On May 1st we drove home to Pasco. We didn’t stop anywhere, so there’s nothing to report. We landed in Pasco, tired, but happy about our great southwest adventure!

Marc found this fascinating photo. The description explains these jeeps were part of ‘Operation Roll Up’, a plan to gather up jeeps left in the Pacific Islands during WWII.

“This is an original press photo. Dept- US Army Service Corps, Credit – ACME & NEAPhoto measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 03-18-1952.”

Year? CJ-3A Scotts Valley, CA $750

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Runs, but needs some work.

“I have a Willys Jeep for sale.
It has a Buick V6-225 that runs well. It is in rough condition but not falling apart. I have mounted the battery in the rear deck due to the V6 occupying all the engine compartment space.
I traded some work for it years ago but have run out of desire to work on it.
It has no paperwork and will need a VIN search. I can only offer a bill of sale.
You will need to come and get it with a tow or trailer. It runs but is not road worthy, .”

Year? CJ-3A Limerick, ME **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.

Not sure how much value is here.

“This is what is left of my ‘donor’ CJ3A plow jeep I built. It plowed my yard for the past 15 years but the engine was tired and smoked. Since I had more engines and parts, I made another plow jeep last year using the body, windshield and seats from this. It runs, but needs the engine accessories (carb, radiator, fuel pump, etc.). Sits on 3 16″ rims and 1 15″ rim to roll out of the way. Parted out, this would garner more than $200.”
