1970s AMC/JEEP Parts Catalog **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown**

Lots of information on CJs and FJs in this catalog.

“This is a extremely rare American Motors Jeep dealership parts book BINDER.
It is what sat at the corner of AMC dealerships parts counters. This one is
exceptional. You will NOT see another for sale. roughly 12 pounds & over
2000 pages. Covers mostly 1962 thru 1973 Jeep. No AMX, Matador, Javelin,
JUST JEEPS. Issue date 1972. Take a look at many of the factory
illustrations. All Group Numbers. All Part Numbers. All Series! Alphabetical
index. From Group 1 Engines to Group 31 Pick Up boxes & Stake body it is all
here. I do not specialize in Jeep Series (AMX & Javelin 1968-74 for 30
years) this was part of a AMC Dealership buyout. I had other later model
ones, those sold for $250-$400 a book and it is my understanding they will
be put on CD/DVD. I would expect buyer to put this book on CD/DVD (Adobe
format) also and it will pay for itself 100X over such as my 1967-72 AMC
CD/DVD item 251345562373 has, as have sold over 500 of them. You WILL be the
ONLY person with this rare book & uber rare factory binder to boot. I have
had only a handful of AMC dealership binders in stock from dealer buyouts
in 30 years in business, but NEVER had a Jeep 1962 thru 1973 type like this.
It will be sent to high bidder with mandatory signature confirmation in US.
Good luck!”

Steve’s Willys Weather Block

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Steve’s got his ‘weather block’ prepared for winter!

“With the days getting shorter, and the weather patterns starting to change, it’s time to set up my Weather Block. As you can tell, this photo was taken on a cloudy day. Here are the instructions I place in my kitchen so when I look out the window I will know how to interpret my weather block. What else do you do with an old Willys engine?

Dry Block – Fair weather
Shadow under Block – Sunny
No Shadow under Block – Cloudy
Wet Block – Rainy
Invisible block – Foggy
Swaying Block – Windy
Horizontal Block – Wind Storm
White block – Snowy
Bouncing Block – Earthquake
Water Flowing Around Block – Flood
Flashing Block – Thunder Storm
Missing Block – Tornado

My Weather Block even tells you the season:
Hot Block – Summer
Leaf Covered Block – Autumn
Cold Block – Winter
Grass Growing on Block – Spring
