1959 CJ-5 Kearny, AZ $1650

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This runs and drives and has some new parts.

“This Willys has a new transfer case, new transmission, new fuel tank and new canvas over foam seats.I has the original four cylinder engine, it doesn’t ever run hot. It always starts and stops, (new brakes). It does not have a top, winch, spare tire or roll bar. The pan had rust holes but has been plated so It’s a driver but not a likely restoration project. The tires hold air and have about 40% tread but they are pretty old. I’m asking $1650′

1951 M-38 Bremerton, WA $1500

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

Includes a Warn overdrive.

“1951 Willys M38 project. No engine. Twin-stick transfer case, Warn overdrive unit. Brand new Rancho suspension. Tires are old but have almost no miles on them. I have the headlight buckets and trim also. This jeep is going to require a lot of work to put together. I bit off more than I can handle. I bought it from a junk yard, so there isn’t a title until it gets put together and inspected by the highway patrol.

This jeep had a carbureted 302 in it when I bought it, so that’s what the motor mounts are. I bought a fuel injected 302 to put in it, but never did. ”

DJ-3A Galas & Frank M. Brandstetter

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

I recently ordered a biography called Brandy: Our Man in Acapulco as part of some research into DJs at the Las Brisas Resort in Acapulco. I was surprised to see the cover included a color photo, one I’ve never seen, of nine DJ-5 surrey/galas in Las Brisas. There’s an entire chapter on Las Brisas, so I’m hoping for some good research information.

I’ve only gone through the book briefly, but the book credits Brandsetter with taking over Las Brisas in 1959 and turning it into the world’s top resort by 1972. They also claim Frank instituted the resort’s no tipping policy, but that policy was actually implemented by founder Juan March and existed for more than a year before Brandsetter entered the picture as evidenced in a Feb. 28, 1958 Milwaukee Sentinel article. There is an entire chapter devoted to Brandy and Las Brisas, so hopefully there will be some interesting tidbits and research vectors.

1967 CJ-5 Brush Fire Amenia, NY $7900

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like a good price.

“I’m selling this all original, 1967 CJ5 Brush Fire Jeep with its original Buick 6 Cylinder “Dauntless” engine. The body and frame are extremely solid. I personally would do a repaint on it but it is not necessary. As you can see in the pictures it was built with brush fire fighting capabilities which make it rare. 4WD with low and high range. Extremely large and powerful winch mounted as seen in the pictures. Interior in excellent condition. Comes with a plow.

The Mack Bulldog on the front is equipped with a water line controlled from the drivers seat which allows the dog to “p” on people in front of it when the button is depressed. Great for parades, fire company display, farm use or just as a novelty driver. Vehicle starts and runs as it should. There is some work that needs to be done with suspension but currently I drive it on the road. Because of the weight from the special gear and water tank when full these jeeps were built with very heavy duty suspension systemsI have a clear transferable registration ready to go.”
