Hocus_Pocus_FocusHere’s two videos I found today.  The first video is a compilation of color footage that follows the landing at D-Day.  I thought it was very good.  I believe a little of this footage also was used in the WWII in HD series that was shown on the History Channel (some great footage there).

This video also includes a jeep called Hocus Pocus Focus. I searched for the phrase Hocus Pocus Focus, thinking I might come up with some meaning for it, but the only thing I found was that a band would name themselves Hocus Pocus Focus several decades after WWII.

The second video is a nicely shot video that shows a rebuilt 1943 GPW and trailer. It’s one of the better videos I’ve seen on YouTube in terms of quality of shots and editing.

1948 Willys M38-CJ-CJ2A-CJ3B Spring Lake, Mi eBay

This is that rare M38-CJ-CJ2A-CJ3B Model … Mixed parts, mixed model numbers, and an unusual VIN Number make this a bit of a puzzle.  The VIN is unusual because, according to all the records I have seen, the highest CJ-2A VIN is 224764. So, something isn’t right here.

“VIN NUMBER 235064, 1948 WILLYS M38-CJ-CJ2A-CJ3B, ARMY/NAVY JEEP, VERY RARE, Older Restoration but very nice in its present condition, Full Soft Top With Matching Doors, Also Bikini Top,4 Cylinder Hurricane F-4 Engine 134 CU.IN.,3 Speed Manual, 485 Rear End, Dual PTO’S, Front Automatic Locking Hubs,New Gas Tank, New Stainless Steel Exhaust, Newer Military Tires, Rebuilt Starter-Generator, Rebuilt Radiator, New Battery-Gas Filter-Plugs, Military PTO Wench 1/4 Cable-Weight 2170 LBS., Spare Tire and Wheel, Jerry Can, Shovel and Axe, This Willys Runs and Drives Perfect!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. Later than a ’53.

This might make a good restoration project.

“i have a 1953 willys wagon for sale. it has a 4 cyl that needs to be rebuilt. the body (1960) and frame are absolutely fantastic. the hood has suface rust. i have the bumpers, radiator, original steering column, and many other parts that go with this jeep. these jeeps look really nice after they’ve been restored. this is a restoration project well worth the money.”

1961 FC-170 Dually Marysvale, Ut **SOLD**

UPDATE:  This was bought for the ‘buy it now’ price of $8000.  Thanks Dennis!

(11/24/09) I like it, in part because it looks like it still gets used.  Marysvale is deep in the middle of Utah.  I’ve never been there, but I’ve been jeeping out of Mt. Pleasant above Marysville.  I’ve also flown over that area a number of times and scoped it out pretty well (you can see a variety of trails from above) with the idea that I’d go jeeping there at some point.  Also, the San Rafael Swell is a good area to explore also and is ignored by most tourists (or used to be).

“Willys Jeep FC-170. Dually flatbed. Purchased restored & used as light duty ranch truck. Stored inside. Still in nice condition. Has stock engine & transmission, 4wd. Was previously used as a parade vehicle but now carries a Lincoln welder (not included). Interior is all redone with blue velour seats. Runs & starts good in warm weather. It is not run in the winter. There are external exhaust pipes on each rear corner of the cab – sounds great too. This truck shows 80,000 miles but seller cannot guarantee actual milage.”
