The Sumer 2020 Dispatcher Magazine arrived in my mailbox this weekend. Jim Allen’s feature article on the Jeepster Commando designs was particularly interesting. I knew there were a variety, but I didn’t know there were this many!

Feb 1958? Kaiser-Willys of Canada Ad
This ad came to me from eBay and has “KW 258” printed in the lower right, which I am interpreting as February 1958 (but I could be wrong). It is more of a “use your jeeps on the farm” type of ad, which Willys Motors seemed to be going away from in the US by this time.
Buick V6 225 near Asheville, NC
UPDATE: Mark found a second engine. He hopes this second one works!
Mark thought he’d found a Buick 225 V6 for his CJ-3B project, but he discovered the block has a bad cylinder. So, he’s looking for another complete engine, though even a good block will do.

“1946 cj2a jeep. Good condition.”
1948 CJ-2A New Madrid, MO $8000
Pics are a little dark. A 35,000lb winch? That’s either a misprint or a bit of overkill.

1946 CJ-2A Fayetteville, AR **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Looks solid. Not a perfect restoration, as it diverges from stock. Note the color of the pedals and shifters.
“1946 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is amazing. It had a frame-off restoration on it 7-8 years ago. The motor has been rebuilt. It has a new tub and hood and I have all of the receipts for the parts from the restoration as well as a service manual. It runs and drives great. Only has 24 miles on it since the restoration.”
4 Renegade CJ-5 Rims in Southern New Mexico $900

Wide Ratio T-18 w/ Dana 20 Adapter Madras, OR **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Marty spotted this combo.
“T18 transmission with wide radio/granny low. Includes adapter to Dana 20 transfer case. Bought it for my old Jeep but went a different direction. Never ran it, but it was reportedly rebuilt 30k mi ago. Probably at least needs a flush since it’s been sitting in my shop for 2 years now.
$500”
