UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
The mule is pulling the stuck Bantam “midget tractor” out of the mud.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000
Nice looking jeep.
“I am trying to assist a friend of mine on selling his Willys. I don’t quite have the details on the vehicle but will update when I do….He is asking $12,000 for this Willys. He has owned it since the 50’s and used it to run in the sand dunes. Now he is a little less comfy in it, being 91 years old and just wants someone to enjoy it like he did.”
The motor has been updated. This has many of the M-170 elements, except for the passenger side cutout. I’m wondering if it has been filled?
“1953 Willys Military M38A1 Jeep with half cab &doors. 12 volt conversion 225 evenfire V6 with Weber carb. All new spring bushings & centerpins. Lots of work done. Needs tires & regastration, fell off DMV records same as starting over. Cash talks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Runs and drives.
“I have a 1962 Jeep Willy’s CJ6. Has a new rebuilt original 4 cylinder motor. (F134, I believe it was also called the Hurricane motor). Just picked it up from the mechanic today. Has a fairly recent tranny rebuild. It was rebuilt approx. 2 yrs ago. I would say less than 5K on the rebuild tranny. It would be a good daily driver or a great start to a complete restore. Body is in decent shape. The person I bought it from evidently used some putty to fill in some areas and it is starting to pull off. Pictures show the areas. I have the seat for the back but I was starting to fix some body areas and pulled it out along with the carpet. It also has a decent sound system, currently dismantled at the moment because I needed to build boxes for the speakers. It has a pto driven winch. Its a 3 speed with a splitter. 4X4 with locking hubs. Custom made front and rear bumper. As always have way more invested than what I am asking. In case you are wondering, because CJ6 aren’t very common, it is similar to the CJ5 except it has a 20″ longer wheel base. Any questions feel free to ask.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
“Willy,s M38A1, 1953 Army Jeep, Original with minor restoration, rebuilt motor, PTO winch with snatch block and chains, cold weather top, gas heater, shovel, axe, tool kit, two WW11 gun racks, one with canvas cover, signal lights installed with no changes to the original wiring. Ser # 38880”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
Looks solid. The ignition isn’t in the middle of the dash. That and the lack of bow holders could mean it is a CJ-3A body.
“1946 Flat fendered. Runs great! Only serious buyers please. No emails or texts…please call direct…thank you”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000.
Need power? How about a big block 454.

“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep Runs Great.. Recent 12v conversion.. New Tires and wheels..”
Seller doesn’t realize the engine isn’t original.
“Clean 1946 Willys CJ-2 Jeep. All original except wheels. New battery. Tires have light wear. Original engine runs. Pics of original plates are taken off the vehicle, I had to clean them to read them. Call for details. 5000 OBO.”
It needs some work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Needs finishing of some type.

Welded steering box in front for easy steering. Full top with doors. I’ve had it for years, but I don’t have the time to finish it and I have too many projects.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This seemed like a really good price, until I saw the damage of the rear passenger side of the body. Seems like a tree might have fallen on it?? Still might be worth a look.
“1956 .. Classic Willey’s Jeep .. CJ5 ..

This Willey’s Jeep would be a “Great Winter Restoration Project”

UPDATE: Was $5000.
It’s a project.
“Early 1942 Ford “Script” Jeep to restore. Super original & rare to find, it’s been sitting outside, sad to say. The tub is pretty rough but repairable and the frame is in really good condition to restore. I have an L-head core motor and a core T-84 transmission plus some other GPW parts from other restorations. No transfer case. The correct Dana 25 front and Dana 23 rear is original and both roll really smoothly. This a once in a lifetime find and if restored properly will fetch upwards of $30,000. Personally, I hate to do it but I want to finish restoring my M38A1. AS-IS with a Bill of Sale only.
Open to trades and will deliver for additional cost.”
Motor is stuck.
“1952 CJ-3A with nearly all the original parts on it. The L-Head motor is stuck, but has black oil and has clean coolant, I believe it’s a good motor. The rear floor panel was replaced with flat steel and the tool storage box has no bottom, besides that she looks really good for the age. AS-IS with a bill of sale only. Open to trades and will deliver for additional fee”
UPDATE: *SOLD** Was $4500.
It’s a shortened truck project. That looks like a fiberglass drag jeep body in the foreground.
“53 willys pickup on Cherokee chassis,360 AMC v8, turbo 400 ,208 t/c,dana 44 front ,disk brakes, aluminum radiator,corprate 20 rear. shortened bed. needs finishing good project. $4500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
It’s missing the motor and tranny.
“This is a real nice 1946 Willys Jeep–check out my pictures
I have a new title in my name and the title from the owner 50 years ago (antique) I bought Jeep from the last owner—he owned this Jeep 50 years
His son and I are good friends.
No motor or transmission
Real solid–min rust–sheet metal very straight”
Looks pretty solid.
“I have 2 body’s with hood and fenders. Some rust”
Good price on what looks to be a DJ-3A tub.
“Willys flat fender tub, no rust. Rear corners banged up. Dash is original, no added holes. I believe the tub is around 1959 based on dash.”
UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
This may be a good price. Might not take much to make it look even better.
“1953 M38A1 Military Jeep in nice condition.
I have owned this Jeep for around 20 years. Around 4 years ago, I had the dents and dings taken out, primed and painted by a local auto-body shop. I did not have them fully disassemble the jeep as that would have been a little too pricey for me. As such, the more hidden areas (like under the fuel tank) are not painted in Army green, nor was the underside of the vehicle. The paint was researched by the Surplus outfit in Oroville and that is where I purchased it. I have a gallon of it left for touch-ups or doing what was not done before.
There are several military gizmos still on the Jeep: It has a pintle hitch, the small black-out lights below the headlights, the canvas-bow brackets mounted on the side, several placards (in brass) showing the serial number, etc, several tie downs for a top and the shovel bracket under the hood.
The floors are (amazingly) rust free and the tool chest beneath the passenger seat is intact with only a small bit of rust. There is a bullet hole in the floor of the tool chest (?) that was there when I purchased it, but not in the lid. It’s something you can ponder over with your friends.
The Jeep needs a thorough ‘going-through’ to check and replace seals where necessary.
The bottom canvas on both front seats need to be replaced but the remainder is quite serviceable.
There is a rear seat bench, painted-to-match of the correct type and the canvas is there.
All 4 tires are military-type and show very little (if any) wear. There is a spare wheel and military-type tire or serviceable but older vintage. There is a painted-to-match roll that just hasn’t been re-installed after the painting.
The jeep starts, idles, runs and drives. I believe the engine (a 4 cylinder) is original and has a new fuel pump and tune-up around 3 years ago. The battery is old, but it starts and the lights work. It has been converted to 12V. The battery well is funky and could use some protective coating.
The speedometer, water temp and oil pressure appear to work. The fuel gauge does not.
Over at Kustomrama.com I found the below photo taken by Marvin Patchen. Marvin took a variety of older photos that have landed on the pages of FourWheeler and JP Magazines (or perhaps just online).
Last year Verne Simons published three articles at Four Wheeler.com with jeep camping photos. The photographer for some of these was Marvin Patchen. Apparently some were also published in a 1959 Motor Life Magazine article (I believe it was April 1959 — I will know for sure soon). There are some great photos. Click on the links below to see them.
Photos from the first two links were taken during a Chuckwalla Jeep Club Trip from Hemet to Borrego Springs.

Mark has just posted a new feature story over at Warjeeps.com. Read about how David Egerton spent three years restoring a 1942 GPW that had been civilized.
