UPDATE: **SOLD** Was a raffle prize.

Matt wrote me today, letting me know that there’s a raffle for a M-100 trailer at Midwestmilitary.net. Tickets are $20. Proceeds go to help Gary Wirth’s hospital expenses, a result of his battle with cancer. The drawing will be held December 7, 2013. You can purchase a ticket here: http://www.midwestmilitary.net/raffle.html

“This trailer was donated for raffle by Al and Kelly Lehmann. They had it totally restored by Gary Wirth last fall. It was totally dismantled and rebuilt, including new bearings, brakes, wiring and tires.
Painted in 24087 color scheme. This trailer was not rusty before it was restored. It was a super clean trailer that came from a local city garage that always kept it inside. We have the original data plates and a new set of reproduction plates that will be added soon. Date of delivery is 10/52 and serial number 382368. The original manufacturer was Dunbar-Kapple. Between the cost of purchasing the trailer and the restoration, there is over $3000.00 invested. The wiining ticket holder will be responsible for picking up the trailer or shipping expenses. We can help with the shipping arrangements, so don’t let that stop you from purchasing a chance to win this beautiful piece of history.”

MB Slat Grille Suffers through Hurricane Sandy

Bob Christy forwarded this story about a 1941 MB Slat Grille that fell victim to Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The jeep was considered a total loss as saltwater reached the dash. Fortunately, the owner had the jeep covered by Collector Car Insurance, which allowed for a restoration of the jeep.

Here is the jeep after the storm:

Joe forwarded this site. He writes, “Here’s a link from G503.com (from years ago) with lots of pics of a NOS engine found in the most unlikely of places…..  the warehouse of a company that made wooden shipping crates for the Army.  It’s an interesting story…..  especially for those restoring their M38’s back to original stock condition.”

It’s a project.

“This a early Willy’s jeep. This is early year with the split windshield that flips up. I can’t give you a definitely year, the data plate was removed. This was a barn find from the mountains. Body needs work but it’s all there. Was going to do some kind of project either rat rod or rock crawler. Just haven’t had the time to mess with it and I’m moving. I do have a 4cyl Willys engine that came with it, or a 4.0l straight six that came out of a 1996 Cherokee that I’ll in. This does not run right now but a great cheap start to an awesome project. Call or text Jon if interested. 720 254-91eight two”

3 New CJ-3A/CJ-2A Tubs Dents Chickamauga, TN **Status Unknown**

October 31, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Body Parts This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
3

UPDATE: Status Unknown

“We have three new reproduction Willys CJ3A Body Tubs. These all have a minor dent somewhere. They will fit the CJ2A as well. The only real major difference between the 2A and 3A is the 3A rear wheel house is about 2″ shorter than the 2A. It gives you more room. The body will fit either frame without a problem. These are in black primer.
We do not hold items, Ship items, or do price dickering over the phone.
Come visit the store at 6654 Lafayette Road in Chickamauga. We are on the south side of the battlefield on the main road through the center of the park. We have many other jeep parts and accessories for old and new.”
