Jeep Engines & Parts Morristown, NJ

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

UPDATE: Still lots of parts available

“I have 12 Jeep Willys engines for sale, mainly all 1940’s thru 50’s. Looking to sell all of them, open to make a deal all of them, or sell individually based upon ones needs. I’ve been an enthusiast and collector my whole life who has owned multiple willy jeeps, both military and civilian over the years. That being said, I’ve accumulated multiples of specific engines, engine parts, and I am looking to sell everything asap.

1958 Wagon Kansas City, MO **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: Was $3000. **SOLD**

(05/02/2014) This might be worth a look. Not running at the moment, but might not take much.

“I don’t know a lot about this vehicle at this point. My father and my nephew worked on this vehicle together. My father had paid someone to get it running and shortly after he got it running it was parked in the barn on a farm. I just recently went down to pick it up to sell it. I know that it is not currently running, but it was running before it was parked. My father has since passed away so I have no more information on the jeep. It is really very cool it is a must see.”

The Cockpit of the Spruce Goose

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

I’m going to take the weekend off. Next update will be Monday morning.

Today I spent some time doing some housekeeping on the site, including updating the WordPress backbone to the latest version along with all the plugins. Phone users (and everyone) can now search a little more easily using the ADV search link at the top of the page. So, if something doesn’t quite work right, that’s probably why.

Here’s how our Spruce Goose photo is supposed to look:

On another note, Colin shared an email with me that I altered into the story below. I don’t know about you all, but I warned Ann when we first started dating to tell me before she cut or colored her hair. I said I’d never notice. She’ll even point it out and I still can’t tell, but I can sure spot a jeep with just a glance.

A husband went to the police station to file a “missing person” report for his missing wife:

Husband : I lost my wife, she went shopping & hasn’t come back.
Inspector : What is her height ?
Husband: I never checked.
Inspector : Slim or healthy ?.
Husband: Not slim, can be healthy.
Inspector : Color of eyes ?
Husband : Never noticed.
Inspector : Color of hair ?
Husband : Changes according to season.
Inspector : What was she wearing?
Husband : I think it was red, but not sure whether it was a dress or a suit.
Inspector : Was she driving?
Husband : Yes.

Inspector : Tell me the make, model & color of the vehicle . . . . .
Husband : She was driving a harvest tan CJ-3A with a Buick V6 that generates 250 horsepower powering a Ford Toploader 4 Speed. It has a full cage colored a faux shade of aluminum. The winch on the front is a classic pre-Warn belleview winch held up by an ARB bumper that I customized. There’s a small scratch on the hood and a dent on rear quarter panel …..

The husband halted, then started crying…

Inspector: Don’t worry sir, ……. We will find your jeep.
