UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

(09/13/2013) It’s got some rust.

“Don’t know the year and has no title. Was running great in 1986, and has been stored under cover or in a barn since then. Has some body rust, but only minor surface rust on frame and drivetrain. Trans. won’t go in gear, but transfer case seems to shift normal. Motor turns over but has no spark. I just sold the property where this was stored and loaded it onto one of my trucks so I would like to go ahead and get this sold (it is outside now). Local delivery may be possible.”

UPDATE: Thanks for all the well wishes. We had a wonderful evening!  Next updates are Monday morning. I also picked up my T-18 from Daryl (thanks) and some assorted parts to help complete the drive train.

===========================================================================

Saturday was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

mom-dad-marriage

L to R: My mom’s sister Marilyn (AKA my book editor), Mom (Marjorie), Dad (Karl), and Dad’s brother B.B. This was taken on October 19, 1963, the date of their marriage.

We’ve traveled to the Seattle area to spend the weekend with family to celebrate, so eWillys will be a little disrupted until Monday morning’s posts. During our trip from Pasco to Seattle we detoured north to Wenatchee to pick up my great aunt. While there, we spotted a couple vintage jeeps (photos I’ll share on Monday). We even discovered (via the web) a “Jeepers It’s Bagels” Bagelry, which apparently has nothing to do with jeeps. Unfortunately, it will be closed by the time we arrive back in Wenatchee on Sunday to investigate.

This runs and drives.

“1982 Classic Mail Jeep. Model DJ-5L, Delivery Jeep. Once an official postal delivery truck. Equipped with steering on the right-hand side. One seat and lots of room for hauling. Locks up nicely.

This is a practical and fun vehicle! Starts good and runs good. The 4 cylinder engine is very sound and strong. Clean carburetor. Not bad on gas. Also has a good transmission system (automatic). 2 Wheel Rear Wheel Drive. Has many new parts installed still under warranty including: Alternator, Starter, Battery, Coil Pack, and Headlights. It also has a new Ignition Switch, new Spark Plugs, and new flashers. All lights and turn signals work great. Good heater. Brakes were recently redone. Tires decent.

Some things on this vehicle still need repair. Needs body work. Needs a wiper motor, needs a speedometer/odometer cable, and needs a floating sensor for the gas tank. Needs a new gas tank (the current tank holds gas but has a hole in the top part). The interior could use a little care; for example the seat is worn out and there’s a rust hole (2in. diameter) on the driver’s side wheel well. The body shows some rust, especially in the rear underneath. All original parts for this vehicle are available at PostalJeep.net.

Simple vehicle, easy to work on, enjoyable to drive, plenty of clearance for crawling underneath. Original mail tray, original key, original drivers manual included. Call 859-756-4191”

Blaine forwarded this ad.

“Generator is a U. S. Navy World War II era unit powered by a original Willy’s Jeep four cylinder engine. The Generator was manufactured by O;Keefe and Merrit. It appears to be a PE-95G 10 KW and is designated a U. S. Navy N-15. It will provide 120 or 240 Volts at 60 hertz. It is started by using the exciter field of the generator and not a separate engine starter. Most of these generators saw little use during WWII but were used extensively in the Korean and Vietnam wars. A unit almost identical to this one showed up on the TV show Mash in one episode. Own a piece of history!

Generator has two brand new 12 volt batteries. Also included so that one can operate “off the grid” or have a ready source to power a home or anything else is a:

This doesn’t run and the rear portion of the body isn’t original (or has been modified).

“Vintage 1949 Jeep Willys CJ3A; 2 door, hard top coupe; 6 volt, 4 cylinder engine, dual transmission.
Selling for $2500 OBO.

Bought this Jeep intending to fix it up, but never found the time. Everything on it is all original. The hard top feature is quite unique for Jeep Willys. The engine did run on last start up, but has not been maintained or started for several years- it does not currently run, but should start again with a small amount of work.

This would be a great restoration project for someone to take on, but it will require some time. Feel free to stop by and take a look. It is located about 6 miles northwest of Wausau, WI.

As it does not currently run, the buyer will need to make arrangements to haul or tow it.
Call 715-675-7576 for inquiries or to view. Do not respond via email.”

This had a CJ-3A Hardtop. Probably easier to get a 3A windshield than redo the hardtop to fit the 2A windshield. This has a variety of updates.

“Cheap Jeep!! Its been fun but I have decided to move on to other adventures and projects. Time to let this one go for which I will be taking a hit in the wallet of course. Can be driven but needs some work to make this a daily runner. Brakes work great with upgraded master cylinder, Cherokee pedals, hydraulic clutch, LED tail lights, growler siren for horn, and has a hood.

ARB lockers front and rear
On board air compressor
3 speed manual transmission
Chevy V6 229, nothing fancy
12V system and all rewired/updated
Rhino liner in the tub
12,000 lb winch
Hard top goes with but is from a CJ3 so needs mods ($$ invested)
Roll bar
Have electric wipers (not installed)
Other parts too.
Paint is John Deere Rustoleum yellow
Will consider trades but no junk.”

In case the ad gets deleted, here’s the full text and I pic. The jeep is priced at $1750.

Here’s the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee.  This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import.  It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It’s a Jeep.  It rides like a Jeep.  It drives like a Jeep.  All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used.  This will be apparent in the pictures.
