2018 Willys America Open House and BBQ
Willys America’s open house is this coming weekend (Saturday July 14th 10am to 4pm). Dan Bowermaster will be leading the caravan from San Francisco to the event in Cazadero. I *thought* I’d be attending it this year with Ann and my daughter Kasia (who is completing an internship in Walnut Creek this summer), but complications forced me to put it off again this year.

CJ-6 Replacement Side Panels
Blake is looking for some replacement side panels for a CJ-6 project he has, but can’t located any replacement panels for the 20″ spacer installed into the body. Anyone know of either a template or someone that makes them?
1948 CJ-2A Richland, GA $8900
This militarized CJ-2A has disc brakes on all four wheels. This looks pretty solid.

“I did upgrade the brakes to all four disk brakes and change the 6 volt system to a 12 volt system. Other than those two items it is original.”
1947 CJ-2A Folsom, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(06/26/2018) Has the miner hood ornament.
“The Jeep is is great shape for being almost 70 years old. It has a Chevy 350 in it, aftermarket steering, new tires and winch, new seats. This Jeep has the original three speed so it’s just a cruiser on the road. Needs a little love here and there. I would love to trade for something in the Offroad world. Ideally a wrangler or something a little more kid friendly.”
1949 CJ-3A Grants Pass, OR **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5250.
Has a few minor updates.
“Runs great. 12volt system. Newer carb, fuel pump, rebuilt starter and new solenoid. Comes with roll cage and a complete enclosure heater.
Will consider best offer.”

Runs.

1948 CJ-2A Santa Rosa, CA $4500

(11/04/2017) Doesn’t run at the moment.
“As pictured. Starter is removed and is suspected to be bad. Engine ran well last time I saw it but it has been being stored in my dads driveway for the last 20 years.
I do not know the condition of anything other than visual appearance. Please do not ask.
This is a project, not a daily driver.”

1958 Austin Gypsy Prescott Valley, AZ **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Looks like a good restoration candidate.
“Well, I used to find stuff like this all the time.Not so much anymore.This is 1958 Austin Gypsy. British early SUV.There are very,very few of these in North America. I found this up in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California. Where it had sat in a field since 1972. The seller said it was pretty much rustfree. Until we pulled it out the dirt it that sank into.Showing rust along both lower rocker areas due to said dirt. There is also rust in the tool box bottoms where someone bolted in a rollbar a long time ago.
Rest of the body and frame are not bad. The original engine turns over fine and looks like most everything is there. The front differential and axles are missing. Though part of it and the front driveshaft are in the back area of the Gypsy. The engine turns over nicely.The wheels and hubs are al free and move nicely. This truck has sat for over 45 years. It will need everything. But what a neat vehicle to work with.
I travel around the West Coast with my truck and trailer and might be able to get it to you or close”
