1945 JeepRod Temecula, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995

“1945 Willys CJ2A. First civilian modle after the war. The body and chassis are OEM. On the body the front fenders are cut to allow for steering and the rear wheel wells tubs are shortened to allow leg room. The body is channeled 5″. The windshield is stock on the bottom and about a foot removed from the top, the pivot glass works, and it’s plastic not glass.
The chassis is lengthened 18″ and a 75 pinto front suspension attached. The cross member is the original cut out of the donor car and welded in and all the rest is stock pinto.
The engine is a Ford 302, I think out of a 78 T-bird, unknown actual miles (I bought it used out of a 27 T sedan), Trans is a C4 with a shift kit. The rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 62 Galaxy.(it needs a posi to do good burnouts) It does have a burnout valve under the dash.
Steering column is a 63 Pontiac tilt. The brake pedal & master, shifter, parking brake are from the donor car. After market cruise control.
I’ve put 4300 miles on it and have fixed a few things as they showed up, mostly beefing thing up.
It weighs in at 2000 pounds, the engine is stock with dual fours (mostly for looks) home made zoomie headers and it runs very well. I’ve had it to 110 and ran out of cahonies not power. It also has a more conventional exhaust system if it should get ticketed, see pix.
There’s a lot of other small things about the car, to much to cover it all here. If you have questions please ask. If you want to see something specific I’ll send pix of what ever you want. I have pix of most all steps in the build.
This is a Traditional Hot Rod, aka: Rat Rod, no body work, no bondo, rust holes, chipped paint (what there is) and it’s all in flat black
600 miles is the longest road trip I’ve made, it gets about 16 mpg and no issues. Cruise control helps.”

1959 Jeep Rod Braddyville, IA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9600.

“You are looking at a one of a kind custom Rat Rod build with all new parts and done right. The truck has been in my family for years as a stock truck. After sitting in a shed covered for years it was time to pull it out and do something cool and different. The entire truck was stripped and all new parts were ordered. The cab roof was chopped 7″ and the main body was sectioned 4″ to give it a real low mean look. The top roof was removed and replaced with a flat hinged roor that can be opened up to 5” in the rear for air movement and looks. The bed was shortened 1.5′. The frame was built on a jig out of 3/16 2×4 tube “z’ed” front and rear to give the truck a bit over 8″ gound clearance. Listed below are the specs on the truck and I have pictures from the day the build began to the very end if you are interested. This truck was built as a rat rod with all new parts and it was built right. Please ask any questions you may have this thing is a head turner people stop me everytime I drive it! Thanks!

This is one nice wagon.

“a friend that started Fujimo in the mid 80’s passed away and i purchased it and finished it. it has had 4 engines a 283,350 ,400 and now a 383 stroker. it has a rack and pinion mustang 2 with disc brakes for a front end. 383 stroker motor connected to a 350 turbo with a 3200 stall converter. top has been chopped approx 4 inches and top of roof stands at apptox 67 inches. car was shown with great sucess in the early 90’s. fujimo was driven and not a trailer queen. he was retired in 1996 and placed in air conditioned storage.. he was taken out approx 5 months ago and sent to an old nascar mechanic in georgia. valves that had become noisy in storage were adjusted, transmission whose seals had dried out was completele rebuilt and cooling system was redoone including new larger radiator, new waterpump and electric cooling fan and larger fan blade was installed. clear coat had a couple of bubbles in it so fujimo was taken down to bear metal and new graphics and coat of yellow paint was applied, new carpet was also installed . old diamond pattern upholstory has a few minor stains but it was decided to leave it alone. considered installing an aftermarket SUV rack for the surfboard but decided against it. It would probably cost over one hundred thou to reproduce this vehicle. have invested over 15,000 since coming out of storage. I am 78 years old so it’s time for my old friend to go to a new home.”
