VEEP Brochure and Assembly Instructions

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, VEEP (VW Jeep), Scamp, Others This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul was kind enough to share this very rare Hadley Engineering VEEP brochure in the hopes that it helps the VEEP owners out there who struggle to find information about their vehicle. Below are photos of the basic brochure. I also have assembly instructions that I haven’t scanned yet. Great stuff! One unique item I hadn’t notice before was the stamped ‘VEEP’ in the hood. I’ve never seen that in any production VEEPs. If you ever run across a hood with VEEP stamped in it, I’d be interested to get some photos.

Crosley ‘Pup’ Variant – Photo on eBay

This appears to be a variant of the Crosley Pup (see post from Jan 1). The size, the front end and the wheels look similar. The fenders are rounded. Possibly it is a prototype?

Not sure if perching a jeep on jerry cans was an approved mechanical strategy, but seems to work for these guys. I don’t remember ever seeing that done.

Year? CJ-5 Hunting Project Mirando City, TX on eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller labels this a 1945 Military Jeep M-38. It looks more like a non-military CJ-5. Someone went all out with the deer blind mods! Definitely one-of-a-kind!

“Today we have for sale a Military Willys M38 Jeep that was converted and used as a deer blind for hunting in south Texas.

The engine was removed after an attempt to restore the jeep but it has been left unattended for a long time. Situations in the family changed that won’t allow this to happen.

1946 VEC CJ-2A California eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks great, though I’m a little surprised it wasn’t redone with the column shift. That got me thinking, was it possible to order an early CJ-2A with a floor shift?

“Very early production with matching numbers. This Jeep has undergone a complete ground-up restoration to original condition. It has the original 134cid 4 cylinder engine and T90 3-speed manual transmission with T-18 Spicer transfer case. Each and every piece on the classic Jeep has been dissembled, media blasted, rebuilt, reconditioned or replaced to achieve its as new condition. This Jeep has been finished in the correct Pasture Green color with Autumn Yellow wheels with Pasture Green pinstripe. This Jeep has less than 100 miles since restoration. Upgrades include stainless steel valves with hardened seats for unleaded fuel, carburetor (original included) and transfer case counter shaft upgrades.

1948 Photos of Everglades Tamiami Arch Everglades on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Anyone ever seen a grille guard quite like this one? It has kind of a Road Warrior feel to it in the first photo.

“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken from 1948 to about 1950 of, what seems to be, the same Jeep (or similar) parked in the shade under the Collier Archway on the Tamiami Trail at the Collier County and Dade County lines in the Everglades National Park. We don’t know if the officer in the swamp prepared Willys Jeep with large police light on the front is a Park Ranger, Sheriff’s Deputy or Police Officer. He is parked on the Dade County side but they may just be because of the shade. One of the photos is marked “1948” on the back and the other two are not marked. However, one of the unmarked ones has the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermark on the back which would place at least to 1950 and the Jeep now has a radio in the front center of the roof which is not present in the other two photos. The approx. measurements range from 3.25″ x 3.5″ to 3.5″ x 5″. The photos are in bright clean condition though two have been clipped, there is photo paper curl, some scuffing and crinkle. Please view the edge to edge images below for further details on condition and image quality. The thin white vertical lines are artifacts of our scanner and not actually on the photos. If you are interested in original historic Everglades snapshots from the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s, please check our other listings as we have a few more to sell.”

1946 CJ-2A Valrico, FL $3500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available

(12/11/2013) The title is from Colorado.

“Check it out! This is a titled 1946 CJ2A SN#14264. Body in fair condition but will need some patching. This is a Colorado CJ, the steel is bent in places but hardly any rust – this is solid steel. The body is complete – tub, fenders, grill, hood, and windshield. Wheels, axles, steering intact, this thing rolls and steers. A previous owner added the rollbar and aftermarket seats, but this could be returned to original or customized. Has original motor and transmission. Vehicle started when I got it in January 2013.

I bought this vehicle for my own restoration but my project is headed in a different direction now. This is a great find for a restoration – why buy a flimsy repli-tub for $3500 when you can have a solid original for less?

Vehicle has a clear Colorado title.

Buyer must pick up. No delivery. Reasonable offers considered. Serious offers only. Reply to this post with a good e-mail address and phone number. I will send photos to serious buyers.”
