UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

Lots of mods. Needs work.

“I have a 1946 Willy’s Jeep cj2a. This is a great start to an easy project.
-350 v8 motor that’s in running condition
-400 tranny that matches up to it it’s automatic
-body has no rust anywhere to be fond and minimal surface rust that I’m sanding away today.
-the rear axle is out of a yota to match up to the Chevy 350.
-air ride suspension is hooked up in the rear and in great shape.
-the tires are more roaster stlyle tires and they are near brand new.
-the brakes need worked on because they have very low pressure and don’t work well enough for road worthiness and a new fuel pump and fuel lines hooked up to be running driving and stopping as is. I’m going to be working on it periodically and as I do more work to it the price will increase.”

Day 35 – Saturday June 2nd: Following the Western Cattle Trail

<– Day 34 – Friday June 1st: The Route of Confusion | Day 36 – Sunday June 3rd: Leaving The Plains –>

2018-06-02-dodgecity-david-cowboy

Hanging out with a local in Dodge City. It seems I wore the right shirt today.

Day 35: We spent Saturday driving north from Clinton, Oklahoma, to Garden City, Kansas. Unbeknownst to us most of the day, we were roughly following (from Clinton to Dodge City) an old cow drive trail called the Great Western Cattle Trail. Our route:

2018-06-02-clinton-gardencity-map

On Saturday, we drove from Clinton, Oklahoma, to Garden City, Kansas.

Western Cattle Trail (and the other major trails):great-western-cattle-trail

We began the morning with one last Route 66 task: visit the Clinton Route 66 Museum. The outside of the building was cleverly done as a vintage-looking Route 66 motel:
2018-06-02-clinton-route66-museum01Inside the lobby, we found signs, a car, gas pumps, and other items.

2018-06-02-clinton-route66-museum0

To enter the museum portion, it costs $7. Once paid, visitors enter through a set of doors. Among the sights that greet visitors is this large map showing Route 66, along with some early history of road as it relates to Oklahoma. The museum claims that Oklahoma has more original road than any other state. That certainly seemed like a legitimate claim given the length of the road within Oklahoma..

1942 GPW Mason, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,500.

“My name is Chris Dyer and I’m a 20 yr retired Marine. Found this March 29, 1942 Ford GPW Jeep out on a ranch here in Mason,TX some 12 yrs ago. Bought and restored to a point with my son Nic. We use it for parades and funerals mostly. But as we are moving on in different directions now,figured it is time to sell. The frame and glove plates match. The engine block has a Sept 1944 replacement plate from the Army depot in Texarkanas. Has a standard canopy for it as well. Still has a couple of the “F” stamped bolts throughout and on other parts. Was converted to 12v before I got it. The Texas sun has faded the paint and seat covers. Believe the flywheel is missing a couple teeth but it normally starts right up. It is the real deal. Plate # 9428, one of the 1st 10,000 Ford Jeeps assembled. Worn hard, runs great. Few this old and still running. Here are some resent pic’s. Asking $24,500.00 obo (serious offers only).”

Day 34 – Friday June 1st: The Route of Confusion

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

<– Day 33 – Thursday May 31st: Getting Our Kicks on Route 66 | Day 35 – Saturday June 2nd: Following the Western Cattle Trail –>

2018-06-01-el-reno-route66

This Route 66 sign was just installed in El Reno a month ago.

Day 34: On Friday we drove from Clarmore, Oklahoma, to Clinton, Oklahoma.

2018-06-01-claremore-clinton-map

On Friday we drove from Claremore, Oklahoma, to Clinton, Oklahoma. Multiple times we hopped on Route 66, but it proved elusive at times as well.

We started out Friday hunting down the Will Rogers statue in downtown Claremore. It didn’t take long to find it. Having read two biographies about Will, one thing I learned is that he was an early day blogger, always traveling with a laptop typewriter and writing when he had a spare moment. I can relate. So, I thought I’d show him how we do a selfie. He was a natural.

In fact, between our glasses and the hardware in our laps, you can barely tell us apart … (Hint: I’m the one with the ball cap). I could tell right away he liked me. After all, he never met a man he didn’t like, or so he said once.

Thanks to Derek Redmond for sneaking up behind me and taking the photo of me.

Our next stop was the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, which is also in Claremore. On our way, we passed this mural. Below I show two of the three panes (the third has been hidden by a tree).

1948 CJ-2A Mesa, AZ **SOLD?**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE II: **SOLD**? Was No Price. Pics of the PTO equipment now included. It might have a Morrison plow https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ctd/d/1946-jeep-willys-with-pto/6600008043.html (thanks to Jeff for spotting that)

UPDATE (From April 15th): This CJ-2A is listed as a 1946 CJ-2A without a price, but it has a serial number plate of 18132(incorrectly riveted to the body) that suggests it is a 1948 model. Yet, what appears to be the same jeep is listed here and the ad claims it has a serial number of 193346, again listed without a price. Finally, it’s listed in a third ad for $19,777.

Seller claims to have 125 jeeps for sale, but I’m guessing most are newer jeeps.

“1946 willys Jeep call Matthew for all details we have 125 jeeps to choose from call (480) 628-9965 thank you.”
