Dexter forwarded this odd Craigslist ad. I’m not sure why the seller doesn’t sell the coins and then go buy a jeep.

“IF YOU ARE SELLING YOUR JEEP/WILLYS FOR $3000 TO $6500 PLEASE READ ON.
I have 9 gold coins from 1850s to early 1900s, they weigh 4.44 OZ,Nice to have in an emergency, you can always use gold to barter during war or apocalipse, but the value is in their collect-ability, the st gaudens ,liberty, and indian head coins are very beautiful I want to trade for a willys or cj5 jeep must be 1975 or older and have a 6 or 8 cylinder engine, no 4cyl please, will consider all , trade all or some coins for your jeep, will travel to you if serious, please send me pics of what you have, and we can make this happen without waiting.
These coins where in a safety deposit box and when my parents died the bank denied the existence of a sefety deposit box for 10 years, I finally saw a box drill out notice on the state controller wed site, they still charged me the drill charge and 10 years storage fees !! where bought for me by parents in the 1960s and I was planning on giving them to my kids, but since I have not been fortunate enough to have children I want to sell or trade them for something I can enjoy, these coins will continue to go up in price AND they are real works of art to look at..
Email me for a quick response or leave phone number and I will call you back asap. thanks.”

Ron forwarded this ad. Gary is looking for booklets, information, and spare parts for FJs.

“I am interested in buying information on Jeep FleetVans both FJ3 postal van and FJ3-A Commercial van.  Highway Products Company in Kent Ohio built and assembled the bodies for Jeep for the Post Office Delivery “FleetVans” from 1960-1966 +-
If you or a family member worked there and have any pictures, history, parts, blueprints, records from that time; please get in touch with me. I will be glad to buy originals or copies. The history on this vehicle is sparse; I’d like to improve that.
Also I am interested in buying parts or complete vehicles.”

I ran across this article about Ernie Pyle and his experience in Paris in 1944. I’ve posted it below. The photo is from Paris, but not of Ernie Pyle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was auctioned.

You can bid online. It is listed as a 1942, but clearly is a CJ-2A.

The web server was down last night, so I didn’t get a chance to finish updates. They should all be up by noon EST / 9am PST and this message will disappear. Thanks!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Appears to run. Seller thinks this is an MB.

“1951 (MB) 451G Willy’s Jeep. 225 V6 with 4 speed, needs to be restored from the ground up. Comes with hard top and doors.”

Surprisingly original for a Tacoma area jeep.
