Earl’s High School Vehicle: a GPW

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

Earl forwarded a photo of him and a jeep. Note how he created his ‘white walled tires’.

He writes, “Here is a photo of me and my first jeep a 1942 Ford GPW in 1952, my daily driver in high school. I paid $100 for it and had to drive it home in low range because it didn’t have any brakes. I’m still buying them without brakes. I hand painted the whitewalls on the tires, I never had a flat so it still had the combat wheels.”

Adams Farwell Rotary Engine Video

Steve sent this video. No jeeps, but an unusual and early Adams Farwell rotary motor. I’m hoping to stop by the National Auto Museum during our March trip along the California Coast (Still to be finalized).

Photo of Jeep with Odd Bumper on eBay

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

Marc found this photo. The jeep in this photo has some unusual features. Obviously, the bumper is odd. It may have a Japanese license plate. The top is odd (wish we could see more of it) and it appear to have a 2nd hood latch that is located in an unusual spot.

1964 Zamboni Ice Resurfacer Warren, ME **SOLD*

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1795.

Glenn found this rare item. I don’t know much about the V4s that power these rigs.Might be an interesting motor to check out.  I can’t tell if this is a variant of the Model F or a Model G. You can learn more about the Zamboni/jeep relationship here.

“1964 Zamboni ice-resurfacer, needs TLC, runs, goes, manuals included. These machines were made on a Jeep running gear. Dana front and rears, 3 speed manual with spicer transfer case, drive shafts etc. Will consider parting out if sale of whole machine doesn’t take place. Has V-4 air cooled motor that runs great and has propane setup. Would make a great lumber mill power plant.”

1959 FC-170 Phoenix, AZ $7700

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7700

“I’m selling a very rare 1958 Jeep FC-170! You might only ever see one or two of these in your life. They’re super cool and great fun to drive. I’ve listed this before but the motor was misfiring, turns out it needed a rebuilt carb. I spent $1000 making it a daily driver and now it’s as reliable as any other (1958) truck =)
Runs like a champ, I’m driving it everyday while the weather is nice.
Anyway, shoot me an email with a picture of ANYTHING you have to trade. This Jeep is literally the 15 or 16th secondary ride I’ve owned so I’m interested in anything with a motor and at least 2 wheels.
I love old trucks, and Volkswagens. VW Bus preferred.”

UPDATE: Still Available

(11/18/2013) Not sure what makes this “One of a Kind”, but it does look in good condition.

“One of a kind….1954 Willy’s Jeep, completely rebuilt, registered, insured and ready to drive away…This was my Dad’s pet project and he spent lots of time and money in fixing this jeep to great condition. Unfortunately he can no longer drive and has decided to sell. $14,500.00 is well worth the vehicle. More pictures and information available upon request.”
