Coker Group sold to Wade Kawasaki

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

Colin shared the news that the Coker Group (makers of vintage tires) has been sold to the Wade Kawasaki/Capital Investment group partnership. Coker has been run by Wade Kawasaki for last five years. Under him, the company has seen five years of consecutive growth, so I’d expect to see the company continue in its current form.

“For sale extremely rare condition 1966 Soviet Military SUV – GAZ-69A / UAZ-69A Comandor car
This legendary Soviet army off road vehicle very actively used in Vietnamese war, Arab-Israel wars, in African wars, etc.

This Jeeps were used in armies of East Germany, Romania, Albania, Czechoslovakia, China, North Korea, and more, and more… And they were in civilian using too.
I read, GAZ-69s were supplied in 56 countries (according to official data)
This well-maintained piece of of Iron Curtain military history, one that should run and serve as a great conversation starter.

1956 DJ-3A West Haven, CT eBay

• CATEGORIES: DJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Back on eBay. Starting bid is $1300

View all the information on eBay

“First year Dj3 in outstanding original condition. Jeep currently runs and idles very well. Jeep does have its cosmetic issues and some rot here and there as evident in the photos. The Fuel tank and lines will need cleaning and possible internal coating of tank (I have it running on a test tank). Motor runs very well with no signs of issues. Radiator holds and cycles coolant. Brakes will need attention.

The body is very solid. The original fiberglass top is in great shape.

Very close inspection after much insight given by those whom have DJ-3A`s of their own has revealed that the frame is most likely that of a CJ-2A.  From information given to me and very careful cleaning of the upper frame area located in front of the body gusset on the right side of the jeep….there is no number stamped in the frame that I can see to denote it is a matched frame and body..”

“Just for heck of it I’m listing my 1952 Willys CJ3A Jeep for trade consideration. The price is basically a “ballpark value” measuring tool. I’m just listing for trade vehicles I may want more than my Jeep, NOT because I need to sell or don’t like my Jeep. It is getting harder to drive as I’m getting older and would like a toy (JEEP ) that’s easier to drive, which will make sense if you read my trade list below.

Stats:
UPDATE: just installed rear fender flares.

Rebuilt 1979 Pontiac 2.5 Iron Duke 4 cylinder with a little over 30,000 on it.
Rebuilt T14 3 spd
Overhauled D18 transfer case with rebuilt Warn overdrive.
Original front/ rear differentuals with 5.38 gear ratio.
Rebuilt Saginaw manual steering.
11 inch drum brakes.
Have new master cylinder to be installed (old one works, seeps a little)
Warn locking hubs.
