Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.

1949 CJ-3A Colorado Springs, CO **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7500.
(11/08/2014) Looks like a fun rig.
“The previous owner told me this rig was custom built in the late 1960’s as a no-kidding Sand Dune racer.
It’s incredibly fast! It will hold 65 MPH up Vail Pass on I-70 while barely touching the gas. The v8 motor is very strong, but when you combine it with such a small / light vehicle, it’s just crazy. The motor fires right up and is very strong, doesn’t burn any oil.
I believe it is a reproduction CJ3A steel body and not original Willys. I do have a clear Colorado title in my name. The bottom of the “tophat” channels underneath the tub are rusted, but the actual tub pan itself is very clean, and the frame is clean and solid.
The paint job is probably 20 years old, so is faded but still looks okay. I can’t stop for gas or pull up to a stoplight without someone drooling over it or asking questions.
1950 Jeepster Hooks, TX $15,000
Looks solid.

1960 Wagon Puyallup, WA **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6500.
(09/20/2014) Looks like a nice wagon. Seller is having an ignition problem, but it does run. It may only be for sale through the weekend.
“ok so here’s the deal. I posting my wagon for sale through the weekend because quite frankly I’m frustrated. It has a 1970 ford 250 L6 with clifford headers and T90 3 speed with overdrive and twin stick transfer case that where both recently (less then a year ago) rebuilt. Just had all new leaf springs, shackels and shocks put on. I started having ignition problems a couple weeks ago and, not being terribly mechanically inclined, especially with electronics, I don’t want to deal with it right now. I just put in a new pertrnix electric points and flame thrower coil, all new plug wires and distributor cap. Until this it was my daily driver and is a blast to drive. It IS running right now but I don’t know that I would trust it to drive very far. it has some other non mechanical issues that are fairly simple, needs the speedometer/gauge cluster repaired or replaced, about a hundred bucks for a new replacement, the drivers door handles needs to be replaced, all the parts for which are easily available on E bay. It has some rust as would be expected on a car this old and it needs a U joint to put the front drive line back in. I was planning on replacing the pulley system windshield wipers(which has been converted to electric) to individual motors. I also have a bunch of random extra parts. Really, for someone with some mechanical skills this could be a damn nice rig fairly easily. get it before I change my mind…”
