CJ-2A Tub & Parts Snohomish, WA $800

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $800

“I have a good, pretty much rust free tub, 2 sets of fenders, a grill, one frame that the tub is on [has been modified somewhat but could be brought back easily] rancho springs, steering column, a hood that has been cut for a scoop, another frame that is rusted out at behind the rear springs but has front and rear ends, a trans and transfer case in it and a cowl but the rest of the body is gone and it has a column and box, later ball joint front end with no axles or outers. Also, if you pay my full asking price I WILL INCLUDE A TITLE FOR A 1945 CJ2A. But only if you pay full price and that is not negotiable at all. I also have a Ford 2.3 liter that was going to go into this project, it was propane powered and low hours, I will include it for an extra 300.”

1945 Photo of Fisherman & Willys MA on eBay

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

I’ve seen this photo on Getty images, so they likely would claim that the organization owns the copyright on all of these images.

“1945 Press Photo Fisherman Uses A Jeep to Reach Distant Trout Fishing Areas. This is an original press photo. Jeep has a future in postwar America The versatile jeep, which has become known as the “Sweetheart of the Army,” has a future in postwar America, both as an agricultural and industrial machine. All kinds of special bodies, air compressors, and pulley attachments for postwar units can be used with the jeep. Here a fisherman uses the jeep to reach the far-back trout streams and lakes. In low, low gear it reaches these distant pastures which are always too far for the fisherman on foot. Photo measures 8 x 6.25 inches. Photo is dated 05-26-1945.”

1956 T-Man Comic with Ford GP on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Comics, Features, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Strangely, this 1956 Comic book (#31) on eBay features T-Man (Treasury Man) Pete Trask fighting a “Red Agent” in a Ford GP, while four issues earlier T-Man raced bad guys in a more traditional WWII jeep (see bottom photo). I wonder why the comic switched to an older jeep? Maybe we have to read it to find out??
