Gary Holbrook, a long time member of the Jolly Jeepers of the PNW4WDA, shared this video. Not only does he show off his fascinating build, but he also discusses one of his club’s annual summer Back to Basics Rally in Oregon.
Mark just posted this custom truck over at sellajeep.com.

Just finished it and am installing carpet and shift lever boots. Things change and sometimes not for the better. Needing to sell as soon as possible, all reasonable offers seriously considered. Have no time in which to use/play with it and need the money for housing. Currently have it in Carpinteria Calif. but is registered in Washington.
Play with finishing it out to your satisfaction or use it the way it is, completely roadworthy… Seat belts even…
Have complete list of all parts Mfg. & model/serial numbers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Dan shared this ad. This would save someone some restoration time.
“56 Willys Jeep pick-up bed. You arrange pick-up or shipping.”
Steve spotted this truck that will require a machete (or more) to extract.

Bill spotted this free windshield.
“Please call me if you need a makeshift windshield. See pictures. It appears to have been shortened a bit, say two inches. I’m changing it out with a new one. It works but probably not with a rag-top fit. I think it will work fine with someone who doesn’t use a top.
You can tell it was cut off at the old pivot points and re drilld for new bolt holes and pivot points/attachment points.
You can have it if you pay shipping. It will be an excellent replacement for one that got crushed by a roll over. You can see on the photo where the two inch long bolts stick up and hold the latches.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8950.
Looks in good shape.
“This is an original, unrestored, and unmolested station wagon which was first purchased in Pueblo, CO and spent the majority of its life there. The PO brought it to Texas before selling it. The wagon still sports its original Peacock Blue color. Though worn, it still retains the matching interior seats, headliner, and door panels. Only the front seat has been reupholstered.
The engine is the then optional Super Hurricane straight six cylinder that is coupled to a manual three speed, two speed transfer case with manual locking Warn front hubs.
Updates include new brakes, wheel cylinders, and flexible hoses all around, plus a new master cylinder. The carburetor, starter, and steering gear box have been rebuilt. There are new tie rod ends and the steering drag link refurbished. The Warn hubs have been serviced to include new o-rings and gaskets. Additionally, there is a new gas tank, new fuel pump, new spark plugs, and a new factory correct wiring harness. The oil and oil filter have been changed as well as flushing the radiator and replacing the anti-freeze.
There are two small through rust holes — one on the right and one on left side fenders. Also, there are some small holes in the tailgate where it appears someone tried to pull out a dent. There are some lumps and bumps, dents, and minor surface rust consistent with a vehicle this age. However, it is in amazing rust free condition for an unrestored vehicle i.e. it has “age appropriate” patina.
The following items require attention at some point. The wipers and horn are not currently functioning. There is an oil leak coming from the engine pan gasket. The transmission synchros are worn which requires double clutching when down shifting.
These Willys Super Hurricane Six, 4X4 wagons are getting harder to find particularly in unmolested and virtually rust free condition. The mileage shown of 105,00 + is accurate according to the PO. Call, ask questions, and take it for a drive. You will be pleased. ”
UPDATE: Yes, not a misprint: 6.5HP … This has been updated with what might be a lawnmower engine. And what the heck is on the inside of the hood??
“1952 willys with 6.5 hp predetor
Runs and drives low and high gear forward and reverse shifts like a normal standard but without clutch. Sometimes the chain will fall off but if you take your time giving it gas it works ok.
Has radio and towbar for 2 inch ball just something for a decoration in the yard the kids can play with I guess. No title has vin.

RECENT PICS:
OLD JEEP:
Looks nice.
“For sales is a nice 1948 Jeepster. We searched a long time before finding this car outside of Philadelphia and bring it up to MA. It’s a great driver with the 3 speed on the column and overdrive.
A very nice older body off restoration. Runs well. Good mechanically, paint good, chrome is excellent. Engine was rebuilt at time of restoration. This is a good driver ready for family fun or is a good start for someone who wants to turn it into a show car.
Quick video of the car can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/rmX6l-yFIPY”
