UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500.

Looks nice.

“The CJ2A was the very first civilian Jeep sold after World War II. This Jeep went through a three-year frame-off total restoration. Anything that wasn’t original was removed. My goal was to return it to what it looked like when it rolled off the showroom floor. I have owned it for 19 years.

The vehicle was completely dismantled. Original frame was sandblasted, primed and painted. Much of the original body was beyond repair, so those portions were replaced with correct reproductions purchased from a Jeep specialist in California. Original grill, headlights, turn signals, chrome headlight trim, bumper & tailgate were retained. The transmission and transfer case are original. The body was completely sanded, primed, and painted. It has NO bondo / body filler. The original paint color (Luzon Red) was found under the dashboard, and the Jeep was returned to that color with original color wheels. Continue reading →

1942 GPW Orlando, FL SOLD

August 27, 2015 • CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

It’s had some work done.

“The following has been rebuilt: Frame, steering, brakes, suspension, Carburetor, master cylinder, etc. New tires, major portions of the electrical system, water pump, etc. Engine overhauled (according to the previous owner) in 2011. I rebuilt or repaired most of the subsystems except for the tub which you can see and I have a detailed list of all the parts replaced. It has been converted to 12 volt. Apparently, in the late 40’s, the front grill was replaced with a CJ2A grille, the T84 transmission was swapped out for a T90 and a tailgate was installed. It is a true GPW though with the machine gun mount and plenty of “F” marked parts.

Included in the price are a large collection of extra parts including an extra T90 transmission, Dana 18 Transfer case, two gallons of GFI Olive lusterless paint as well as two of the GFI Red Oxide Primer. I have lockout hubs on it now to minimize the wear on the front diff but I do have the original hubs.

I’ve also heavily documented the entire restoration process on CD so you know what has taken place. I drive it around town on the weekends (as far as the 40 mile/hr top speed will take me) so it is kept in good running condition.”

1964 CJ-5 Buena Vista, CO SOLD

August 27, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: Stock. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. According to Bill this has the Mark III Tuxedo Park package.

Jim spotted this nice looking CJ-5. It looks like it has a Tuxedo Park Package and appears to have the Indian Ceramic steering wheel.

“From high up in the mountains of central Colorado comes a very well preserved, 1964 CJ5 that is largely unmolested. The reason I say largely unmolested is that other than a carburetor change to aid the drivability at altitude, this jeep is all original from factory paint to the factory upholstery. The original Carter Carburetor is included, along with the air cleaner ducting should the buyer wish to return it to its stock configuration. Carter did offer a “High Altitude” kit for the “Hurricane 4″but it was rated rated at 4000 ft above sea level, but when you consider that this jeep lives at 8000 ft, and a ride into the high country may find it 13,000’+, you see the Carter solution is not viable. Re-jet you say? Carter used metering rods instead of jets, so that’s why it has the very popular Weber Progressive 2 bbl. conversion which allows re-jetting to accommodate the thin air.

1946 CJ-2A Washougal, Wa $4500

August 27, 2015 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Has some rust int he floors, but looks good otherwise.

“Here is a nice and mostly original example of the first year of the “CJ” (Civilian Jeep) produced in 1946. This one is in very restorable condition with the typical rust in the floor-pans that is easily repaired or it can be left “As Is”and used as a daily driver or for outdoor adventures. It’s original Flathead Engine runs and drives well, the brakes have been professionally replaced and the seats have also been recovered in heavy canvas that looks like the original. I originally intended to restore the Jeep when I bought it a few years ago but I just can’t seem to find time to get to it…….so I’m going to let it go. I have a new exhaust system and a new carburetor that will be included with the sale, the winch is not going to be included. One thing that I should add is that the “Half Top” on this Jeep sets it apart from the others that were built in ’46. This one is a Willys Factory Half Top, they are pretty unique and also somewhat rare, here is a link to an article that explains what that means”

Portola’s Railroad Days

August 26, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Event, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

IMG_5307 (Small) Steve Elkins filed this report from Portola’s Railroad Days.

Portola, California, is rich with railroad history, as the town grew up around the WP Railroad yard. It’s the home of the Western Pacific RR active from 1903 until 1983 when WP merged with Union Pacific. WP was the last major railroad completed into California, eventually running from Salt Lake City, Utah to Oakland, CA. The significance of this location is that their tracks cross the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range at the lowest point, near Beckwourth Pass (5,200′). There’s less climbing for the trains, and there’s less snow to hinder the railroad in Winter; unlike the Southern Pacific RR route, crossing the mountains further South near Lake Tahoe (7,100′). Western Pacific is known as the “Feather River” Route, following the Feather River West of Portola into the Sacramento Valley, then turns toward the San Francisco Bay Area.

In celebration of the railroad town’s heritage, Portola held their annual Railroad Days last weekend. There were three days of activities, including a car show and shine, and a parade. Here are photos of the three Willys that participated, two traveling from Nevada.

Mellouise owns that nice M-38. She and her husband enjoys visiting the e-Willys website and driving the M-38 as her summer car around town for general transportation. “Mel” and two of her friends joined the parade in her well kept Jeep.

Mel is looking for a rear seat for her M-38. If you know of one, contact me at willys57@sbcglobal.net and I will pass the information on to her.

That’s one nice early 1950 Sedan Delivery, my favorite kind of Willys (I just bought another Parkway last week.) And that’s a beautiful pickup, apparently owned by the same family. I didn’t get a chance to meet them. I know that’s unlike me, but I had trains on the brain, spending most of the weekend at the RR Museum; a live museum with lots of action this weekend. I had just enough time to enjoy talking with Mel about her Jeep, then take a few snapshots and run off to the activities.
