This is most likely a CJ-2A. It is being sold for parts. I’m not sure what hardtop this has. The auction occurs Saturday October 10 in Mitchell, Indiana.

No Updates Wednesday. Updates Resume Thursday morning.

Taking the day off. Regular updates return Friday.

I bought a 46″ heavy duty Husky tool chest a few days ago. That innocent purchase led to the complete rearrangement of my mother-in-laws garage, but out of the deal she asked that I combine her tools with mine (another sign that she knows she doesn’t have too long left). So, yesterday I drove to my parents to get a set of industrial shelving, but then detoured to Moses Lake … so, I was too busy playing to do updates for this morning. Updates will resume Sunday.

Next week I’m breaking my quarantine and heading down to visit my kids in Salt Lake. My oldest just bought his first house, so I’m bringing him a variety of tools. So, updates may be sparse over Labor Day Weekend.

Have a good weekend!

Joel shared this late 1940s ad from the Maine Willys Sales Company of Augusta, Maine. Note the Willys Sign in the background with the early “J” logo. It appears that Maine’s State Foresty Department was an early enthusiast of the new jeep trucks. I was unable to locate the this ad using newspapers.com, so cannot date it at this time.

No updates Tuesday. Updates will resume Wednesday.

Needs work.

“1949 Jeep CJ3A, 350 which needs to be put backtogether, has transmission as well. Great project.”

Pics are a little dark. A 35,000lb winch? That’s either a misprint or a bit of overkill.

“complete off frame restored, all new parts used, up-dated with power steering, new top (best top), new seats- plus, new over size tires mounted on new over size chrome wheels, 35,000 lb wench, has draw bar for towing, same body type as war jeeps.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

Looks solid. Not a perfect restoration, as it diverges from stock. Note the color of the pedals and shifters.

“1946 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is amazing. It had a frame-off restoration on it 7-8 years ago. The motor has been rebuilt. It has a new tub and hood and I have all of the receipts for the parts from the restoration as well as a service manual. It runs and drives great. Only has 24 miles on it since the restoration.”
