Year? CJ-3A Rumney, NH **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800. It seems to have a Worman hardtop.

(01/11/2012) Abe forwarded this.  It does not run.  It appears to include a plow.

“late ’50s Jeep CJ-3A currently not running, mostly complete, 6 volt system. It comes with an aftermarket Jee-Cap aluminum top and doors with opening windows. The body tub is rough, and someone has replaced the rear corners with welded steel panels. Ugly but functional. The frame seems solid and all the mechanicals are there. Great winter project. I will include several Jerry cans, extra radiator and voltage regulator, and the tire chains this jeep came with.
The Snowbear plow in my other ad would fit this nicely. Package price $1,400.
Cash is great, but I might also be willing to trade this Jeep for a 1993-2000 Honda TRX300 4×4 fourtrax (NOT AN EX!)depending on what it needs, even not running or totally complete. I would also consider a ’98 or newer Ski-Doo Grand Touring, depending on condition. Send me pictures with your reply.
I am also listing a 1979 Honda XL350, a Snowbear plow, a Honda Recon four wheeler, some Honda enduro plastics and a utility trailer in other listings. Please take a look, as I will do package deals for any or all of these items.”

1956 Wagon Brodhead, WI **SOLD**

March 30, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Jeep Rods, Willys Wagons • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
0

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200

(11/22/2010) This looks like a worth project for the price (it doesn’t sound like there’s much to do)

“I got this on a trade I had visions of making a finished hot rod with it but I just dont have the time anymore. Its mounted and channeled over a S-10 frame with the 4.3 liter engine still in it. The engine still runs but there is no gas tank installed. There is a pretty fair amount of metal fab left, but if you have the skills needed for this project it would make a cool ride. There is minimal rust left on the body. The old floor was rotted out and a new floor put in by the previous owner. I have some more pics if needed. This is located in Broadhead WI which is about 1/2 hour west of Beloit , WI. I live in Sycamore, IL so anyone wanting to see will need to make arrangement with me to look at it.”

Anyone Recognize This Vehicle?

I found this picture of Henry J Kaiser sitting in this jeep, but I can’t tell what kind of jeep it is.  It looks like a cross between a flatfender (front) and M151 (rear).  I am wondering if it was a prototype of some sort.  Anyone recognize it? Note the four bolt rims.

Here are a few last minute details:
We will be driving as a group in FCs to breakfast every morning and also to Dinner some of the nights.
Parking on my property is for FCs / FleetVans only, no exceptions.
Absolutely no smoking near the vehicles, the vehicles on display have vented gas caps.
A smoking area will be provided away from Vehicles.
I love all Children and Dogs, but this event is about FCs, at my house, I will (I have had to) ask people to leave, if you come here with any animal that is not on a leash at your side, Small Children must also be near there parents at all times.
All vehicles on display have owners, please have respect of other peoples property, do not open any doors or sit in anyone’s vehicle, without the owner being present.
It is unfortunate that the fuel prices continue to increase and causing some grief to all of us. I am very grateful to all of you, that are bringing vehicles from far away. I am also grateful to know about all the continued efforts, that some of you have done, that will be bringing new vehicles this year.

Thank You
