2 CJ-2A Weights Des Moines, IA $250

It looks like a good price for the pair. Thanks to Andy for spotting them.

https://desmoines.craigslist.org/pts/d/van-meter-willys-frame-weights/7689732781.html

“Willy’s front frame weights for the Agri-jeep / trenchers and even snow plows in great condition and can load for you ! If you have a new 2023 wrangler Willy’s sport the addition of just one of these weights to the back for traction this winter will make your new “Willy’s” 6.72% percent real Willy’s jeep and the envy of all your fellow “Willy’s” jeep compatriots ! Both weights will of course double the percentage but I must warn you that your head might explode with pride and I recommend just settling for the one ! Percentage will vary with make and model !”

1951 CJ-3A San Diego, CA $5500

The half cab looks home made to me. There’s a large dent in the driver’s side fender. I can’t tell if the floors have patches or if there is some garbage on the floor.

2007 5.3 V8 (I was told 60k miles) with Pacesetter headers and new HP 4L80E transmission and rebuilt transfer case. I have the engine computer that’s programmed and ready to run. New in Box Painless Wiring Kit (No. 60526) to run engine and transmission. Drive by wire pedal included. Hydroboost brake module (needs brake lines and hoses).

Frame is beautiful and of the finest quality set up for Fox coilovers (I have the fronts new in box). Custom brake pedal installed. Ididit steering column (shift on column) 90 % installed. Rebuilt Saginaw steering gear. JK seats. New body wiring harness.

Will sell for $11,500.00 less engine and transmission.”

May 1956 Willys News

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I thought I had posted this issue a few years ago, but somehow I missed it. So, here is the 8-page May 1956 issue of Willys News.

Page one highlights that thousands of feet of film was taken as part of creating new promo films for Willys Motors. No doubt that film is long gone. Page two has an article explaining the importance of jeeps to rural readers of North Carolina’s Statesville Record and Landmark newspaper. Page two also claims that the first registered CJ-2A appeared in Mt. Kisco, New York, a claim debated on this post.

Page three has a great photo of Bonner’s Willys Motors out of Texas, a part of which eventually became Barney’s Jeep Parts in Ohio. Page five indicates that at least 100 audio-visual wagons (though the paper calls them ‘trucks’) had been assembled. An article on Page six shares the news that Dispatchers were proving popular as delivery vehicles, with an accompanying testimonial from Carolina Tool.

Page seven highlights “Miss Maude”, an excerpt of which I posted back in 2014. Page eight covers the April 1956 Truth or Consequences “Journal de Jeeps” cross-country race.
