Thanks to Randy for forwarding this  amazing footage from a color 16mm camera that captures Waikiki on VJ Day.  Look at the number of people standing on vehicles — they are nuts!  Also, check out the yellow Shore Patrol Jeep.  I hadn’t seen a yellow one before.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,900

This looks like a very nice wagon, but the hood doesn’t look like it quite fits right in the front (or maybe it’s an optical illusion).

“New brakes, battery, tires like new, RUST FREE BODY.”

1962 CJ-3B Saint Joseph, Mo eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is pretty rough, but is a no reserve auction.

“1962 Willy Jeep for restoration. I believe it is a CJ3B flat finder, high hood. It has a clear title and ran before it was put in storage. The transmision and four wheel drive were all working how ever the motor is now stuck. Body has rust and a few holes but the mount and frame are good. The floor board has only a few small holes but the bottom of the bed is gone. The top is good and it has doors as well. Most of the glass is bad or gone. I put lub in the cyclinders and I’m sure you can get the motor to run.There is no reserve and must be paid for at end of sale and pick up with in 30 days Thanks.”

1964 M-677 Columbia, MO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

“Very rare (less than 400 believed to ever have been produced, and only a handful raimaining).  Kaiser built these for the military based on the Forward Control Willys platform and powered by a Cerlist diesel engine.  The engine, transmission, and transfercase are missing from this rare survivor.  Survivor may be a strong word considering how beat up this example is.  Nearly very door and body panel is beat up in some fashion.  The irony is that this is a relativley rust-free example of a Forward Control Jeep.  The floors and structural body componenets are solid and strong.

This truck comes with a solid and straight civilian cab and doors that can be used to rebuild this ultra-rare crewcab body.  It has the military bumpers and grill guard.  The military garages are gone.  I have a civilian dash to go with it. It is missing the rear seat, and has no glass.

1959 FC-170 Columbia, MO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

“I bought this truck because of the rare 4-speed T98 transmission, and intended to use it as parts for my M677 Crew Cab (listed separately).  I decided to go ahead and list this FC170 separately, but I would also work with anyone interested in both trucks.

This truck starts and runs great.  The brakes are currently down from sitting.  I bought it a year ago.  The preivous owner told me he drove it regularly over the last15 yeas around his farm in Arkansas.

The four speed transmission and shifting mechanis is complete, as is the Ramsey PTO-driven winch.  The seats have been recovered with gray vinyl.  There is some rust in the forward floors and around the inside of the windshield header.  It looks like rust from mouse nests on the interior side.  The exterior does not show rust through. It has relatively new Delta Super Deep Lug tires, size 7.50 x 16. I don’t have a title for this Jeep.  The previous owner was supposed to mail it to me.  I’ve heard from him since then, saying he would send it once the DMV processed some paper work, but it has not yet arrived in my mailbox.”

1946 CJ-2A Perris, CA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

This has got some good parts — a nice rims, wheels, and a cage. The gas tank inlet is a little odd.  I’m not sure how/why that was changed. There’s no drain hole either.  Maybe this is a fiberglass body?

1946 CJ-2A Doddridge, AR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was  on eBay.

This looks like a solid vehicle, but still needs to be reassembled.

“1946 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A. This Jeep and its parts are sold in as is condition. The engine was running perfect when I took it apart to put all new gaskets, main seals, cap, rotor, plugs, wires and more. The transmission went out and that is why I started taking things apart. The new transmission has been installed. The old one leaked and wouldn’t shift. the new one has all new seals and shift through all the gears.  The Jeep also comes with the alternator, starter, carburetor and more. I just don’t have the time for the little jeep anymore and have too many other toys that work. The fenders need new bolts to hold them on. The rear left tire goes flat but the rest hold air no problem. There is very minimal rust on the Jeep. It has been in Arkansas for just under 2 years and has spent the rest of its life in the hills of Yosemite Calif. The time if you have it to put it together will make this a great putt putt for the road or ranch.”
