1947 CJ-2A Ventura, CA $4700
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.

Jeep Rustling by the Navy
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:
I found this article on page 5 of the January 10, 1944, edition of the Southeast Missourian Newspaper:
And from page 2 of the February 10, 1944, issue of the Spokane Daily Chronicle:
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.
Jim Beam Jeep City Pin on eBay
This is an unusual piece. Looks like a CJ-5 design.
“This is a lapel pin for the Jim Beam Collector clubs. This one is “Jeep City” the image is a vintage Jeep for the design.”
Photo of Soldier and Jeep on eBay
The hardtop on this looks unusually tall, but the solider looks pretty tall as well. This includes a good shot of the front mud flaps.
“Original Vintage Photo WWII US Army Soldier Man & Enclosed Cab Military Jeep. Photo Size is 5×7 inches.”
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.”

1982 DJ-5 Seattle, WA **Status Unknown** Was $1800.
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.”
