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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Lots of upgrades on this rockcrawler.

“Back up for sale. I have a 1953 Willys CJ3A built for rockcrawling. I have built this for the last 7 yrs and now I need one for the family. It has way to many upgrades to list. A few of the basics are: its a Willys that has a Buick V6 225, TH350 trans, Dana20 w/ Teralow gears, Dana30 Front and Dana 44 rear axles both w/ ARB air locker 4:88 gears and chrome Moly shafts (The rear is full float/ the front has bigger U joints), Custom made MRW extreme 40 count real beadlocks w/ 37″ (almost new) radial iroks. Custom removeable cage, 4 linked rear suspension w/ Fox Air Shocks …….. I have built this for many years and I know it inside and out. It runs excellent even at 8000 ft elevation. I just went thru the Jeep and replaced the electric fuel pump and fixed the drivers caliper and bracket I broke last year. This is 100% ready for the trail this year. I have ran many trails such as the Rubicon Trail countless times and Fordyce Jeep Trail and this jeep performs well!!!!! I have put over $13,000 into this jeep in the last 7 years. I have almost every reciept for this build. I can remove the PowerTank, puematic system and winch for 1,000 off the price. I could still use those. It’s not street leagal as of now but eaisly could be with the addition of a few items. (I towed it to the trails) still has registration tags not a green tagged vehicle. For more info or many more pics just email. NO LOW BALLERS I dont need to sell this fast. $6500.00obo Thanks for looking.”

1941 MB Las Vegas, NV *SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $15000.

(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille.  I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

1967 CJ-6 Yuba City, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500

(11/05/2012) I think this should have chrome bumpers like the jeep above.  Still, this looks in good shape.

“1967 Jeep CJ6 (20″ longer than a CJ5). This is the Tuxedo Park Mark IV model, which amounts to chrome on hindges, etc. This jeep has the Duantless (hurricane) GM V6 engine which was stock, the first engine Jeep went to after the F & L four cylinder flat head engines. This jeep comes with the original hard top & hard doors, which all have new glass (i bought it from a fellow who owned a glass shop). The previous owner did a frame up restoration (no drive train that i know of). I have done the following to the jeep: new wiring harness; front disc brakes; power steering; tilt steering; larger gas tank under the rear end; changed the manual 3 speed transmission to a 4 speed with a granny gear (the tranny needs some work as 2nd gear is tough going in); replaced oil bath air filter with a dry element air filter; rebuilt transfer case; new oil pressure, temp, tachometer, fuel & volt gauges; electric heater; kenwood stereo (not a modern blue tooth/USB type, it was a few years ago). This jeep has a PTO winch on the front, will pull itself up a tree! Bridgestone mud dueler tires, you won’t need tires for several years to come. Tow bar. It comes with two rear seats, the original & an after market folding rear seat from JC Whitney. CB radio. Sad to say i am selling this jeep to buy a newer one, the newer ones are easier to get in & out of, my knees are getting old! If you don’t like the price make me an offer to buy or trade for a newer jeep that has bigger door openings!”

Here are a couple different postcards of a DJ-3A Surrey towing some kind of visitor car at the Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI.  The Bavarian Inn is still there.  I wonder what happened to the jeep?
