(10/14/2014) I suspect this is a replacement body. It looks in good shape.
“Selling my 48 Willy’s. Body is very straight with no rust. Original motor and drive train is tight and runs great. Previous owner had the trans and steering box rebuilt. Converted to 12 volt. Rebuilt carb. Power windows, just kidding. Very simple Jeep. Not built for the Highways, top speed is about 50 MPG. Very fun for around town, Tahoe, getting morning coffee or four wheeling on your huge ranch. Feel free to call or text. Please no email for I don’t check this one often at all. I have the soft top and soft full doors. Great adventure mobile.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
This is a mix of parts.
“Great Willys jeep for sale. 1942 Frame, motor, and front clip. 1946 tub. Famous flat head L134 Go devil engine. Was used in movies. The jeep runs and drives, also can be towed behind. WWII jerry cans and ax/shovel kit come with. Make an offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700.
Runs roughly. The front bumper isn’t original.
“Built by Kaiser – same as Willys. rust free, converted to 12 volts, was stored in garage for last five years, runs rough, very low mileage, planned to restore to military specs but too many projects. Five new tires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000. Might have a CJ-2A VEC body.
“1951 Willy’s CJ3A Jeep. V-6 231 4 barrel 4 speed with headers. Also have another V-6 231 motor that goes with it. Asking $3000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
“I’m thinking about trading my 1950 Willy’s Jeep for an enjoyable daily driver. It has a 283 V8, manual transmission and Dana transfer case from a 1965 chevy truck, over sized radiator, Dana axles, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and sits on 33″ tires. It’s a head turner and it’s impossible to drive around town without people asking about it or saying how cool it is. In low gear range, it’ll literally climb trees. I know, I’ve done it. It is a 1950 so it has its quirks, but it runs and drives well. I just haven’t had time for any tlc for the last couple of years and would like to see it go to a good home, while I get a car I can drive around when when the weather’s bad. I could definitely use a truck, but am open to ideas. Would love a 4wd Tahoe or Yukon with a 5.3 V8 in it…. I’m sure I’d probably take the right cash offer if it came along.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
No title. Hasn’t run in a while.
“Vintage CJ3A Willys Jeep. THERE IS NO TITLE. Serial number 452 GB1 15021. Has original flathead four cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission, and is 4 wheel drive. The engine ran when parked (6 years ago), and is not stuck. The tires hold air. The running gear is in ok shape. The body is in rough condition. 16″ OEM wheels. The tires hold air. This Jeep has been modified and was used as a hunting truck. Has built in tow bar (uses a 1 7/8″ ball). What you see in the pictures is what you get. THERE IS NO TITLE.”
It’s a project.
“This is a project. It needs to be seen in person. The Chevy Vortec engine came out of a 2002 Chev truck and is the same engine used in the Blazer. It includes automatic transmission and 4wd output. The frame has been modified for this engine but some work remains to be done. The frame was sand blasted to bare metal, then primered and then painted with Imron. The two seats have been reupholstered. It will take a couple trailers to transport everything. It is stored in a storage garage in Los Angeles.”
UPDATE: Was $1111. **SOLD**
Has new tires.

“This Jeep has been around in the family for years, has originals parts but outer body needs some work. Definitely a restoration project I would think, but everything still there. Is 4 wheel drive. It has 2-5 Gallon Gas Cans, Front mounted Winch, Soft cover with doors, Dual Gas Tanks, Oversize radiator, Center Mount double rifle Rack and Front row bar in and hitch in rear This would be great for someone who loves these kind of cars because they are collectibles. Has awesome engine, 327 bored over to 331, compression pistons 10 1/2 to 1, 8 cylinders, has hot rod engine, The jeep is mechanically sound. Low, low gears for climbing. It has been sitting for years, so it will need some work to start it up I would think. The drive frame is fine, engine frame, axle, etc. are all good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“This is a 1944 jeep with good motor and drive, jeep body and frame have considerable rust. Plus have a box full of new parts from previous owner, would take work to restore, but has good title. Has 2 hoods.”

These may be a good price.
“Four 16 x 6.5 CJ5 / Kaiser / Willy’s wheels or rims. Tires are not any good but are still mounted.”
The windows aren’t too clear, but no obvious holes or tears.
“Soft top and doors made by kayline. Good shape . Doors look brand new. Email with questions. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Might have some value.

Remember when I said we would head west from Clyde Holliday yesterday? Forget that idea. We chose to head east this morning. BTW: Normal posts will resume Thursday.
Below is the updated map:
We didn’t get going too quickly this morning, as I was still smarting from the beating at cards my wife gave me last night. For us, a round of rummy ends at 500 points. She’s won 8 of 10 rounds this trip! Her luck has to end at some point . . .
From Clyde Holliday, we drove west until we reached Prairie City. To my surprise, it is one of Ann’s favorite places on earth. It turns out her great uncle once owned a huge chunk of land starting from one mountain, extending through the valley into the hills on the opposite side, making him at one time the largest landowner in Oregon. She shared fond memories of exploring the area.
After Prairie City, we took scenic and lonely Highway 7 through the mountains toward Baker City. We were enjoying the beautiful drive when I spotted an Oregon Parks sign for the city of Sumpter. Curious, we turned and headed toward the former mining city.
Once in Sumpter, we stumbled upon the largest gold dredger in the United States (now retired) at Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area. Trolling the nearby river for several decades, the dredger unearthed more than $4 million in gold. It was retired and neglected for several decades. In 1993, restoration began on it. Now it’s a state tourist attraction. You can walk on and inside it. We had it all to ourselves and it was cool and spooky at the same time. Only later did we learn there has been some paranormal activity that was captured by the crew of the Ghost Mine series (never seen the show). A nearby visitors center was small, yet had several neat mining displays and a wide range of mining related books, one of which I bought.
After our tour of the dredge, we decided to head for Catherine Creek State Park, but we could see that gathering storm clouds were going to make our stay there wet. So, we opted to head north to Immigrant Springs State Park, just off of I-84, to spend the night.
Immigrant Springs is a real nice campground, but it’s proximity to the interstate is not great. Fortunately, hanging out inside the camper isn’t too noisy.
Sunday afternoon, despite gusty winds, we took off for a short adventure to Clyde Holliday State Park. Driving south on I-82, mother nature toyed with us, rocking and pushing the motor home as we drove towards Oregon. Fortunately, the winds only lasted until we crossed the Columbia into Oregon. After that, it was a pretty calm drive.
Well, calm until I asked my navigator to tell me where to turn at one point; but, she was enjoying the drive and wasn’t watching the map closely. So, we added an extra 20 miles to the trip 🙂
With gray clouds and darkening skies, there wasn’t a lot to see. However, on a lonely road we drove past an even lonelier farm where we spotted two jeeps, one a wagon and a second an MB with a plow setup. Sitting there, it appeared all ready for another winter of plowing. Now, I have to apologize for the poor photos, as I broke Ann’s zoom lens and we have yet to get it fixed.
As darkness settled Sunday night, we still hadn’t reached the state park. We were climbing over one more mountain pass when we nearly hit a deer that casually walked out on the road and kept on approaching as I desperately prayed for the motorhome to stop. Finally, we stopped and the deer stopped at the same time. It looked at us with an air of disgust, then turned around and left. Poor Zollie the dog, he’d been sleeping between us, but the hard stop sent him tumbling to my feet. Like our hearts, his heart was beating pretty quickly. He was done sleeping for the rest of the drive.
As you can see in the pics, fall is definitely here. The leaves are dropping, as is the temperature. But, the state park is still beautiful and quiet. And, there’s plenty of wifi, so working in between walking, naps, and vicious card games is possible. We plan to stay through Monday night and then trying out the Shelton wayside near Fossil … or not.
We are in central Oregon sneaking in one last short camping trip before winter arrives. Enjoy some pics Charles forwarded!
Comedian Victor Borge didn’t find anything funny about his purchase of a Jeep fire engine. He has a poultry farm to protect! This article was published in the April 1956 issue of Willys News.
The November 30th, 1942, issue of Life Magazine featured this photo of soldiers pushing a jeep across a river in New Guinea.
This book, written in Dutch, follows the adventure of driving a jeep from Indonesia to Holland. Anyone ever read it?
“here we have a nice book on a dutch army guy who drives his ww2 jeep back to holland from indonesia
