Builds: Hugo’s CJ-3A in Uruguay

UPDATE: You can see the final build here.

A citizen of Uruguay, Hugo recently contacted me to appropriately correct me from confusing a town, Londrinha,  that doesn’t exist in Puerto Rico with one that does exist in Brazil (In this case, I believe I can blame Google Maps for my error!).

Because of this error, I got to know a little more about Uruguay, which it turns out I didn’t really know that much about.  One cool thing I learned is a hand was installed on (or more accurately into) the Punta del Este Beach in 1982 by Chilean artist Mario Irarrazabal.  He titled it the Monumento al Ahogado (Monument to the Drowned).  Apparently, he did another, different hand in a Chilean desert.

Hugo reports that the jeeping is excellent in Uruguay, though he hasn’t had much of a chance to jeep this summer (it is summer there of course right now), because his CJ-3A is currently dismantled in his garage for repair.  However, he did forward this picture.  Thanks for sharing!

UPDATE:  This sold at the FC Round up in March 2011.

Kevin is selling his FC-170.  He writes, “I have for sale a rust free 1963 FC170. This truck has been hit in the driver’s door, I have pulled out most of dent from the door, it still needs someone to repair the cab door opening and then fit the door. This is an old plumbers truck from California and is rust free, someone has installed a V-8 ford motor I think it is a 289 A real nice installation job It has a 4-speed transmission with 427 gears so it goes down the road real nice the dash has been changed out too not sure why but it looks cool almost factory. This truck runs and drives great I have driven it a number of times with the door off around my area. People tend to look at you funny driving around on the freeway without a driver’s door I’m asking $6200 or best offer. ”

1942 MB Ramona, Ca **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

This body was widened 6″ … was it done because they could?  Also, the rear appears to have been cut and a custom extension added (I don’t think that’s the bolt on extender I’ve seen other some other jeeps).

“The body was widened about 6 inches by Southwestern College years ago. It really is a nice configuration. I have the original military air cleaner setup. It has been converted to 12-volt alternator electrical. The rest of the drive train is stock with the flathead four and works great. The tow bar works great and uses a 1 7/8″ ball. I am selling because I need the covered parking space and my son, who loved and cared for it, will be out of the country for years. Driven regularly. Clean title. 4-wheel drive works fine. Lots of fun! $3500 firm.”

Mike asked me to post his 1946 CJ-2A for sale.

He writes, “It’s been rebuilt from the ground up, almost all original, and runs and climbs like a damn billy goat! The windshield is off a newer willys, the previous owner did this. I put in the new gauges.

The previous owner had a 1/2 inch solid square steel rod installed around the edge, he said he thought the steel was flimsy there, and when he took his grandkids wheelin’, when they were climbin in and out of the Willy’s he wanted it stronger and more rigid. Very nicefully done.”

1946 CJ-2A Mason, Tx eBay …. Museum Quality?

January 22, 2011 • CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
2

This appears to be a solid jeep that was restored with care.  But, to label this ‘museum quality’ is, well, to put it gently — with great restraint — is inaccurate (for starters, too many non-original parts).  Also, ‘Light Green’ is not one of three colors of a 1946 CJ-2A of that vintage (that is, post vin#38221); instead there were 6 color schemes (all listed at the CJ-2A Page’s history section).

“For sale is a restored 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A.  The Jeep’s body and visible parts were restored to show quality.  All engine parts were kept spec.  Jeep runs great and is stored in a garage all year long. The following is a list of stock parts and upgrades: Complete engine restoration, New windshield, New gauges, New Paint (1946 Light Green) one of 3 original colors, 4 New Non-Directional Tires, New gas tank, New brakes (Hand brake also works).  Odometer was not working when the vehicle was bought.  It is unknown how long the odometer was not working.  Odometer has since been fixed.  Approximately 50 miles or less on the restored motor.”

(12/15/2010) This looks in decent condition, but needs some work.

Rudolf, a native of Holland, has moved to the island of Bali in Indonesia.  There, he stumbled on this unusual 6×6 last month.  Well, I guess he has found some other WWII flatties.  He thought readers might be interested in purchasing them if the export/import can be worked out.

Here’s a 1944 MB he found:

Steve spotted this, noting that the seller says the top is leather.  That would seem unusual.

“Over $20,000 invested in this frame off full restoration. New paint Fall 2008. New wiring package. Rope gaskets changed out with rubber to stop garage leaks. Runs like a top. $1200 leather top and doors. Ziebart undercarriage protection for corrosion. Call for a test drive. Must sell. Will email more pictures direct if requested. Perfect Willy to put in a parade, do work on the farm, or drive into town to get a gallon of milk.”

This runs.  It might be good price.  Maybe its my eyes, but there are a few details that suggest this needs a closer look (the mbish tow bar, the lack of holes for the front parking lights, and the gas inlet seems a little small), but maybe I’m just sleepy.

1952 M-38A1 Phoenicia, NY **SOLD**

January 20, 2011 • CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“For your consideration a 1952 Willys M38a1 military jeep.   Serial  # 17543,  dod.  9/52, making it an early example with the thumbscrew battery box lid, hinged front grill,  rare original slanted seam front fenders, and the narrow early bumper undamaged.

Runs great, with no smoke or knocks. The engine is totally original with the 24 volt system and all waterproof accessories (distributor, carb, generator, regulator). Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and quietly. Brakes are inoperative due to bad master cylinder.

Was a municipal vehicle used for off road search and rescue (seldom)   It was well maintained and not abused, spent most of its time in storage. Has the original seats, cushions, rear seat, and 50’s dated tires. (pass seat not shown but included)  Body has very minimal rust, surface rust  mostly in a few spots, and a couple small dings. Frame and springs are excellent. Has all original dashboard and data plates.  Windshield frame is very good shape also.

Would make an excellent easy restoration candidate, as it has not been modified in civilian hands. Never had a snowplow mounted. Never had locking hubs installed. Never been registered on the road.  Has one of the best original condition body’s that I have seen”
