(04/25/2013) This looks good, but I can’t if it is a 1948 CJ-2A or a 1949 CJ-3A. I’m guessing 3A.

Painted Luzon Red with the correct stencils. Power take off 8,000# Konig winch. New military tires. This is a jeep that brings smiles to peoples’ faces! Clean California title.”

(07/19/2012) The dash is certainly unusual.  I guess it is good this wasn’t a Ford GPW, or the gauges would have been arranged in an F.

1954 CJ-3B Dallas, TX **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. Full price on this was $7000.

1954-cj3b-dallas-tx

“Up for sale is 1954 Willy CJ3B high hood.  I have owned the Jeep a couple of years and absolutely love it.  Unfortunately, I have to sell off a few hobby cars to raise some funds.  My loss is your gain.  Please see the below description of the Jeep and contact me with any questions.

Body  The tub of this Jeep was replaced by its previous owner with a brand new Willys-Overland tub.  This means that there is absolutely no rust anywhere.  The windshield frame has numerous small holes from the snaps of various tops being mounted over the years.  They would be very easy to weld up and have the frame powder coated.  The Jeep has windshield wiper motors and arms, though they are not wired.  I do not know if the motors work or not.  Paint on this Jeep looks really good, though there are a few scratches and scrapes.  This is a driver, not a show queen but it does look great.  There is a really neat seat mounting system that was built and it incorporates two cup holders as well as a solid mounted ammo box that serves for center console storage.  The passenger seat flips up to allow access to the back and also to under-seat toolbox.  All of the gauges are Mallory brand and all seem to work well.  I do have a Tuffy rear seat with the lockable storage box underneath that will be included for the By-It-Now option only.  I do not have the keys for this lock however.  Again, the Tuffy back seat and under seat storage box is not included in the regular auction, only the Buy-It-Now.

Ryan forwarded this. It’s not perfect, but there appears to be value here. The body has some crinkles.

“All body and interior parts of Willys 1947 CJ2A, including tub, tailgate, fenders, hood, grill, instruments, and seat frames.

All in fair original shape, with some rust that will need patching in floor, and threshold area (see pictures. Fenders, hood, and grill solid, but normal dings and dents. Never bondo-ed, never patched.

All parts sold together until 6/7/13, when I will part out separately if not sold as package.”

Fri. June 7th: An Old Building and New Cars

<– Day 34 – Thurs. June 6th: Carousels and Awards | Trip Overview | Day 36 – Sat. June 8th: Escape to the Movies –>

wurlitzer-plaque-donation-loresForrest Gump was right: Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get. When I began this trip I never expected to be on the front page of a town’s newspaper. As I mentioned yesterday, I feel fortunate it was a slow news day! I did note there were a few quotes attributed to me worded in a way that I’d never do, but that’s the good/bad of being interviewed.

On Friday morning Ann and I were scheduled to visit the Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda and enjoy a brief tour by the president of the company that owns and operates it. The building is huge (I can’t remember the exact size), but at one point it employed over 3000 people. You can read a fuller history of the Wurlitzer Company in North Tonawanda from 1892 to 1942 here.

While many square feet have been turned into office space that’s leased to companies, thousands of square feet remain empty, awaiting a reason to transform back into something leasable.

Below are a few photos:

This is only part 1/5 (?) of the Wurlitzer building in North Tonawanda, NY. It’s the entrance.

Here is organ restoration specialist Jeff Weiler and I in front of the entrance. Ann and I plan to meet up with Jeff and see his restoration shop in Chicago during our trip back home.

This is President of The Wurlitzer Building Tom Austen, who showed us around a portion of the building.

This is one wing of the 3rd floor that is empty (except for some file storage).
