It runs.  According the Ad title this was used by the Navy; I wonder if it includes a Navy plate of some type.

“This is a mostly original military jeep. looks like a CJ-5. It runs. needs a little brake work to drive. Body is really rough. it would make a great resto project or drive as is. Or trick it out. great project jeep. comes with a tow bar.”

It was last used in 1990.Original equipment, 226 six cylinder with 3 speed and Dana 18 transfer case, the cab is over 50 years old, it needs some body work, fortunately it is not rusted out beyond repair, because it was previously painted with house paint. It also needs some flat glass but the windshield is good. It has a rolling chassis, with steering. It does not run, it does not have seats, no radiator, no carburator, or no aircleaner.
It has a matching AZ title. I can sell the rest of what is left, for $1100.

Commuter FC Photos at theFCConnection

Craig managed to snag some vintage concept Commuter FC photos off of eBay recently.  He’s organized and posted them at http://thefcconnection.com/the_commuter.htm along with a brief history.  The quality of these photos are excellent and could provide clues to recreating one of these, should someone have the money, time, and energy to tackle the project.  The whereabouts of the three concept vehicles produced are unclear.

Here’s an image of one of prototype #2:

Sunday Morning nowhere near the Island of La Grande Jatte

Sebastian has been busily exploring Pennsylvania in his CJ-3B.  Last Sunday morning he had breakfast with his wife and a friend in a park.  I was reminded of George Seurat’s famous painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.  Inspired, I attempted to create a version of that using Sebastian’s photo, but I believe it was a failure as you can see below.  You can view the real version of this photo and more at his website.

He writes, “We did a breakfast picnic in a park last sunday with my wife Ana and a friend.  During the picnic I realized that this was getting very close to a part of your book when you had breakfast in a park with “Virginia”, and you were even wearing an orange shirt!, haha, I hope that is were the similarities end. Anyway, it was a great day, and beautiful to take the willys out for this.”

Feb 1949 Popular Science Weatherproofing Hint

Dexter spotted this 1949 issue of Popular Science at a local swap meet the other day.  A reader of the magazine sent in an idea for waterproofing a jeep for only $.75.  Not a bad price.  Probably wouldn’t cost much more today.  Note that it was in 1949 that the CJ-3A came out with a mini gutter to distribute water similar to the role the weather stripping hint accomplishes.  I still have one of those gutters if anyone needs it.

And some other neat hints that aren’t jeep related

The eMB from MD Juan

Alex spotted an article about eMBs. The Electric MB is supposed to be made to order and cost 755.000 PhP, which is about $18,500.  I did not see the electric jeep listed at MD Juan’s website, though I didn’t do an exhaustive search.

According to this excerpt from the article, “the [electric] Willy’s MB which will be powered by a 4-kilowatt, 48-volt electric motor deriving energy from eight units 6-volt batteries. Its manufacturer – MD Juan Enterprises – calls it the eMB.

The new model of the vintage MacArthur jeep, the latest product of MD Juan Enterprises and PhUV, Inc., made it debut last week at the Philippine Die and Mould Association exhibit at the World Trade Center. The body of the electric MB was made using locally-made dies and moulds and manufactured in MD Juan’s stamping plant.”

Here’s the official press release from MD Juan.
