I forgot to share a photo of my 50th birthday cake. Ann declared me ‘older than dirt’ and included some jeeps on it.
1945 Photo of Ford GPA SEEP on ebay
Marc spotted this great photo of an amphibious jeep.
“Amphibious Jeep – 41st – Italy – 3″ X 4 1/2″ – 1945 Original Photo

This picture is from a group of pictures that where taken in Gioia, Italy in 1945″
1944 Photo of Burma Jeep Train on ebay
This was the first jeep train to go over a repaired bridge at Ledan Chaung. I suspect the first time over was nerve racking!
“Up for sale is an antique photograph featuring an army jeep on the Burma Railway. Condition is excellent overall; see photos for details.
The photo measures 5 inches by 4 inches.
Check out my store for many other great photographs!”
1942 MB? Tulsa, OK $6995
Not perfect, but a fair price for what’s there. No description.
1942 GPW Auburn, CA $5500
The roll bar is funky, but the jeep looks pretty good.
“Clean and runs great, but in need of a new home. This jeep is all original, except for the added roll bar (bolts on and off) and that I converted it to 12 volts. Willys Go Devil flat head 4 cylinder engine starts easily and runs great. I have had this jeep for over 27 years and treated it well.
This is a great collectors jeep that just needs a little superficial TLC”
1950 CJ-3A Easton, CT $1900
Appears worth a look.
“Runs, Drives & Stops, even the E-brake works. Frame is in good shape, the body not so good especially the floors, seat covers are shot. Motor runs great, replaced timing chain and gears and exhaust manifold a few years back, all gauges work though speedo bounces. Transmission and transfer case work as they should. No cracks in windshield. Comes with extra 16″ rims.”
1951 CJ-3A Bonners Ferry, ID **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
Obviously, this is not all original. It’s even got the wrong windshield. But, it runs and drives.
“1951 all original 2a Willis jeep new are you joints/4 inch lift Leaf springs motor tuneup runs daily driver call or text for more info”
1953? M-38 Daytona Beach, FL $33,000
Looks ready for the road, but it is also a good example of how the investment of time and money doesn’t always equal the market value.
“I had this jeep completely restored and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I need to sell to get a work truck. I would consider trading for a 4×4 diesel or gas crew cab flatbed dually; or just a good newer 2500 4×4.
Please do not waste my time with random offers and just plan junk. I have 33k invested in this jeep with supporting documentation.”
1958 CJ-3B Melissa, TX $4500
Still some work left before this is road worthy. The driver’s side has had body work done.
“I have a 1958 Jeep Willys. My brother in law took it apart to do a full resto and he have fallen to some hard times with his health. Its a restored roller. He has all the parts for the engine, transmission and wiring harness. Needs to be put back together, and break lines. Clean title on hand. Hes asking $4500.00 OBO.”
1948 CJ-2A Yucaipa, CA **SOLD**

1951 M-38 Weatherford, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Includes some combat rims, so there could be some value here.
“Life gets in the way, I would love to restore this old girl but I just don’t have the time. I’ve spent a lot of time taking everything apart and starting to clean things up for a full ground up restoration but my time is needed elsewhere and I would like this to go to someone who will take care of her. There is only one cancer spot on the body tub and it’s under the passenger seat in the compartment and it’s not very big, should be a simple fix. I have a bunch of other parts with this as well. A few combat rims,CJ2A parts like a frame, fenders, trans/transfer case, axles. This is a project so you will need a trailer to get her home, I will help with what I can, but the frame is hard to move.”
1946 CJ-2A Indianola, MS $1000
No title and needs engine.
“46 Willys Jeep. DOES NOT RUN. MOTOR LOCKED UP. Its complete. Nothing missing. No title. Tractor tires. Only trades will be a car trailer, smaller utility trailer plus cash , or hunting equipment. No calls after 9 pm. No help selling it. No spam”
Year? DJ-3A Levelland, TX $5000
The price seems a tad high for a jeep that doesn’t look like its moved in some time. No description and only one photo.
1942 Photo of WWII Communications in Hawaii on eBay
Press photo that references a “peep” rather than a jeep. It is one of a series of photos showing military maneuvers to demonstrate the Hawaii was safe from attack, even by “hordes of Japanese: soldiers.
“1942- Communications “Peep” set up in a pineapple field during maneuvers in Hawaii.”

1944 Crawler San Francisco, CA **Status Unknown*
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $18,599.
Lots of time and money in this rig.
“This is my pride and joy that I built for myself not to flip but now after completing the build I never have time to use it so I finished it 3 years ago and as you can see it has just over a 1000 miles on it and most of that is driving around town!! I have taken it across the Rubicon 3 times and across Fordyce once. I DO NOT trailer it every time, I drive it straight up I-80 thru Lake Tahoe to the Rubicon and back home it is registered street legal although it is pushing it with CHP!! I can tell you that pictures do not do this Willy’s justice you will not be disappointed to see and hear it in person it is very clean and capable of any trail.

1947 CJ-2A Oneonta, NY **SOLD**

It appears to include a 1987 jeep wrangler that runs.
“i also have a 1947 jeep willy, i do not know a whole lot about this jeep i bought it with big intentions, but i just don’t have the money or time to work on it. it does not run, i do know that the frame is good on it the tub is in ok shape but its defiantly a project, the last guy that owned it which is a friend of the family said he parked it because the brakes went bad on it an i guess gave him a scare so he never fixed it or bothered with it he says the engine is in good shape and has all original parts from what im told . im asking 1400 obo, i seriously need these gone by this weekend so im flexible with the price. ”

This appears to have an early tub.
“Calling all Vintage Jeep Lovers! This one is a project for just the right person. This vintage jeep was in the process of being redone when the owner died suddenly. The body, transmission, and engine are surprisingly sound. The owner had taken many parts off and had obtained replacements including seats, and electrical wiring, but unfortunately was unable to finish the project. As you can see in the photo, it includes a front tow bar. Again, its a project but great when done! ”
