The Snow Cone FJ
Here is a crazy Snow Cone FJ. I spotted these pictures the other day while looking for the swiss army CJ-5. Steve must have spotted this crazy thing too, because he found the video below.

Marx Jumpin Jeep **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.
” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”
Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.

1951 M-38 Southern California eBay
This isn’t stock, but appears to be a solid rig.
“This is a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep. Originally built for the US Military, it was sold as surplus in 1963, still unused in its wooden crate.It was bought by a family who converted it back then, to a GM V6 Fireball engine, free wheeling front hubs, and GM truck front brakes. It was used by this family for the next 46 years as a hunting vehicle. I bought it 3 years ago with 7,500 miles on the clock, which may or may not be accurate. I have added 2,000 miles since then.
I have had the vehicle completely restored during the 3 years, and just about everything has been either renovated, replaced or repaired. EVERYTHING! I use it as my local daily driver, and it has always been a hoot to drive, with about 160 hp instead of 65 hp. Everything works perfectly. It has a complete all weather Beechwood cover as well. It also has a towing bar.
It has been welcomed in all the 4th July parades and gets more attention at car gatherings than Ferraris’!
It is not 100% original, but it does look the part, and everyone smiles when they see it. You can even invade small countries at the weekend with it.
There is a reserve on it, equal to about what I have invested in it during my ownership, but I will not disclose this, so please do not ask.
Obviously there is no warranty, implied or otherwise, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.”

1966 CJ-5 Norman, Ok **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500
Doug spotted this nicely rebuilt jeep.
“1966 CJ5. Jeep Kaiser/ Willys frame off restoration great shape. I just don’t drive it. In 1966 they did all the best things to the Jeeps. Because the old flat head was so weak Jeep added the Buick Dauntless V6. Tons of power and able to handle any road. The tires have less than 100 miles on them. If your are into classic jeeps this is the one for you!”
