By Jeep to Freedom: Woolf Blint’s Amazing Tale from WWII
October 9, 2013 • CATEGORIES: Books, Features, Reader Stories This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE 2: This is a hard book to find.
UPDATE: I just finished reading this book. I was hooked from page 1. It’s an amazing tale about a man who starts the war in Norway as a Commando whose team is trying to disrupt Nazi attempts to create an Atomic bomb. Soon, he is fighting in North Africa, where he becomes a POW. Eventually he escapes and becomes a medic at the Russian front for the Russians as they advance westward. Some of the details are surprising and unexpected. While with the Russians he finds a jeep. Commandeering it, he begins a risky trek westward with a questionable priest.
Copies of the book can be found:

“1952 US Army M38A1 Willys Jeep
A running, driving 1952 M38A1 Jeep. It has been restored, but it is an older restoration. It has been a fun around town driver for me for the last year and a half. It is not perfect, but it is a complete, original (as in all the parts are there) jeep. Has a rarer depot rebuilt engine. Leave as, tinker with on the weekends, or do a complete tear down. Still has the 24v electrical system. All fluids changed when I bought it. Tires have age cracking. Have a new set of rubber brake lines.”

Mark just posted this over at warjeeps.com.
“This rare seat came out of a 1952 M38A1 and it will also work in an M38 Military Jeep as well. It has the original canvas bottom seat but is missing the back cushion. The bottom seat canvas cushion is in good condition for being 61 years old and C Frame is in good condition as well. I am asking $350.00 …a fair price.”

Steve forwarded this ad. The motor is seized.
“This is a engine from a 1940 Willys Americar model 440, although I think it was last in a Willys Jeep because of the CJ2A motor mounts and oil pan. It has some unusually characteristics, like the head, dipstick, manifolds, carburetor etc..
IT DOES NOT RUN! It is seized from sitting. Make no mistake, this engine is for parts or rebuild only.
