Sandy Nearly Crunches Ted’s Plow Jeep

Ted’s CJ-5 was narrowly spared by Hurricane Sandy. Great pics!

Ted writes, “Hey Dave, here’s a few shots of a huge tree that came down during Sandy and almost got my new plow truck. I almost moved the CJ and my dump truck in back round before storm but never got to it. I got real lucky, the little CJ pushed her way through three and two feet deep snow storms later in the year!!!”

“I’ve had this great running little jeep for several years. I’m thinking I may want to pursue a different hobby so it may be time for my Jeep to move to a new home. I purchased this from a friend of mine (WWII aircraft mechanic) that used it at Centennial Airport to pull vintage airplanes around the hanger. The reported history is it was originally purchased by the US Navy in Hawaii and used as a shore patrol or similar right after the war. Although there were many Army jeeps in the area, the Navy purchased a few right after the war directly from local dealers (sounds like a mini-stimulus program). I verified this info from a WWII Jeep forum on the web called G503.com.

AN/TVS-3 Searchlight on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I can’t imagine these appear too often??

“AN/TVS-3 Searchlight. These units came out an Air Force base and are powered by 120/240volt 400hz. It appears to be in great condition but we do not have the proper generator to power these units. I do however know where a couple are located and will pass that information along to any successful bidders. Please visit out website Shop Military Stuff for more information and additional pictures.”

1942 GPW Albany, NY **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This runs, has not title, and needs work.

1942-gpw-albany-ny01

“I bought this GPW for the original top bows that it had and because she is a driver.  I will provide a bill of sale only, no title.  Due to that fact, I’m selling it as a parts jeep.  I planned to part it out but have decided to sell it as is since she’s a runner and I’m sure the right person can enjoy it for what it is.   If I don’t sell it I will use it around my property to move stuff around.  It appears to be a radio jeep due to four mounting holes on the fender well in the rear driver side by the tool box.   It also appears to have had a machine gun due to the four holes on the floor where the machine gun mount on the frame is.  The frame is decent with vin that matches the glove box. Engine is an MB engine.  Original paint can be seen where the civilian paint has been pressure washed off in many places.  The early windshield in the picture was removed but I have another early windshield with brass latches that will be included.   It will however need some repair.
