1942 MB/GPW Modesto, CA **SOLD**

1

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

This is a mix of parts.

“Here is GPW 7608. This is one of the very early and rare jeeps built by Ford but they did not have any frames so they had to put them on Wills MB frames. This jeep came from the factory in February or March 1942 having a Ford body on a Willys frame. This jeep is a very desirable jeep once restored and it will need a full restoration. It has Ford front seats, early axles, radiator, Ford GPW engine but missing the pistons, Ford GPW head, T-84 transmission case with no gears, Ford GPW transfer case and some data plates. The center nomenclature plate is missing but does exist in the collection of a very well known WWII Jeep supplier in Oregon and may become available. I will provide the name and details to the winning bidder. A photo is shown in the data base on the G503 web site. There is no title but I can obtain one if it is needed to be shipped overseas(for extra cost). I can haul this jeep to the port in Oakland for the cost of my gas. Shipping overseas is no problem at all and I have a great shipping company I can recommend.”

Eric’s ’46 CJ-2A Runs for the First Time in Years

Just look for the smile after Eric gets done driving. You can tell he is very pleased about saving this jeep.

He writes, “After several years of sitting and hard work behind a plow in West Virginia, I saved this Jeep from a fate worse than death. Now alleviated of it’s burden and with a rebuild carb, cleaned out fuel tank an fresh battery it now moves around as it should. It was great driving a CJ2A again after 30 years.”

You can see another ’46 he picked up that included a PTO and Lift, though it had no engine.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000

This fiberglass bodied jeep includes an overdrive. It hasn’t been touched in a while, but there appears to be value here.

“53 Willys Jeep. Project. Set up for small Chevy. 3 speed manual tranny. Dana 18 with Warn O/D. Fiberglass body. Stock Dana axles. Stock Willys frame. Has not ran in probably decades. Purchased by my late Father in the early 90’s, and put where it sits. Original Vin plate intact. Hasn’t been tagged since 1988. Definitely a project. Will NOT part out.

Was told the little Chevy in it, is a 327. But I have no way to confirm it. If interested, you would need to come look at it. Like I said, it’s a project. It’s being sold as is. Have not been able to find the title, but I am looking. It existed at one time. $1000 obo. The Vin alone is worth….”

The winch alone is worth several hundred dollars. The engine runs, but the steps are rough.

“1953 Willys CJ3B. This has been a project that has sat in my garage for the last 20 years with basically no further progress. It has a Buick V6 225 in it that runs. I have the original paperwork from the release from the governement for it as well. I just need to gain the space back that I have lost in my shop. I also have four swamp tires for it when I originally received it from Alaska that I’ll throw in as well.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

(03/17/2013) The body appears to be a replacement. For some reason, it’s dented near the top of the dash. I’ve never seen that.  It’s a no reserve auction starting at $200.

“1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A

Titled as a 1951 (Can not guarantee the exact year) See the Vin number on the photo of the title. Might be able to look it up in a registry.

This Jeep was bought as a project about 10 years ago and do not have room to store it any longer. It has been sitting in California for the last 10 year. Purchased from a Farm in the Midwest. It sat in the barn untouched for 30 years. Was running 10 years ago but is not currently running now. Might just need a battery and a tune up to get it running. Brakes are bad and needs a full restoration. Would be a great project car as it has really good bones. There is some rust on the exterior and on the undercarriage but not that bad. Body is pretty straight.”

Gobex Leisure Buggies – South Africa

gobex_logoUPDATE: The status of Gobex is unknown. Their website is no longer active.

Here’s a couple unusual fiberglass, rear engine powered jeeps sold by a South African company called Gobex.  These are updated versions of the VEEP.  This might make a fun, different, race jeep body.   The exchange rate between the US dollar and the South African Rand is approx $100 – R863, so the CJ2 Jade Jeep Kit costs R14,615 or $1697.68.

“MISSION:  To become the leading provider of beach buggies, both long wheel base and short wheel base units. We manufacture the popular CJ2 and CJ6 replica Jeeps.  The Company started in 1983 as Steve’s buggies on the South Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal South-Africa. Over the years, as part of ongoing researh and development, a number of products have been refined and manufactured.”

R&Ps New Dual Master Kit

John Vahey, from R&P 4WD, and I have been exchanging emails ever since the company started advertising on eWillys. We finally got a chance to meet at Brian’s in Kennewick a couple days ago. John wanted to share with me R&Ps cool new Dual Master Kit for vintage jeeps. To help promote  its launch, R&P will be donating the kit as part of a contest eWillys will be holding next month. I’ll describe more about the contest later and will be announcing the winner at the Willys Spring Reunion in May (you won’t have to be at the reunion to win).

r-p4wd-dual-master-kit

One of the slick parts about this system is the simple way it mounts. You actually use the bracket itself as a template using the clutch bar (see pics below).  If you want to learn more, you can contact R&P at 503-557-8911 or through its contact page.

Brian mounted the kit and recorded his experience yesterday. He posted pictures and a review at his facebook group, Jeep Thing. Here is his review:

John said it would take about 4 hours. To the average guy, in his driveway, this job will take 4 hrs. The best part was the engineering and attention to detail, oh and the great directions. Hell the entire thing is great. NO frustration factor! This thing is a pleasure to install and looks very clean. R & P hit this one out of the park!”

Here the pictures Brian took of the mounting process. He is testing this out on his M-38A1 project.

Note how the bracket uses the clutch bar to line up the bracket in the proper place for drilling.
