Don Prine Has Passed

A legend in the jeep world, Don Prine passed away this morning at the age of 97. Involved in jeeps since the age of the prototypes (he was one of the drivers who drove a jeep up the capital steps in early 1941), Don has lived and breathed jeeps — jeeping, racing, selling parts and servicing them through Prine Jeep — his entire life. I used to see him at races when I was a kid. In 2008 I spoke to him over the phone about stainless bodies; he couldn’t have been more helpful. He will be missed.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Here’s some good details about the rare DJ-6. Seller appears to be parting out similar specs that probably came from the same booklet.

Hesse Hornet Air Compressor **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a little confusing. Seller calls this a CJ-6A engine, but the tag reads CJ-3A. It’s a flathead, so the CJ-6A designation seems incorrect.

“For sale is a 1963 Hesse Hornet compressor made by the Hesse Carriage Co. It was designed to sit in the back of a pick-up or on it’s own small trailer. This particular Hesse uses a rare Jeep Kaiser 4cyl CJ-6A engine. It pumps air by having two of the 4 cylinders blocked off to compress while the other two function normally. The engine itself looks good and runs great. It may need a small tune-up from storage but nothing major. It does not come with a battery or gas tank. I tested it by rigging up a temporary tank.

This has a tool indent on the passenger side, a military tank, and no WILLYS stamps. Sure looks like a M-606. I didn’t know they installed V-6s in them? The jeep has a few other updates.

1953 M-38A1 Grand Haven, MI **SOLD**

March 23, 2015 • CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Sold on eBay for $10,000

“1953 Willys Army Jeep M38A1 in very good condition. Jeep came out of Arizona and was owned by same person since the 70’s. I bought a year ago and gave full tune-up with new plugs, wire, points, condenser, distributor, etc. Runs awesome and starts every time. It has no rust at all and it is an old Jeep so it does have a couple of drips which is to be expected. This vehicle is ready to roll so you can buy and drive. Also has the heater option which is nice. Everything is working. The paint is nice, but this is not the $16,000-$20,000 Restoration that you see out there, but it is a very nice $12,000 Jeep and worth the money.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

Looks solid.

“I have a 1948 CJ2A for sale. The tub and interior are in great condition. Has a strong running small block Ford V8. New exhaust including headers. New motor mounts from advanced adapters. Drives great but does need new drive lines because of repositioning of engine. Can be driven as is but doesn’t have front drive line so no four wheel drive. Will work perfect once drive lines are replaced (should only be a couple hundred for custom ones to be built do to being so short.) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.”
