1951 CJ-3A Deadwood, SD **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was on eBay

There’s some value here, though plenty of work left too.

“This Willys CJ3A has not been ran for about 7yrs but was supposedly running when last parked. (it is froze up now-dosnt have a breather so maybe moisture has gotten in). It has very little paint but also very few rust HOLES.(mainly below right door and on the floor by right door). I bought this jeep from my cousin and due to all its PATINA I was planning to make a RAT ROD out of it but recently came up with a couple of medical issues. He cannot find the title but we can get a LOST TITLE very easily if desired. The frame is not rusted out any where that I could find. Springs and suspension seem OK. The cab (mfg by Koeng Iron Works of Houston) has lots of surface rust but is actually in pretty good shape. The doors have crank down windows (not sure of there condition as I didnt try to operate them). The winch has been removed. All gages look to be good shape and was supposed to be operating with the excepion of the gas gage. the emergency brake seems to work. The tranny and transfer case lock up in all gears and the differentials roll freely with the wheels jacked up. The right window has a crack at the bottom. Window rubber looks reusable. The seat frames and springs are there but the padding is gone. The box is dented but not rusted thru. The radiator, fan and shroud look to be in good condition. (I have another that I KNOW is in good shape). The engine has a magneto on it which the previous owner (my cousin) was put on to make better starting in the winter (it was used for snow plowing at their ranch and never ran in the summer), The original distributor is included. Also I have a power-take-off which is in great condition that I will include. Can provide more photos if desired and can possibly deliver for fuel costs.”

The Three Bantams: BRC, BRC-60 and BRC-40

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

I guess I should have posted this at the beginning of the Festival, but I was pleasantly distracted all weekend. So, here is a post about the three Bantam generations. As the oral testimony shared by Gerald affirms, there were three different models of vehicles built by Bantam.  Here is more history about the Bantam vehicles.

The Original Bantam: Below are images of the original Bantam Bantam Reconnaissance Car. Here are some images from Life Magazine from Camp Holabird.  Here is a video of Duncan’s well done original BRC Replica (which also includes a BRC-40).


The Bantam BRC-60: This is the 2nd generation BRC-60.  The easiest way to identify the differences between the BRC and the BRC-60 is to look at the fenders, note the Original BRC fenders are round, and the entry point, which is a smoother slope on the BRC-40 as opposed to the bump in the original BRC.


The Bantam BRC-40: This is the 3rd generation BRC-40.  The easiest way to identify the difference between the BRC-60 and the BRC-40 is the grille.  Note how flat the grille is compared to the rounded grille of the BRC-60. The windshield is dramatically different, as the BRC-40’s appears much stronger.  Of course, there are other differences, but those are a quick way to distinguish between the two. Here is a BRC-40 that was for sale.

I guess I shouldn’t forget the Bantam ‘Checker’: Learn more about this at Bill Spear’s website.

Finally, just to show there seems to be an exception to every rule, Gerald forwarded this image.  I believe the front of this is a Bantam BRC-60, but the door area resembles the original Bantam.  The windshield has a higher ‘bridge’ across the bottom; which doesn’t resemble either the BRC or the BRC-60 in the pics above.   I believe this was a Russian Lend/Lease vehicle, but perhaps someone else could be more specific about it.
