1951 CJ-3A Stephenville, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

The seller believes this was the original body, but it looks more like a repo body to me.  Also, there’s been a good deal of welding along the passenger front frame rail and along the underside of the driver’s side rail, which could indicate the original rails weren’t in good condition.  Also note the modified transmission undercarriage.

Ooops.  I guess I was tired last night!  After a few updates to ewillys, i went out for some Pho Noodle Soup, came back to my motel room (I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days) and planned to do more updates.  Instead, I closed my eyes for just a minute and … boom … I was out.  So, I’ll sneak in some more this morning.

Update from the Bantam Festival — Aug 12-14, 2011

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

I received an update from the Bantam Festival folks. Click on the banner to read about the updates. I still haven’t made the decision whether I”m going or not.  If I go, I’d like to spend another week or two in the NY area doing some family research, but that means I’ll be gone a month, so have to figure out the logistics to make that happen.

Updates will be late tonight

I made my way, through snow, sleet, and plenty of rain, to Seattle this evening.  So, if I get a chance to do updates, they’ll be pretty late.
