1950 Custom Jeep Project $1,800 Lakeland, FL

If you look at the article this took some time and work to build this one back in the day.

Looks like its mostly there and in the back of the rig and comes with an extra roller from what I can tell.

This could be a real neat unique project and sounds like you need to see the build.

Check out those NDT for 1976 this was awesome!

Custom Jeep Brooksville, FL $1000

Information from seller:

This Custom Jeep was built in Riverview in the 60’s. It has a body(looks like a Land Rover)that is very thick metal and was made for the woods. The engine is a stock Jeep F-head 134 CI that has been partially disassembled. Included in this sale is the 50’s Jeep chassis pictured with another compete drive train. Neither Jeep has a title. With some effort you can have a one of a kind woods /road machine. You could not come close to building this quality Hunting buggy for this money

From Hemmings:

“The Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum in Chicago announced that it is permanently closing its doors, also confirming that the entire collection of vintage and classic cars will go up for auction this September without reserve.”

There are a number of really cool cars being auctioned (e.g. “The Golden Sahara II“) but there are quite a few Jeeps that will be auctioned as well, including some quite rare models:

1966 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

1970 Jeep CJ-5 Renegade

1951 Willys Jeep Station Sedan

1955 Willys Jeep M38A

1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

1968 Jeep Wagoneer

1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster Convertible

1950 Willys-Overland Jeepster Convertible

1960 Willys Jeep DJ-3A Surrey Gala

1951 Jeep Willys CJ-3A

1947 Willys-Overland Jeep CJ-2A

1986 Jeep Wrangler Serial No. 1 SUV

1993 Jeep Wrangler Custom

1950 Willys Jeep Model 473 Pickup

1969 Kaiser Jeep J-3000 Gladiator Pickup

1985 Jeep CJ-10A Flightline Tug

1965 Jeep CJ-6A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

1955 Jeep CJ-5 Cutaway Chassis

All of these vehicles appear to be in top cosmetic condition, but (as with any museum vehicle) they will likely require some (possibly significant) work prior to being road worthy.

Or you could simply buy them all, and start your own Jeep Museum!

Here’s a link to the entire auction catalog if you’d like to browse the other cars and memorabilia being auctioned:

1964 Jeep Willys Surrey Gala $10,500 Lebanon, PA

If this is legit it looks like a cool find here. There are some really amazing 100pt restorations of these so I’m kind of in the camp of if legit do a preservation of sorts on this and enjoy it. I feel it would be hard to duplicate some of the 100pt restorations of these, they were just done to a super high level, even at 1100 units, I would drive it and enjoy it.

I also just drove through here yesterday, could have stopped in and took a look in person! Day late.

Information from seller:

1964 Willys Surrey Gala Jeep. This is a rare model. One of approximately 1,100 made. Unrestored body in very solid condition with original paint. Engine runs very strong. Shifts smoothly through the gears and has functioning brakes. Lights and horn work. Odometer reads 1,699. Includes top fabric. Great candidate for restoration or run as-is. Clean PA title in hand and delivery May be possible. Asking $10,500 obo.
