UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.

“Don’t laugh. This is a great parts Jeep. Frame;vin plate/Maryland title in my name; both axles; 4 rims; windshield frame & wiper motors/mirror arm; rear hitch; side mounted gas can holder; transmission/transfer case/bellhousing with all shift levers; grille with headlight buckets and trim chrome rings; steering wheel with complete column; frt seat frames (feet need some minor work); rear driveshaft; shocks w/special washers; various body panels could be used as replacement parts; footman loops; and etc.

The body panel laying in the back does-not go with this Jeep. I figured up over $2000 in parts, if parted out. I’m just tired of moving it from place to place. Its time someone else enjoyed it or used it for parts. BE PREPARED TO TRAILER IT HOME!”

UPDATE  I’m not shocked that this is still available

(08/20/2010) This poor jeep.  I’m pretty sure this is a CJ-3A rather than a 1945 military jeep.

“here is a 1945 willys military jeep that was titled in 1951. back then military jeeps didn’t have titles. If you bought one back then it could be titled when registered. It does not run anymore ( motor is stuck ). The body is rusted bad but it has the original drivetrain . 500.00 obo”

This poor jeep. I don’t see much salvageable.

The Swamp Rat

After seeing Chad’s build yesterday, Gerald sent me pics of the ‘Swamp Rat’, which also sports a flathead V8.  Of course, it’s got a bit more wear and tear on it than Chad’s, but i have to say I really like the way that fits in the engine compartment. This sure has an old school feel to it.

Gerald notes, “Check out Johnny’s wood cab and side pipes.  The paint chipped off the windshield, but it used to say RAT.  It’s a star attraction at one of our local yards.”

Last Ride: Gerald’s Great Idea

Gerald sent some really sad pics to me with an idea … let’s create a “Last Ride” category. We’ve all seen one or more of these jeeps:  Something so rusty, so damaged, so modified, so mortifying that the grass is holding it up.

So, I’ll put up two posts tonight (courtesy of Gerald).  If you have some pics, see some pics, or save some pics, send them my direction and we’ll add them to.

Gerald writes, We bought this about 10 years ago and finally decided to pull it from the weeds.  We needed the rear axle.  The frame collapsed as I stood in the rotten drivers compartment to steer the wheels while being pulled by the tractor.  It was truely it’s last ride.  We will pick it over and save some stuff. Check out the shackle lift.

Gerald writes, Here is a 1970’s Canadian version of a M715.  These fell of a flatbed truck and sat for years until I got them.  They were a waste of time, but could not resist.
