“Ive got to sell my beautiful 1945 Willys CJ2A to make room for my side by side. Original 4 cal 6V civilian model 1st year they were built. It has been in car shows and paradise and also around the hills around Mesquite. Green with yellow wheels was the original color, pretty wild for 1945. It will take you about anywhere you want to go and always puts a smile on everybody’s face. A lot of fun and in great shape”

1942 GPW Boulder, CO **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $24,000

Has matching numbers.

“One is a 1942 WW2 Jeep. It is Model GPW built by Ford and identical in every way to the Willys Model MB. Both Ford and Willys shared the WW2 production of 500,000 Jeeps almost equally. Ford had a policy of identifying virtually all of their parts including Bolts with the Ford script “F”. Because of this, a complete and original GPW will usually sell for a higher price than the comparable Willys. My GPW is serial number 10,100. Simply stated this is a very early WW2 Jeep and the 10,100th Jeep produced of a total Ford production of approximately 250,000 Jeeps. It was completed on March 25, 1942. The date is engraved on the original Ford data plate on the Glove box door.
The body, floors and all metal are in excellent condition. There is no rust. The Jeep has been garaged since I’ve owned it. Have Top/bows.
The engine is original and is engraved GPW 10,100 on the block. The Frame is also engraved GPW 10,100.
The Jeep cranks and starts like it should. It is a good driver as well.
The Jeep has a gun mount for a 30 cal Browning MG. I have the Browning MG which is made from a Browning parts kit. It is correct in appearance, size and weight. The guts of the MG have been modified so the MG will not fire. The MG is not a Live gun. It is for display.”

1952 CJ-3A Navarre, AR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.

The engine runs.

“Old Jeep I call Rusty. A little to good to scrap out and not quite good enough for high dollar restoration. When I got her the plugs were broken and rusted in place so I pulled the head and removed them and cleaned up the head. Inspected engine and it looked in great condition. Reinstalled head with new plugs. Then found out starter was no good. Gave up on fixing starter and got new one only to find out ring gear had teeth missing. Pulled engine replaced ring gear and put new clutch kit in while I was at it. Put engine back in, pulled shift tower on transmission and inspected gears. All good. Changed fluids twice in transmission and transfer case. Shifts good now. Hooked up my jumper box and and after 30+ years, engine started right up. The carburetor needs a complete rebuild so I have to choke it to make it run. Engine has excellent compression and vacuum. Pretty good old Jeep. Will need hat channel and some floor work. It will also need a fuel tank, brake work and a windshield. Has great patina. This old Jeep came from the Warren, Arkansas area where it has been in an old shed for years. I have a video of engine running, so I’ll send it to an email address, just let me know. It’s sold with bill of sale only.”

1971 CJ-6 Troutman, NC $4000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

(12/18/2013) This appears solid.

Rare 1971 CJ-6. 80% restored. New tie rods, complete new brake system, new gas tank, fuel lines and fuel pump, new wiring harness (when I got it , it had the original wiring with a lot of extras wiring that had been added over the years from previous owners) , 2 extras front fenders, a new transfer case rebuild kit for it’s original Dana 18 transfer case, more. I bought it because it is so rare and we wanted an older Jeep from the early 70’s. I drove it for about 6 months before starting to fix it up. I came across a CJ5 that I loved and decided to let this one go. It still needs a little work before it could be painted and it would be a heck of a jeep that many people don’t have. The V6 motor and transmission all are in good shape. All it needs is the final finishes on the wiring harness, the transfer case rebuilt, tires and paint.

Cradle of Aviation Museum and More w/ Kasia

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

2014-12-08-cradle-of-aviation-jeep1The weekend is over and Kasia has returned to her ‘peeps’ at Fema Corps. On Saturday we braved the wind and rains for a trip to Roosevelt Field Mall. We did some shopping, then saw a movie (Interstellar – both liked it), and finally returned to Sea Cliff where we spent several hours talking. It was great!

Sunday morning we drove to the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. On the plus side there were some great interactive exhibits, some interesting photos and stories. and, of course, lots of airplanes. I also even found an MB that was being used as a gift-shop display prop, though the jeep looked mostly complete.

On the down side we were approached by an exuberant docent ready to share all the information he could about Charles Lindberg, the museum and more (and more and more and … well, you get the picture). And, he did have some interesting tidbits and stories, but after a while he was just too much. Several times we thanked him for his help, turned and walked away, but then the guy would follow us and start up again! Finally, we just started walking away and he gave up.

Here’s some pics from the museum starting with two more of the jeep:
