Monday’s drive to visit Peter Debella in Riverhead.

On Monday we dropped off Karson at his ‘home’ (an Extended Stay Inn), exchanged good byes, and headed east to meet with Peter Debella in Riverhead, New York. Peter runs Peter Debella Jeep Parts. He invited Ann and I out to see some of the jeeps and parts he has.

Ride for Korean War Vet: Birthday Surprise in Cleveland Ohio July 7th

Scott spotted this ad. Anyone near Cleveland want to contact them or let the local MVPA know?

“I am looking to rent a WW2 Ford Army Jeep. My father in law drove this jeep in the Korean war. His birthday is July 7th and I would like to surprise him with a jeep ride. If I can not find a Ford jeep I am sure a Willys Jeep would do the job also. Please contact me if you know of anyone that owns or has access to this kind of Jeep. I am not sure that he would be comfortable driving your vehicle. I am sure that he would appreciate a ride if you are not comfortable with others driving your jeep.
Chris”

1946 CJ-2A Brigantine Beach, NJ **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s another refurbished jeep from Brigantine Beach. In regards to the seller’s answer to a buyer’s questions (see the ebay ad), while true the U.S. Air Force wasn’t formed until 1947, prior to that it was either the Army Air Corps (AAC) or the US Army Air Forces (USAAF). This jeep isn’t about accuracy. It’s about having some fun.

Then I got to thinking. As a point of discussion, is it a misuse of government intellectual property to paint on and resale something with USAF like this? I’m not that concerned about it, but I was just wondering if it’s technically legal. I might have to research that.

1951 CJ-3A Navy Jeep? Vader, WA eBay

It’s rough, but it does include a Navy tag. The tag looks like it could be original to the jeep.

“This Auction is For a 1951 Willys CJ-5 Jeep.  It is complete with a 4 cyl. and a manual transmission.  It is a 4X4 and also has a PTO or extra gear box and shifter.  This Jeep is a great project and ran when parked, it has been sitting for a a couple years now so may take a little work to get it going again.   There are not many of these old jeeps left now days.  This one has some rust but nothing that cant be fixed.  It still has the Info Plate on the dash showing it was registered to the US Navy in California.  The Jeep has a hood scoop or breather on the top of the hood and I believe it is for a snorkel, which was used for driving off road in wet areas or crossing rivers, ect…  The jeep looks rough in the pictures but will clean up nice.  I will take some better pics of it and add them to the auction in the next day or two.   The Jeep has a clear title and to my knowledge has never been wrecked at all.  High bidder is to pay the shipping costs, but I will assist with setting up shipping or may even be able to transport the vehicle (we have several tow trucks and trailers) for costs, depending on the timing.  I reserve the right to end this auction early if and acceptable offer is given as it is for sale locally also.  It wont last long so if you want it now is the time.  If you have any questions or picture requests you can email them to me and I will respond.”

1948 CJ-2A Aumsville, OR **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

This build looks clean, but having the speakers mounted like they are means you’ll have to cover them whenever jeeping. Maybe that part is removable? The hood scoop is unusually shaped.
