I did a double take on this price. The truck runs and has a dump bed. Has rust, too.

M-38 Cab Enclosure Hardtop Delanson, NY $350

May be worth a look.

https://albany.craigslist.org/pts/d/quaker-street-willys-m38-arctic-cover/6923924763.html

“This is a complete arctic cover for the Willys M38 Jeep. Other than dirty and a bit dusty, it is all there. The top has no dents or dings, doors are complete as are side panels and rear panel. New glass needed for one of the rear panels. Windshield glass frame is corroded. Here is a chance to get the complete package. These are getting harder to come by, especially when fully complete and original.”

1946 VEC CJ-2A Kittery, ME $9995

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

This early CJ-2A has been refurbed. Has had some body work done, as the drain holes are missing. The windshield is an M-38 or replacement windshield, not a CJ-3A.

https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/d/eliot-1946-willys-jeep-cj2a/6956739691.html

1946-cj2a-me

Nice restored 2A, serial number 18567 which means it was manufactured in Feb, 1946 making it a VEC or Very Early Civilian jeep made up of mostly left over parts from the MB. Has side indents on drivers side for shovel and ax. Go Devil engine runs well, transmission shifts nicely, all new brake lines, brake cylinders, shoes and master cylinder. New oil pan gasket. Oil changed and new filter. New hoses. All new gauges with exception of speedo which is original (as far as i can tell). New battery. Converted over to 12 volt. New fuel sender and fuel gauge. Lights work, including brake lights. Windshield is not correct as it is off of 1951 CJ3A. You can buy correct windshield frame for $500 and glass is another $100 to be period correct. Four wheel drive works. Exhaust is good. Tires are old but for a vehicle that tops out at 40 mph, they are fine. It is registered and drives nicely down the road. No title as is the case with most of these old WW2 era vehicles. Call 207 three 5 one, 32 hundred. No trades, agents and only cash please.”

Day 15 Aug 16: The Sun Has Set On Newfoundland 2019

<–  Day 14 Aug 15: Beach Bums | The Sun Has Set on Newfoundland 2019

2019-08-16-leaving-pei2

Early Friday morning, the Newfoundland 2019 crew disbanded. I believe Joe left first; he’s headed back to Maryland to reunite with Emily and their son. The Ogles and Ingrums departed soon after Joe; they are headed back to the Paris of Illinois. Jim, Kevin and Bill left a little later.

Exiting the island didn’t quite go smoothly for Jim and Kevin, as they succumbed to a clogged fuel filter. But, forty-five minutes later, they were back on the road.

I’d guess everyone is still a couple days from arriving at home. If there are any additional reports, I’ll share them. Otherwise, Newfoundland 2019 is a wrap.

Thanks to everyone who met up with the Newfoundland crew, provided local advice, and followed along the journey. I know the crew really enjoyed meeting you all and, as Cowboy said in one of his Facebook comments, it renews faith in people as you meet folks from all walks of life. From my perspective, being able to meet people on our trips always makes traveling so much more satisfying.

Finally, many thanks to Bill for spearheading this trip. I wish more of his fellow Alaska Or Rusters could have joined, but if not in body and jeep, we were there in spirit, following along with each photo you sent and each tale you spun. I believe we all agree that there will be another grand journey together at some point and we have a couple ideas percolating.

Customized MB/GPW(?) in Rock Island, IL, Photo

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

This photo appeared on Facebook. It was taken south of downtown Chicago. The flattie has been updated quite a bit. Given the rear hubs and the general mods (like the front fenders), I’d say the is likely an MB or GPW. The front of this has a plow.
