Searching For APUs

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

Tom Sterndale has been building a database of existing APUs, a challenging task given how little they’ve been documented. As part of his effort, he hoped to identify these jeeps which were once listed on eBay.

Tom writes, “Help me prove that ebay is not a black hole out there some were sucking up all the Szekely APU’S.

  1. The four pictures of the four wheeled APU is a NC/5 Szekely used by the Navy up until the 70’s. Was on Ebay in 2010 would like to know were it is now.
  2. The pictures of the Tricycle APU’S are NC/1 Szekely’s they were on ebay in 2003 or 2006 I would also like to find   them or others like them.
  3. Both the  NC/5 and the NC/1 used Willys Jeep as a base.I have found some APU’S like the red and blue ones they all seam to be NA/3 Szekely built for the Air Force. I

I am trying to keep a data base of all units that I can find any body with a Szekely of any type I would like to be put in contact with them.”

Tim’s Report From Puerto Rico

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

I received a report from Tim on his search for Willys during a trip with his wife in Puerto Rico. Coincidently, on the same day, I received an email from Angel in Puerto Rico who was searching for some fenders for a truck restoration (I was able to locate fiberglass and metal ones for him).

Tim writes, “We got away from the cold and spent a few days in Puerto Rico.  As mentioned before we try to rent a Jeep when we travel. But the Jeep fun factor was way too much this trip.  We settled for a little red car for $9 /day verses the $90/day for Jeep Wrangler.  We kept our eyes open but did not see any Willys this trip.  

We did find several new 2016 Jeeps at Fort Buchanan post exchange as part of the Military Overseas Car Program.  Service members can order new cars through this program and  have them shipped to their home state side. Program offers military discounts and special orders. Here is Cathy with a 2017 Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary editon.  Later that day we saw an interesting display at a local Jeep dealer, the sign Gran Venta  means   Big Sale. They had 3 new Jeeps  suspended from a crane.”

1946 CJ-2A Mandarin, FL $9,500

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $9,500.

(10/09/2016) It’s supposed to be mechanically strong.

“Only two previous owners. Nice example of unmolested Willys survivor. One paint job since new. Garaged most of it’s life. Frame horns excellent. Less than 1000 miles on new engine. Nearly $5000 recently spent on brakes, steering, transmission and axle seals, and other wear items. Have receipts. A reliable drive anywhere trouble free Willys. ”
