title says cj2….flat 4 cyl twin stick transfer case 4 speed starts runs and drives and stops and the stock tires even hold air….the tub is pretty rough and has been plated and welded ….the lights and signals work….clean title and a tub of extra parts and a service manual is a running project 1700”

YEEP! YEEP! AMERIKANSK YEEP! from Life Magazine

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features, Magazine, Women & Jeeps • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The July 23, 1945, issue of Life Magazine has a three page article by Joe Weston that describes a jeep trip through Sweden in what I would guess was May or June of 1945.  Based on the three cartoons (show below) they were driving a Willys MA.

The article describes crowds of people gawking at the jeep wherever they went.  In Stockholm people started removing parts off of it.  The article was a funny read.

Read the entire article within Google Books or

Buy the magazine on eBay

Below are the three cartoons:

Mid-1950s 38″ x 50″ Poster of Jeep Family **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Artists/Drawings, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

The seller is from Canada, so shipping to the US is expensive.  This would be a cool piece to have, but between shipping and the purchase price it’s a bit steep for me.

” Bidding for a so-so condition vintage Willys dealer poster.This was on a wall at an old dealership that was also a garage of course.I have actually spent some time to clean this up quite a bit.There are numerous rear clear tape repairs I had to do at quite a few edges and in the main body itself,water staining,dust discoloration,pin or staple holes,crinkles etc..Large pics should provide an idea of the condition.SX-233-4 form number I believe at bottom left corner.I had some other items from the garage that were all dated either 1954 or 1955 so this would be from the same time I`d say.Listed it because I know these are hard to find these days,better than nothing at all.Old original dealer stock,great for the collection.Questions have to be asked a day before sale end.Will combine shipping whenever possible,multiple or frequent bid winners will benefit,so check out my other listings.Shipping is $22.50 $US to the USA,$18.00 to within Canada.I`ll have to roll it up as well as possible and ship in square or tubular box.I ship one to three times a week now,depending when I go to town,fuel is super expensive up here now,and my local post office can no longer ship parcels.Canada post from up here to the US may take one or two weeks,border,travel time,size of item being shipped,destination,etc.,often for something like this it is much faster,please be patient,it`ll get there.I pack very well. pst in Mb.”

1941 Ford GP Quitman, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  This was listed at $500.  **SOLD**

“1941 Ford Jeep Serial No. 9270. Number 746 of 4, 458 built. Date of manufacture is on nomenclature plate on dash, 4/28.41. Tub has some rusted out areas but is basically solid. Tailgate is not original equipment but is Willys and professionally installed. Front part of floor is galv. plate which was cut to fit a 350 Chevy engine. Motor mounts on chassis are for that engine. Steering gear is not original. Flat iron grille is believed to be original, however I could not determine for certain it came on Ford jeeps, as Ford did design the pressed sheet metal grille on all future jeeps, Ford and Willys. Chassis is jeep, year of orgin unknown. Does have tapered rear axle which turns freely. Front differential housing is intact but shaft is missing and possibly some gears. Best part of jeep is the dash which is straight and untouched. All three plates are original and securely rivited to dash. The book, Hail to the Jeep has a picture of this model jeep being driven up Washington Capitol steps by Edsel Ford. ”
