(09/30/2012) The seller sugests this is a M-38.  I’ve sent the seller a note about this.

” This is a 1951 Model U.S. Army jeep in excellent condition. I do not know if the mileage is original.  This is one the last of the flat fender jeeps. Introduced in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean war. Only 45,173 were made. Production ended in Sept of 1952.  NO RUST!  Has NDCC military tires, Has the Willys L4-134 “Go Devil” 60 HP engine which was the original for this Jeep.  6 Volt battery.  Installed front seat belts. The drive train is in excellent operating condition.  Drive it anywhere at 40 or 45 MPH.   It can be flat towed. No trailer needed.

1951 CJ-3A Clearfield, UT **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

(10/05/2012) This hasn’t been driven since 1985.  However, it has been garaged since then.  The body is supposed to be solid.  This may be worth a look.

“Classic Willys CJ-3A. This jeep has been in my family since the 1960’s. It was hauled from California to Idaho in the late 1990’s where it has been garaged until I recently brought it down to Clearfield to sell it. It has never seen a Utah "salty-road" winter, so the body and frame do not have the rust that you see on typical Utah Jeeps that are 30-40 years newer (body, floor, and frame are solid). I put in a running 289 engine (V8 out of a Rancho) with 302 heads (bored and ported) in it back in 1988 along with a new clutch and throwout bearing, but I remain time-challenged, so it remains unrestored. The mileage noted is actual for the entire jeep (with the exception of the engine). The last time this jeep was driven was 1985. The last time I started the engine was 1989.In addition to the upgraded engine, it comes with a roll bar, custom bumpers (front & back) with a tow hitch on the front, and (2) five gallon Jerry Cans. I will also throw in the full roll cage (custom bent for this jeep with heavy piping, but not assembled) along with a set of 4 tires and rims from a 1968 CJ5 (tires still have good tread). It has been a dream of mine since the mid-80’s to restore this jeep, but alas, we purchased running CJ5 for my son to use, thus we are looking for a good home for the 3-A where it can be restored to its former glory. I am asking $1,500 O.B.O. with the extra set of tires and rims or $1,200 without.”

Case Trapper Knife with Color Scrimshaw

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

UPDATE: Was listed on eBay.

(10/24/2012) This is a new knife, not a vintage knife. I’m a bit surprised at the price, which is $142 as of this post. But then, I am no knife expert.

“A NEW In The Box Case XX Amber Bone Trapper Knife with A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have just finished of an old Willys Jeep and a fisherman sitting on his Canoe. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom right. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.

Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.

I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.

The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed”
