1954 CJ-3B Bend, OR **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was $3950. **SOLD**

(12/06/2014) It might be worth a look.

“My ’54 is numbers-matching and pretty much all original from stem to stern. It has 66764 miles and has spent all it’s life in Montana and Oregon. It has been driven a mere 1800 miles since 1993. It is equipped with a Koenig Model 330 all-steel cab and Koenig PTO King Winch Model 151J (the PTO is not connected for some reason). And it has a HEATER!!

The engine runs well. 6V battery is new. Clutch, exhaust, shocks, tires, and brakes have low miles on them– however due to lack of use the brakes need some attention. I added fluid and replaced both front brake hoses– and then the weather hit and I set the project aside. Lights also want a little help. Gauges mostly work. One broken piece of (flat) cab glass left-rear.

The Jeep was originally red. At some point it was re-painted red by hand and has great patina. Yes, there is rust– but I’m going to call it ‘average’. Oregon title is clean.
I can send pix– but come take a look! I’m just west of Pilot Butte….”

Marc pointed out that these soldiers are wearing British style helmets. It also looks like one of the jeeps doesn’t have a glove box, indicating it is possibly a slat grille. I did a couple searches, but couldn’t locate the Grand Hotel Du Pacifique.

1963 FJ-3A Portland, OR **SOLD**

UPDATE: Was $5000. **SOLD**

It’s called the “Biff Bus”.

“1963 Jeep Fleet Van FJ3-A. Cute as can be, very rare, and a great conversation piece! Many people have stopped and asked me what kind of vehicle it is! 15 years ago it had a 1973 4 cylinder Pinto 2.0 engine transplant, and in 2007 a professionally rebuilt transmission by Marty’s Transmission of Portland. I have owned it for 28 years and have driven it very little since 2007 and did use it for an ice cream truck for about 7 years, and it has been in several parades. Its size is 12 ft. long, 5 ft. wide, and 7 ft. tall. The reason for selling it is that I have to find a happy new home for my beloved Biff Bus, as it is affectionately called. It has power brakes, an electric cooling fan for the engine, a nice array of marker and clearance lights, and a cassette car stereo. Some things on it that need work are: it needs a new alternator, has a little surface rust on the side and rear doors, and it needs new tags. $5,000 firm and no trades.”

This might be worth a look.

“Hobart DC welder from the 50s powered by a 4 cylinder CJ2A jeep flat head engine and mounted on a 2 wheel trailer that fits Chrysler rims. Item has been stored in a garage for around 25 years after being taken out of service due to a leaky gas tank. The cables were scrapped due to the insulation all falling off of them years ago. The trailer tongue has a single hole in a flat strap cut with a gas torch.
The engine is stuck from sitting for years but should not have gotten any water in it.
I have a key for it that fits the switch and moves between positions.”

Paul’s Getting All Charged Up

Paul’s made some additional progress over the last month on his stainless jeep.

Paul writes, The upholstery is done, the driver’s seat has been installed and the seat belt/shoulder harness combos have been adjusted for length and bolted in place. The passenger seat will still need to be removed to allow access to the battery mount and cable connections in the electrical box but progress is being made.

interior-stainless-paul

Corbeau three inch wide belts with a cam lock release and in a color that goes well with the upholstery and stainless steel.

interior-stainless-paul2Paul has also been working on the battery installation. He continues, The open space on the right side of the electrical junction box should be filled with a new Odyssey AGM side post battery

battery-box1

Here I’m comparing the size of the Odyssey battery to the mockup battery I taped together out of poster board. I used the mockup battery to locate the attach points for the battery hold down bracket in the electrical junction box.

battery-box2

The battery fits and there’s even room for a longer battery. This small battery weighs 45 pounds so I don’t believe there’s any need to get a larger and heavier battery anytime in the future.

battery-box3

This hold down bracket is slightly bigger than the battery but the battery is firmly held when the attach hardware is tightened. The bracket consists of eight separate pieces of stainless held together by 40 rivets.

Now it’s time to start smoke testing the wiring and that might take a while.
