The seller notes this is one of a kind, despite not knowing what type of toy this is. This looks like a cross between a troop MB/GPW carrier and a CJ-3B. Anyone recognize it?

Walter spotted this. I wonder if this was really a Navy Shore Patrol Jeep or whether it was made to look like that later. It looks solid though.

1942 MB Shirley, MA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

Runs, but needs brakes fixed.  No title.

“I’ve got a 1942/43 willy’s mb jeep. It’s got a 1942 “wilson foundry” gpw engine built in late 1942. These engines are worth at least $1500 on there own. The body number is early 1943. After researching things, alot of jeeps built in 42 were put together with whatever parts they had around. They’re called “salad” jeeps as they just tossed them together. The jeep does not have a title, just a bill of sale which is what it will be sold with. Engine runs great, and clutch, transmission, transfer case and such work good. It needs brake work.(master cylinder and wheel cylinders) to be driveable. It’s a really cool jeep, and a neat piece of history. Wish I had the time and money to complete this project, but I don’t so on to someone who can. E-mail me with any questions. Thanks, Mark”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800

It runs, but needs some work. The rille looks ’46. The crossmember looks updated.

“I am selling a 1947 Willys Jeep 1948 CJ2A for $2800. The Jeep runs but needs a few items to be road worthy. The water pump needs replaced, I have the parts just have not installed. The brake system needs some work. I have about all the parts that it needs except shocks to get up and running. I have multiple fenders, hood, new windshield, new tires, and to many other parts to mention. I traded for this vehicle from a friend but have not had the time to do anything to it, too many other projects.”

Craig’s Pic of the Week: Unusual Jeep Train

For his Pic of the Week, Craig forwarded this unusual train built on a jeep platform that was featured in a 1964 issue of Jeep News.

I found an example of the above train-jeep being used at Africa, USA, though the details were slightly different.  These pictures come from cardcow.com.

I’m wondering if this jeep train out of St. Augustine, FL, isn’t a custom version of the above platform.  You can see the older St. Augustine Jeep Trains here.
