Eric was attending the Floyd, Virginia, Veterans Day parade with his jeep Short Round when he was given the opportunity to add a couple special passengers to his drive.

He writes, “Shortly after I got there I was approached by some people that had a WWII Veteran that would like to ride in the jeep. I was more that honored as this was really the main reason I had brought the jeep to the parade.

The Veteran was Marvin Nolen, 93 yrs old, Navy, of the Pacific Theater WWII. Landing Craft Support Ship #47 1943-46.

Another Veteran Sgt. Lawrence Woods of the USAAF Panama, 97 years old was picked up from his house when his friends knew my jeep was there. Sgt. Woods helped train pilots for both theaters of war.”

Kevin Morgan shared photos of his 1947 CJ-2A that he purchased through eWillys. He bought it in the fall of 2013 and spent the winter restoring it. After purchasing the jeep, he happened to find a trailer, which he refurbished to match the jeep. Not only does he enjoy driving his jeep, but it also doubles as advertising for a lodge he recently purchased and operates in Lake George, New York. He’s hoping some day to have a Willys meet there. If you are interested in such an event, comment below or send me an email and I’ll forward it to Kevin.

Here is Kevin’s description of the lodge: Our lodge is 1950’s vintage with a mix of cabins and suites that we purchased this Spring and have been renovating (check us out at www.foresthilllakegeorge.com). It’s Adirondack style, rustic and cozy, and we want to attract people who enjoy campfires and slowing life down a little.forest-hill-lodge-cabins-ny3 forest-hill-lodge-cabins-ny4

“Here’s a very hard to find FC-150. Used as a parade vehicle by the American Legion years ago. It was towed from event to event and the tow bar comes with it for easy pick up. Very cool looking paint job. Hurricane 4 cylinder engine. Comes with white spoke wheels and original rims with tires. PTO in rear! The photos show the condition of the FC-150. Having owned a couple of these it’s hard to find one with such a clean undercarriage. It’s been off the road for several years so it will need some work to be driver.

1946 CJ-2A Katy, TX **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6500.

Has a variety of updates.

“I am selling a restored 1946 Jeep Willys. I recently replaced the battery and cleaned it up a bit. It’s been sitting under a covered parking spot for about a year, maybe a bit longer, but it fires right up. I bought some parts that I was going to replace for the sake of maintenance but I haven’t had time to replace them. I have the front passenger seat, I just removed it to take a picture of the back seat. The price is $6,500.00 cash. I might be flexible on the price if you come take a look at it and give me your honest opinion of what you think it’s worth. I have the title in hand, the title is a rebuilt title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer

The trip has been painted. No obvious runs.

“Looking to trade but will sell for the right price:
1961 willy’s pickup truck. Great shape. Runs, drives, stops with no problem. Shifts into 4wd. Solid frame and pretty solid body. This jeep is not perfect but it is something you can drive and tinker with. It is currently registered and driven every week. Newer tires, newer battery, new radiator. I have a ton of extra hard to find parts including extra hood, front axle, fenders, grill, etc.
I am looking for more of a hot rod/ rat rod/ 2wd truck, or muscle car. It can be a project and I am willing to add cash on my end for the right vehicle. Some things I am looking for:
1947-60 Chevy or GM pickup trucks
Ford f100
International pickup trucks
Dodge Pilothouse pickups
Dodge duster, dart, demon,
Vintage mustangs or maybe the right notch foxbody
Model t, model a
Nova, c10, chevy II
Harley fxr, fxrt, fxrs
Panhead, shovelhead, knuckle
American big twins
Essentially anything that can be lowered and made to be fast and loud.
Running or not.”
