“Complete. All parts are here. Was turning the flywheel to tighten bolts and it got stuck. Not sure what the problem is but there was no impact, just a slow turn by hand. Should be an easy fix. The previous owner told me that the engine had been rebuilt. I never got far enough to find out. It rolls and stops. The 12 volt battery is good. I bought a new regulator and stater for 12 volts. About $400 for those. Running would b worth over $5,000. I am thinking $3,000 or the best offer close to that. Clear title. Kept indoors.”

“Looking to sell this Willys. It is a 1953 CJ3B. It was running but now isn’t getting spark so I have ordered a distributor rebuild kit and will continue to try to get going again. Tires are mismatched and have dry rot but hold air. Tub is rough but has been patched and is usuable. Frame has surface rust but looks to be solid. Looks to be all there and has a clean Kentucky title. Has new brake lines, carb, newer wiring and battery and maybe a couple small things I’m forgetting. Located in Hyden KY and willing to help with shipping. Looking for 5500 or best offer. No trades.”

Summer 1974 “Life with Putt-Putt” Article

This article, and the short two page article that follows it, appeared in the Summer 1974 issue of The Milestone Car periodical. I’d never heard of this publication nor the associated “Milestone Car Society”.

Two Dealer-Focused Ads from 1953 and 1956

October 10, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here are tow ads directed at existing or potential dealers. The first is from Willys-Overland likely in early 1953 and can be found here on eBay. Note the lack of a CJ-3B within the jeep-family that is shown.

1953-willys-dealer-for-year-round-profit-magazine-ad

This second one (here on eBay) is reported to have been published in 1956, though it lacks the CJ-6 or DJ-3A, so maybe early 1956? What’s curious is that by this time, the new “Willys Motors” organization had refocused on the “Jeep” brand. So, to see the brochure specifically refer to “Willys”, especially as the car brand was abandoned, is especially odd. This kind of has a recycled feel, as if someone in a hurry re-used an early 1950s ad.

Maury shared this ebay auction. I wasn’t aware these existed. With 7 days left in the auction, the bidding has already reached $256!

“This is a: NOS 1960’s Jeep Dash Accessory COMPASS ASSEMBLY KIT Factory Part 933536 RARE. This compass is in good, unused condition and appears ready for installation. It shows no signs of ever being mounted or used. The compass is working well, as intended. This kit comes complete with mounting bracket and hardware.

The paperwork states this to be correct for J-Series applications and is dated 1963. This is a must have for any serious Jeep collector or restorer. This is the first new old stock Jeep compass I’ve come across in my many years of collecting parts. This will make a great addition to your classic restoration project.”

Vintage Signal Corps BC-659-J RAdio McLean, VA $550

October 10, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Parts This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
3

UPDATE: **SOLD**? Was $550.

“Vintage Signal Corps BC-659-J radio with with Signal Corps Case 79-A. The radio is missing some of the crystals and other components so not in working condition. The radio is period correct for WW2 military vehicles and Willys MB/GPW. I’m not sure if the Case 79-A is WW2 or post war. Both leather handles in nice shape and very solid, canvas straps and clips solid, power cables in great shape – nice and flexible.

Would like to sell as a set for $550 but can sell BC-659 radio separately for $450 and CS-79-A for $150.

Due to what the scammers get away with, am selling strictly as-is and as photographed with no returns, this is the exact set you will receive, please see the many photos for what is here, and ask any questions. LARGE AND HEAVY, will help pack it for for shipment (paid separately by the buyer) and of course local pick-up is always welcomed.”
