Equipped with electronic ignition, an electric fuel pump, and two gas tanks. It has a three-speed tranny with 4wd with a Hi/Low transfer case. New paint, new soft top, and brand new wheels and tires. It’s an eye-catcher and a great buy for a classic Willys enthusiast!”

1947 CJ-2A Throckmorton, TX $3500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3900.

“Cool little Jeep! 1947 Flat Fender Willys, runs and drives! This would be a great candidate for a restoration, but it is functional as-is. This would be a much cheaper option if you wanted to use it in the place of a UTV, (Polaris Ranger, Kawasaki Mule, Kubota, etc.), but it also has a clear TX title so that it can be registered to drive legally on the pavement as well. Has new brake wheel cylinders all the way around, as well as a new alternator (12 volt). Feel free to call or text if you have any other questions. I prefer cash sales, but if you have something to trade of similar value, give me a shout, the worst I can do is say no. This Jeep is available as long as this posting is active.”

(10/01/2015) It’s a project.

“1945 Overland Willys Jeep, 9 louver grill, no tailgate. Engine has been started in last 10 years, runs rough. Reconstructed WWII frame (welded front end from an MB jeep), Oregon VIN, Virginia Title.

Includes canvas cover and windshield (not pictured) and all you see in the photos. Most all original parts remain and are in the back of the Jeep. The black&white pic is from approx 2004 before the jeep was disassembled for this project and is included for reference only.

This was a restoration project that was started and is unfinished. At some point painted red, but the original military green paint is under it. This has been in my family since 1995.

This Jeep is not in running condition. AS-IS, WHERE IS.”

Friday March 18th: The Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum

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

<– Day 9 – Thursday March 17th: Crowded Backroads & Exploding Beer Glasses | Day 11 – Saturday March 2016 FC Roundup Report –>

Today we didn’t do a whole lot, which meant we got some rest. The one thing we did do, visit the Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum, turned into a great opportunity. The museum, located in Miami, Arizona, celebrates the minerals, mines, and culture of the area. It was much larger than I thought it would be with some good exhibits.

The most interesting part of the museum for us was that we met the curator, Thomas Foster, who was very excited to hear about SLAG. So, I let him browse through my copy. He was so excited about the concept and its references to Arizona history, that he wants me to “get the damn thing finished ” so he could read it. And, he wants us to return this fall to give a presentation (which could mean more book sales). So, our one stop today was a good one 🙂
