Andy shared this rarely seen US Navy Smalley Port-O-Spot. It’s another odd utility vehicle partly built with Willys-Overland parts. Only a couple hours left in the bidding; the high bid is currently $3100.

1964 Wagon Traveller Katy, TX eBay

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

Mike spotted this modified Traveller for sale out of Texas. The serial number put this at only 7 units later than Scrambleer’s (Dan) Orange Traveller (see his wagon at the lower part of this 2014 post). Given it is so heavily modified, it would make a good platform for doing something creative. It would surprise me if this was a former Border Patrol vehicle (but I see no gov plate).

“We believe this is a 1964 Jeep Willys Traveller based on the interior and exterior trim. It has been modified as shown.

It has a V8 and manual trans, 4×4. It runs well. New BFG Tires.

Would make a good hunting or other off road touring rig. It does not have a title. It comes Bill of Sale only.”

1957 Fire-CJ-3B-Wagon out of Poland $10,500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, International, Willys Wagons • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,500.

Ivan shared this rare jeep. It is a former fire jeep-wagon. It was likely part of a limited production model either from some Willys-licensee in Europe or a third party. It’s priced at 45,000 Plish Zlotych which equates to about $19,500 USD.

I post this because it wins the award for the most creative use of a Uhaul item (as a seat cover), along with the unusual rear cargo mod.

Year? CJ-5 Edgewood, TX $1500

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.

This modified CJ-5 has an extended rear. The seller is unsure of the year, but it seems most likely a mid 1960s CJ-5 given the lack of a tailgate stamp and no faux battery box lid.

“According to the previous owners this Willy jeep is a 1954 or 1945 but I’m not sure I but this jeep to restore but I never have the time to do it iff you looking for one off this this is your opportunity is hart to find one off this I don’t have the title transmission and motor was working”

1948? JeepRod Long Beach, CA $85,000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, DJ-3A, Jeep Rods • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This one has a hefty price tag. Listed as a 1948, this could actually be a modified DJ-3A convertible.

“Selling my 1948 Willy Jeep Rat Rot for $85k. Spent a lot of money to build it from ground up. This is an authentic vehicle for you old school car lover. Drives great.”
