Joe-in-Mesa shared this oddly accentuated MB.

“A military Jeep with all the trimmings will make anyone take notice, but really, know why you’re stopping to check this one out. It’s hard not to get excited about driving the bedrock of freedom, especially when it’s this affordable.

The military Jeep was an international superstar, and this one demonstrates that perfectly. Wearing Royal Air Force (RAF) livery, it’s a reminder that the Jeep just didn’t help America win the WWII… it was an asset to all the Allied forces. So even Britain utilized the Jeep (their Range Rover was a post-war product.) This is the great Anglo-American blend where the iconic military Jeep’s nine-slot grille and camo paint meet that RAF badge and roundel. Plus, this one has all the great accessories to make it truly look like it can go anywhere. The jerry can, rear-mounted spare, spotlight, and side mounted shovel make this a great authentic showpiece for any event or parade. Continue reading →

1955 Wagon Parkway Seattle, WA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5950.

This could make a good project. This was spotted in the Detroit Craigslist, but there’s an explanation as to why that is.

“I’m listing this for a friend and to be clear, the vehicle is in Seattle, Wash., not Detroit. But it’s ready to ship. I have worked with my friend on the vehicle and I’ve driven it. It’s a running, driving project that needs paint and assembly. The best part is, it’s rust-free, so the approximately $1,000 you might spend on shipping it to Michigan would only be fraction of what you’d spend on rust repair on another vehicle.

It’s a somewhat rare ’55 Sedan Delivery model, aka Utility Delivery, with fixed windows and rear barn doors. It’s also a 2WD, with transverse front leaf springs.

1961 Wagon Southern Maine $3600

Craig shared this ad. It’s a project.

“Selling a 1961 Jeep Station wagon, I bought this as a project but hate to see it keep sitting and would like it to go to a good home. Does not run, and the engine will probably have to be gone through because it has sat for a few years. It comes with two spare straight 6 Hurricane motors (that do run) as I was planning on doing an engine swap and two spare transmissions with factory option pro (rare) if you want to do a winch set up. There are also new body panels and a tail gate assembly.

Transmission shifts well and the 4wd works. The glass is intact, seats are in fair condition, and the original headliner hasn’t sagged at all. Most of the electronics still work, needs a couple new bulbs, and it has the original factory option AM radio. There is the typical rust around the fender wells and along the drivers side and passenger side doors. I have a set of new rims I will include as well. Looking to get $3600 obro and would consider trades for a Land Rover or Triumph GT6.”

Unusual Hardtop from Uruguay

Hugo, our eWillys correspondent from Uruguay, filed this report. He spotted this strange jeep, possibly a CJ-3A, with an unusual hardtop. He would have taken more pics, but its proximity behind the US embassy made snapping photos a little uncomfortable. So, he was in and out quickly!

I shared the photos with Fernando Vidal. He wrote back, “Actually, you can see ANY of weird adapting on vehicles in Uruguay… Uruguayans are customization specialists! Everyday on the roads and streets of Montevideo we use to spot many strange things on wheels of every kind. Uruguay never produced cars or trucks, which have always been imported as an expensive commodity, and its replacement parts were usually hard to find. The long term result is that they were used to the maximum (it’s common to find vehicles from the 40`s and 50`s being used as daily drivers). Creativity led to some horrendous (sometimes really funny) “frankensteins”, of vehicles from different decades stitched together on the most bizarre ways… “

Not sure about the price, but an interesting item. I thought there was also a  listing for this that included the box, but now I can’t find it.

“Ultra rare assembled vintage MAK-A-CAR aluminum Jeep model kit in great condition for its age. Info is scarce on these, but found a site which indicated these kits were produced in the 40s. The first image below is of the box, found on google images. NOTE: The Jeep in this listing does not include the box.”

1943 Photo of Jeep Next to Plane on eBay

The caption of this one is interesting. It reads “Two kinds of jeeps”, a reminder that both planes and jeeps were called jeeps. Of course, the command car was called a jeep by some in the Army, further complicating the history of the name.

“News Agency 1st Generation AKA Original Press Photo Size: 6.75×8.67 inches (paper size) with some minor variation”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

This could be a nice rig for the price.

“This is a great running 1946 Jeep Willys. Body is in great shape with very minimal rustish spots. Comes with the soft top in the pictures. Converted to 12v, new starter, new break master cylinder and I am currently changing out the fuel tank to finish with the must does to sell it at this price. Please keep in mind that this is a 46 so it is going to take some tinkering with from time to time. Looking for someone that is wanting a fun collectors item. This is something that I do not have to get rid of so i need to get pretty close to this price.”
