“2 1948 cj2as, one f head one L head. F head is seized, been soaking for a month or so. L head turns over. One body is in great shape for the build the other is for parts. Have PTO winch. Original wheels and tires. One has already been modified from the 6 to the 12 volt system. A radiator, carburetor and time is all I’m short on. Wife wrecked her car so we need cash to go towards that. Asking 3500 will entertain any serious offers”

“Ultra Rare 1960 Willys Jeep FC150 foward control – the shorter one – clear signed notarized Arizona title. From Arizona, was acquired from an estate last on road in 1992. Original drivetrain is complete. Front windshield is cracked in lower passenger side area about 6″ long,,drivers and passenger roll up windows are cracked, the Jeep had a son roof in it and that glass is missing which is why the floor boards and cab corners are rusty, water and leaves got in and sat inside for a long time. Otherwise very complete original vehicle, will need restoration or customization.
Has been in AZ its entire life, see photos for condition, will need metal work on both floor pans, cab corners, and probably to fill in that sun roof opening. Way back in the day it had black shag carpet glued on the dash, doors, and basically all over the inside of the cab, the glue had long since dried out and it all peeled off in pieces, thats why the interior metal looks like it does, mix of dried out glue and black carpet backing. This would all save off easily by hand no sweat. Has decent roller tires and steel wheels, rolls and turns easily. It is what it is, good builder rare Jeep to either restore or turn into a full custom on a modern Jeep chassis or with upgraded drivetrain. ”
This is all for today (well this and the two videos below). We are still out camping.
These toy jeeps were part of the Seventh War Loan drive. Given the date this was published (July 19, 1945), could these have been the early Al-Toy jeeps?
And, here’s a video highlighting the Seventh War Loan Drive (that includes the Iwo Jima sculpture unveiling).
Panama City, Florida’s, News Herald featured this video and story about Alan Hassell’s M-38A1.

They aren’t jeeps, but these rigs surf the Silver Lake sand dunes with passengers, and have been doing so since 1930. I’ve included some post cards of older dune tour vehicles below. To see all pics, or to schedule your next dune ride, check out Mac Wood’s Dune Rides here.
This article takes some liberties with jeep history.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,000.
The wagon appears in good shape. Fredricks Outdoor still operates. The speedometer has been updated (and the large speedo is incorrect for a 1954).
