WANTED: 1955 CJ-5 Solid in Wolfeboro

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

Seller of a jeep would like to get it back.

Approximately three years ago my girlfriends father sold his mid-fifties Jeep CJ to a gentleman from somewhere in the central to the north end of New Hampshire or southern Maine. It was sold in Wolfeboro, NH and towed away to where ever.

The seller was a man named Richard and he has since passed away. His daughter, my girlfriend and soon-to-be fiance’, has many great childhood memories connected to that vehicle and wishes to purchase it back. We are happy to offer a great profit to the seller if we can just locate him and get in contact. The physical and/or running condition of the Jeep is not important in any way – it just needs to be his Jeep.

It is as follows:
– a 1955 Jeep Willys (looks a bit more modern – like a CJ – not the square fenders)
– red faded paint
– in very stock condition
– snowplow mount on the front (or at least it had one….)
– half cab hardtop without doors

*** Looks very similar to the Jeep pictured in the photo attached to this post but the hard top is different (it ends right behind the doors).
VIN and Photos of the exact vehicle coming soon !!!!
Have you seen this Jeep in or around your town?
Do you have any information regarding its whereabouts? Possible reward for information leading to finding it.
We are ready to make a deal immediately if we can track it down – please help.”

Looks rebuilt well.

“1951 Willys M38 VIN: NA manual transmission title : clean

The early production1951 M38 Military Jeep that is for sale has the original reconditioned body and drivetrain. The frame-off restoration is documented and NOS parts were used. This Jeep is not comprised of a pile of parts from other Jeeps. The sheet metal is beautiful, no repair panels or bondo/filler. Other details: 24 volt system, winter top, working wipers, scabbard, back seat, cuno filter, original data tags, and deep water fording. I never had the Jeep stenciled therefore it is a clean slate for the next owner. The meticulous restoration was completed 15 years ago therefore the patina is perfect. Clean PA title. The Jeep will be at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler Pa, June 12 -15. Serious Inquiries only, please.”

1956 M-38A1 Shepherdsville, KY $12,000

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1, trailer • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like a nice combo.

I have a body off restoration M38a1 Jeep and trailer parade ready.This is the Marine Corps version with full fording gear.The only thing not restored on this vehicle is the engines internals runs like a top but does burn oil.This vehicle will be on display at the MVPA nationals from June 25 till June 28 at the Kentucky Expo center.This Jeep is immaculate in every detail comes with many extra parts including etra engine block, heads,rear ends ,and transmission and transfer case.Biggest reason I am selling is due to the fact that this vehicle has a top speed of 45 to 50mph and around here you would be run over at that speed on highway.I can be contacted by phone or text also at 4one9six0two4zero33.Where i was from in Ohio there were enough 55mph roads to travel to many shows and parades but down here it has to be trailered for your own safety.Bulldog on hood not included.Might consider trade of equal value on Cobra Mustang 99-2004″
