1926 Willys-Overland Whippet $9,000 Etowah, TN

Not a Willys-Knight with a Sleeve Valve, but it might make a neat project. Been sitting.

I do feel its never a bad idea to have a convertible in the collection for those parade vehicles. So be it an open top Willys Jeep, or one of these with the Rumble Seat, what a wild ride this must have been back in 1926 to climb into the back!

I brought the box truck home last night, was the first time its a 2023 NPR 16′ Box 6.2 V8 Chevy Gasser very nice truck only 7300 miles. It was late past 8:30pm but the kids were excited when they heard the back up beeper the rig has, came in and they asked to go see and jumped up and got their socks and shoes, coats on and we went out in the dark and they jumped in and had a ball climbing up in it. So I can fully imagine that family who did the same with this rig and the joy it must have brought to that 8 and 6 year old siblings when Dad came home in this ride.

Information from seller:

1926 Willys Overland Whippet Roadster w Rumble Seat. Needs some tender loving care. Was restored but has been sitting in garage for 15 years.

1960 Hotchkiss M-201 Jeep

Update on the Hotchkiss M-201, I pulled this one down. I found the same rig and all the pictures on a UK FB post.

I was just talking to someone over email about the importance of the Photos and how they are invaluable to use for search to do basic cross references.

The story about the BAT rig that was posted as an MB, and it being an 1960 Hotchkiss, then this being a 1960 Hotchkiss, it was all too fishy for me at this time.

So doing some more digging I found the same email tied to a similar approach where the user grabbed a BAT photo of a high end Chevy 427 that sold in March, then reposted it on a site racetrade in Aug for like half, it sold on BAT for $50k reposted for $22k.

So this was almost the same exact approach on this ad.

I do try to vet the emails and users as best possible prior to posting, but this one got through and that sucks, but as soon as I figured it out it came down.

I have notified the other site of the suspected scam for the other race engine as well.

Thanks, Tim

M-416 Trailer $800 Augusta, NJ

M-416 Trailer $800 Augusta, NJ

I have one of these also, it pulls amazing easy, never hooked to a Willys don’t have the set up to pull on the Wagon.

Tailgate is cut which is normal at times on these to make them your own. When I got mine there was a place making reproduction back panels but not for the M416 right then, but I felt they replied there was a way to make them work.

I need to rebuild the suspension, looks like normal CJ bushings and the sort, maybe 9” Drums never measured them, but these have brakes and the sort, really useful trailers.

This shows the drop leg, brake handle, converted to a ball from pintle, but those are out there to go back to.

Information from seller:

Heavy duty jeep style trailer. Military look. 5 lug 7 x 16 tire. Multi leaf suspension spare tire. Has tailgate. 41” wide flares out to 49”. Long 72” pick up in Hampton township. DM for more details.

Wehrmacht Mechanics Captured Jeep

Wehrmacht Mechanics Captured Jeep

This is a pretty neat video Barry sent over about WWII Jeeps and the Mechanics. The WWII supply chain was pretty amazing and nothing quite like it has existed since then IMO. While we have a very amazing current Global supply chain, the overall approach and planning of how this all played out, looking back and learning more about it makes you really appreciate the sacrifices on all sides.

Information from email:

Evan sent me this video.  I have watched a few videos from this producer, and I like that they show their sources.  I think it starts a little slowly, but it certainly tells an interesting story about the Jeep’s influence in the post-war world.
