“I am moving & selling my Willys M38A1 projects. There are 2 titles & enough parts to build 2 rigs & extra parts left over. 3 frames, extra axles, transmissions, transfer cases, fuel tanks, 3 windshields, seats, 2 roll bars, etc. One of the Willys is in the middle of being rebuilt & will roll around. It has tires on it & has been lifted & the frame has been boxed & it is set up with an adapter to put a small block Chevy in it. The body has been media blasted, but was never primered & has been stored outside for the past few years so it has surface rust on it. The other one is completely disassembled. Only selling because of the move”

Cleanest, rust free body (see pic of body’s rear) you will find? No rust on the windshield frame? Hmm.

“BARN FIND – 1960 Jeep Willys – military
w/ title

In door kept, this is one of the cleanest rust free original jeep bodies you will ever find.
This is a great find for restoration – you will be hard pressed to find one better.
Jeep is unmolested – most all original are here.
This is a usable body and frame, the windshield frame is perfect – no rust!
Has a tailgate which is also perfect – original.
Has the rare original under passenger seat utility cover.
Original Ford style jack.
Only flaw is the rear tailgate rail was carelessly pushed in at some point – this can be pulled out as there is still lots of metal here.
Stored in-doors 40 years. This old girl is EXACTLY what your looking for…

PA Titled!
Asking $3250.00”

“1951 Willys Pickup with original factory dump bed. California truck, no rust. 4 cylinder F head 134. Original tires and wheels 700-16. Winner at two local car shows for “best truck.” Mileage number reflects miles on the rebuilt engine. Engine was rebuilt about 30 years ago. Really nice shape for its age. I’ve got too many things with engines, too many projects and the Willys has got to go. Enjoy the pictures and give me a call if you’re interested. The truck is located in Yuba City, CA but I’m willing to consider delivering it to about anywhere. I’ve got a flatbed trailer and a 3500 Dodge so if you want it I can probably deliver it to you.”

The Clara Rose Ice Cream Truck

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

Florida’s Tampa Bay Times published an article about local mobile businesses a couple weeks ago. One of those businesses included a beautiful 1964 FJ-3A ice cream truck, run by Carlos Velez: The Clara Rose Ice Cream Truck.

Before he opened his business, Carlos worked as a Sheriff’s deputy at a maximum security jail. Wanting a change of life, he decided to open an ice cream business, but one that was of a better quality than the standard ice cream distributors. That led him to search for an FJ. He found the perfect one and it’s a beautiful rig as you can see below.

Learn more about his FJ in the article: https://www.tampabay.com/arts-entertainment/fun/shopping/2019/10/22/9-mobile-businesses-wheeling-around-tampa-bay/

Historic Registry For Vehicles?

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

There’s a proposal to create a national registry for unique or historically significant vehicles (and boats and planes) with documented stories. Importantly, such a registry would not keep the owners of such vehicles from being sold, driven or even modified. The Library of Congress would be the keeper of the documents, specs, photos, and other information.

If the national registry becomes a law, twenty-six vehicles already listed by the Historic Vehicle Association (HVA) would be the first vehicles added to the registry. Two of the vehicles are jeeps: The Ford Pygmy (currently at the U.S. Veteran’s Museum in Huntsville, Alabama) and Ronald Reagan’s 1962 CJ-6 (along with one of my personal favorites, the Tucker prototype).
