Parting Willys Wagon Wilmore, KY

Tim forwarded this parts rig.

“I’m getting ready to scrap an old 1948 or 1949 Willys station wagon. There isn’t much on it that is any good at all, except for the desirable Overdrive transmission. It I’m pretty sure the trans is a T-96 model. The trans is still in the car, and you will have to remove it yourself.

Want to buy the transmission?
Bring your tools and $75 cash.

Want to buy the whole car?
Bring a trailer, your own wheels and tires and $76 cash.

Want to buy the whole Willys and the dolly that it is sitting on?
Bring your own wheels and tires and $425 cash?

Just to be perfectly clear, there is no way that the wheels and tires are going with this. I need them for another vehicle. The wheels are 5 bolt with a 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern, the same as Ford Rangers, Crown Victorias, Mercury Marquis, etc.”

Lee’s decided to sell his CJ-2A.

“This is a 1947 CJ 2 A. This Jeep was bought new  in Calif.by the Edison Co.  and used for four years and then sold. My friend bought it from the Edison Co. in Calif. and then took it up to his cabin in the Sierra mountains and used it.  It was stored in a shed when not used. Then it was moved  to his hangar and stored and that is where it is now.  That was 49 years ago! I am the third owner since new. I have owned this Jeep for over 8 year. This Jeep has very little rust. I had the rims  sand blasted and painted and installed 5 new tires and tubes.

5 new tires and tubs
rims sand blasted and painted
very little rust
not running
$4,700.00 or trade for 1978 to 1985 CJ 7”

Jeep Rustling by the Navy

July 7, 2014 • CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features, Old News Articles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This article shares some of the jeep rustling that went on during WWII. One of protections against rustling that I’ve encountered is that driver’s would grab the rotor from the distributor to keep other military folks from stealing their jeeps.

Note that the ice cream story from yesterday has expanded to five gallons!

Jeep lashed to Submarine Deck

Yesterday I featured an ad that related a story about jeeps lashed to the decks of Submarines.

This article was published in the February 10, 1944 issue of the Eugene Register Guard:

1944-02-10-eugene-register-submarine-jeep

I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:

1944-01-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck

 

 

 

And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle:  1944-02-10-jeep-lashed-to-deck

 

 

And, on a note of trivia, I found this gem at an archived site:

In World War II, Burton Baskin of Baskin Robbins fame, was a quartermaster who began his ice cream career by trading a jeep for an ice cream freezer

Now, I don’t know if that’s true as I couldn’t verify it anywhere else, but a fun fact if true.

1950? Photo of Kachin Tribe and Allies on eBay

The date on this photo is January 1950. If so, these guys are part of the fight against China rather than Japan. Therefore this is more likely a WWII photo.

“KACHIN TRIBESMEN OF NORTH BURMA AID ALLIES IN WAR AGAINST THE JAPANESE”
Jeep drivers pause at an overnight shelter during a long run through a Japanese-held jungle. Kachin forces use airplanes, jeeps, mules and elephant to negotiate the remote jungle trails in their relentless stalking of the Japanese.”

It’s got a few issues, but runs and drives.

“I have for sale a 1982 AMG Jeep DJ 5. It is right hand drive and has large, sliding doors — making it perfect for use as an icecream truck or something like that. It is also just a cool car in general. Definitely unique, definitely turns heads on the street (and that was before the paint job!). It runs well and is really fun to drive. However, it does have a couple issues too: the electronics are funky. The lights and gauges work off-and-on. I also only have the keys for ignition and driver-side door. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago and is still in very good shape.

I will also be including with the car a set of four studded tires (good condition) and (if you want it) a collection of misc parts and equipment for the car.”
