Marx Jumpin Jeep **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.

” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”

Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.

GPA Model Plans at Etsy $8

This looks cool.

“These model car plans were taken from a book printed in the 1950s. Great for framing and numerous paper crafts. The plans are original and in good vintage condition. The image measures 5.5″ x 8″ and would look good in a 5″ x 7″ mat or frame. I’ll always include a gift in your order, (always vintage, of course) because presents make me happy.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $3995

(01/11/2012) I haven’t seen many of these on Craigslist.

“Up for sale today is a mini Willys WW2 Jeep.

Military vehicle fans, this is a must have for your kids at rallys and shows!
This gas powered replica is made by Junior Replicas (A branch of the FAO Schwartz) and features a fold flat windshield, full suspension, brakes, electric start, working headlights, strobe lights, mini NDT tires (just like the real thing!) 5hp Honda engine, and a forward / reverse transmission. This sweet little Jeep even has a variable speed limiter to keep the top speed of the vehicle contained for younger drivers and adjust it as they grow. The safety shift lever prevents breakage of the gears and keyways so inexperienced drivers do not damage the engine or transmission components. It is also equipped with a brake pedal on the passenger side so Daddy can stop them before they run over the neighborhood cat!
The replica is 2/3 scale of the real thing, it is exact from to the pioneer tool kit to the mini spare fuel can on the back. It even has the Army lettering and the correct color and shade of paint!
Power Wheels and other ride-ons can’t compare to the safety of this steel and fiberglass quality built machine. Don’t make them wait 6 hours for it to charge back up! Get them this gas powered play machine for hours of war games in the back yard! Your kid will be the talk of the neighborhood.
If you are an MV fan or off road enthusiast than start your kids early, get them the Mini Willys ride on Army Jeep Replica!!

Here is a video showing the jeep in action and the size compared to a ‘real’ Willys!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66Av3KyQ8sk&feature=related

These replicas went for up to $10,000 new.
This one is in excellent (near perfect) condition.
$3995
E-mail the link above if you have any questions or would like to set up a time to see it.”

CJ-5 Surrey

Speaking of unique Surreys, Mike wrote the following Comment:

“Back in 1962, One of my dad’s favorite hangouts, Lee’s tavern on Crooks Ave. in Clifton, NJ bought a special order CJ5 with a pink surrey fringe top and matching upholstery. It was the talk of the town. This Jeep was a double twist on the phrase “special order”. It was a first generation Tuxedo Park model with the featured color scheme of white body with red grille and red wheels, along with the surrey top and seat covers which were installed over stock upholstery at the factory. The local legend story at the time was; He had to wait 6 months for delivery.”

So, I spent some time searching for a CJ-5 Surrey picture. I didn’t find any real ones, but I did find one toy:  A CJ-5 toy from 1960.
