1997 Story of the Jeep in the Toledo Blade
January 30, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
On April 20, 1997, the Toledo Blade devoted an entire section of its newspaper to the jeep history, going all the way back to the construction of the Jewel sewing machine factory in 1885. While it isn’t a perfect history (for example Jeep did not copyright the name JEEP in 1946, they tried, and failed, to trademark it at that time), it’s still interesting with some photos and a historical time line.

Gus is a 1965 Willys originally from the south west, which means NO RUST. A retired man with a history in restoring military Jeeps saved Gus from the cutting torch. A few misguided teenagers concocted a plan to cut Gus’ fenders and make him into a “rock crawler”. Our retired friend couldn’t let that happen, and decided restoring and upgrading Gus would be a great retirement project.
$11,800 – We are open to trades, prefer interesting/older cars.

It looks solid.
“Very cool Willys Jeeps for sale. Built over the last two years from combined 47CJ2A and later CJ3B it has most of the things you want on a Willys build. I still have a ton of parts left over from the two jeeps, infact the list is too long to put here. Great CJ2A body blasted, primed, and painted along with frame, and most everyother part you can think of. Virtually everything was replaced or rebuild. Extra 4 Cyclinder Ford motor in addition to the original WIllys motor installed. Brake update kits, all running gear and steering components have been rebuilt or replaced. No telling how much time and money invested. Time and space will no longer allow me to keep it. New projects coming soon and we need the room and cash. Everything that I have goes with it, extra everything. Drove it summer before last haven’t started it since then. Does have tow bar and I know that put a little gas in the carb, she will fire right up! Contact with questions, remember time is short so serious interest only. Can send more photos on request.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3900.
“For Sale is my awesome 1977 Jeep DJ-5. I hate to sell it, but I dont drive it enough to justify keeping it anymore. These jeeps are getting really hard to find. They have a cool hard top, sliding doors, and swing out rear door. This one is even more rare because it has the best engine combo that was available for these jeeps: Legendary AMC 232 In-Line 6 cylinder engine and the 727 torqueflight automatic transmission. Engine runs great and transmission shifts smooth. Even the “fun” features work (wipers, horn, lights, etc.) This thing is awesome all around. 3″ Lift. New knobby tires. No rust. Ready to cruise around town.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
It’s a project with a rear PTO.
“I’m selling a project that will not get done in the near future so in an effort to save It, its time to move on to a new home. This is a CJ-3B also called a high hood. WE have all the major parts to reassemble (body parts and such). It was stripped down to sand blast the body and clean up the running gear. I do have a box of most everything that was removed. The rust is very minimal to not having any at all except surface rust, the one bad spot you can see in the pics. This jeep was never modified in the past, that makes it a good resto project or you can be the first to start cutting on it. It has stock running gear with a rear PTO. May consider a part trade for chevy truck stuff I’m not looking for junk and will still want cash too. Possibly an auto-trans t-400 or T-350 2wd. again no junk please don’t waste my time.”

Barney Roos Believes in the Farm Jeep; Canadian Experts Not so Sure
January 29, 2015 • CATEGORIES: Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
This photo appeared in a September 06, 1943, promoting the jeep as a tractor.
A 1943 an interview with Barney Roos appeared in a Palm Beach newspaper that explored his automotive history. In the article, Roos promoted the jeep as a practical alternative to the standard tractor. Another article in the Milwaukee Journal seconded farmer’s optimism regarding the jeep (there were many articles promoting the jeep as a farm tractor. Here’s a September 06, 1943 article).
A year later, two Canadian Agricultural specialists were much less confident in the jeep’s potential, suggesting the jeep drove to fast, the transmission was not strong enough, and the jeep lacked power to be a good farm vehicle. Willys Overland must have agreed with those researchers, because they addressed those issues by installing lower gears, which both added power and slowed down the jeep. They also updated the transmission to the T-90.
I’ll begin with the 1944 Canadian article first as that is comparatively short.
