Updates resume Tuesday … hope all the fathers enjoyed father’s day on Sunday!

It’s a project.

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/1953-willys-jeep/6608592957.html

“Clean title, 53 Willys jeep. Is a project, but has a newly rebuilt Willys 6cyl Super hurricane. A newly rebuilt tranny and transfer case. Is a very doable project, and has a lot of parts. Asking 3800 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

(05/27/2018) Appears to have a replacement body.

“Serious inquiries ONLY!! NO txt NO scammers!! All parts go with the carb and fuel tank needs put on to run which are with the parts CASH ONLY NO TRADES!!”

No updates Friday.

My kids got me a brand new Henckel 8″ Chef’s knife for my birthday. Thursday night, while making some Pig Skin tacos (Tacos de Chicaron), I managed to cut my finger. So, I’ll be taking the day off of typing 🙂 … tacos turned out great! I got the idea from the Taco place we ate at in Lexington, Kentucky.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

Rough.

“1947 Willys CJ2a, what you see is what you get, except tow bar, has good bones, mostly complete, frame is solid, engine is free, transmission is stuck for some reason, Could use a another body. Lots of good parts. Bill of sale only.”

No updates for Monday. They’ll resume Tuesday.

TRIP EAST: Sometime this weekend or early next week I’ll begin my drive eastward. Ann will be joining me for some or all of the trip. Somehow, we managed to thoroughly flub our communication. She thought I was just going to the Willys Reunion and coming back, so didn’t see the point in traveling. I knew she was going on a trip to the East Coast with her mother after we return home, so I figured she just didn’t want to be traveling all summer. Once she figured out I was going to be visiting folks and having some fun, she was all “hell ya I’m goin'”.

I have changed my route somewhat from my initial proposal. I will publish the new route/schedule around Wednesday or so. I awaiting some 7 day weather forecasts.

T-SHIRTS, no, MORE POSTERS: I did not get organized enough to print shirts for the trip. Over the past month and a half I’ve had a couple bouts of illness, which made me less productive than normal, so shirts will have to wait. However, some folks did not get posters, so I’ve ordered another round of 50. That will give me plenty for the trip and for the Willys Reunion.

“Jeep CJ6 roller frame with complete body, nothing else.
Not perfect but much better than most you’ll find, if you can find one at all.
Old roller tires and wheels.
Not a rusted out mess.
Serious buyers only (I can tell), all others will be ignored.
I’m not going to answer a million questions, if you’re interested in this project and know what a cj6 is, come and look at.

It’s been under cover since I’ve had it.
These are fairly rare and hard to find. Although I am open to reasonable offers, once you’re standing in front of it, I will not even listen to offers, trades, scams, shipping ideas, etc., simply put, if you’re not standing in front of it I don’t deal.

Cash, in person only. I don’t care who picks it up, but you have to be here to buy it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,500.

“Frame off restore finished April of 2017, approx 20 miles since resto, climate control storage since. Everything new or refinished, runs great, 4 inch lift 33s. extremely clean and rare jeep in this condition. Zero rust. call for more details”

Appears worth a look.

Great Project Car.
Planned to restore it myself but no longer have the time.

Will trade for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. I don’t have time for a project so truck must be running in its current state . Preferably a diesel. Preferably a Dodge. But will consider any 3/4 or 1 ton so let me see what you got.”
