UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
“I bought this about 15 years ago and it has been a blast. I have a large farm and we used it to cruise around here and taught my kids how to drive on it. It runs excellant and has the original Hurricane 4 cyl. Red Devil engine with a 3 spd. Trans. The tires are great, but as you can see they are not original equip. Recently installed entire brake system. We would use this to ride around at hunting season and the occassional trip down to the local watering hole. It has been great to us and has always started and never left us stranded. It truly is a great piece of history that would make an excellant canidate for restoration or use as is. We have had our fun with it but just don’t use it much anymore so it is time for it to go to a new owner.”

“Unrestored, original 26K miles, 1955 Willy’s CJ3B Jeep. The original owner was a doctor who bought the jeep as a hunting rig in 1955. The second owner purchased it for the same purpose, hunting. He had his mechanic look it over prior to each season. 3-4 years ago he stopped hunting and parked it. As a precaution, I oiled the cylinders and it turned freely. I bought it intending to restore it, but find I do not have the time. I was told it needed brakes. It has 16″ military tires on it which are in good condition. Tow bar is included. I am asking 3,000.00 O.B.O. No e-mails.”

I had 3 ‘what was someone thinking’ moments while looking this jeep over. Moment 1, what’s with the diamond plating under the bumper? Moment 2, did someone paint the data plates on the dash? Moment 3, what’s going on with the metal tubing that goes up from one step, around the windshield, and down to the other step?
Last Ride: 194? MB/GPW Mailbox — Secaucas, NJ
June 17, 2009 • CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), Last Ride, MB • TAGS: Stock. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE: I suspect this jeep is on it’s last ride. It’s now a mailbox.
A reader submitted this unusual find. Yes, the seller of this old jeep somehow used it as a mailbox (I think the mailbox is on the back of the jeep), though technically I’d argue the jeep is more of a mailbox pole. While I firmly believe that the jeep has earned the reputation as one of the most modified vehicles in history, the use of a jeep as a mailbox pole is particularly rare.
“Willys jeep. Military, of about 1944. No engine, no trans, no papers, but lots of rust. For a long time I used this old jeep as a mail box; if you buy it, I won’t be getting bills anymore. For $400., you can be sure that your bills will find their way to your door.”
1946 CJ-2A VEC San Jose, Ca $4000
UPDATE: During the math portion of my analysis below, I forgot the serial numbers started at 10,000, so there was more like 28,000 column shift CJ-2As. Thanks for spotting this Lee!
Here’s a VEC with a serial number of 15777. According to the CJ-2A page, the number of column shifting CJ-2As was more like 28,000 jeeps 38,000 rather than 15,000 mentioned by the seller.
“Serial number 15777, CJ2A with 3-on the tree. Very rare as only about 15,000 produced with the gear shifter on the column. Great for rock crawling as you can keep both hands on the steering wheel while shifting gears. Runs good, has good tires. I use it in the mountains near Lake Tahoe during the summer months and store it at my house in San Jose during the winter months. I also used it to pull floats in parades, but no longer retain current DNV registration. I put new Ford/Chevy large brakes on the front axle, replaced brake shoes on the rear. I also replaced the oil bath air filter and old filter systems. I have all original older parts plus some spare stuff. Email me for more info and pictures. Mike”

My Build: A Center Console
June 14, 2009 • CATEGORIES: Biscuit This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
I made more progress this weekend on the jeep. Most importantly, I planned and excecuted a design for my center console.
My center console stands between the front seats. It’s purpose was two-fold: 1, provide a place for me to put power and ignition/kills switches, along with a start button, and, 2, provide a more accessible location for plugging in my cell phone (which will sit, along with a few other items, in a compact water proof bike bag that I can easily remove).
Now you ask, and reasonably so, why install a start button and switches when you have a perfectly good key switch on the steering column?
Well, that’s a good question. There’s only one answer. I always wanted a jeep that started with a simple push button. So, I just had to get that urge out of my system. Trust that the key solution would have been easier, as my wiring harness was all set up for a GM column. This meant I had to remove the GM plugs from the harness, decode the wiring, and rewire the critical wires to the correct points in the center column.
With that said, here’s my console:
After considering a variety of designs, I came up with this simple post and console design.
Below are the steps for cutting out the back of the console. I had an old hood that I have been using for some spare sheet metal. Below is the paper template on the hood. Also on the hood is the bent and drilled console.
Next, I cut out the metal using a grinder with a cutting wheel. Then I used a paint remover on my grinder to remove the paint.

The images are a bit tiny to tell much. I’m not a big fan of the paint job, but other than that this might not be a bad price.
“1953 CJ3B Navy Jeep. Still has Navy ID and information tag on the dash. Jeep is in fantastic mechanical condition. It is currently titled & licensed and I drive it daily. Does not use oil or smoke. Motor and drive train work flawlessly except for 2nd gear. Like 75% of old jeeps, it pops out of 2nd gear when decellerating. Odometer only shows 2870 miles and it works, but I can not verify that those are the correct miles. Brakes stop it straight and fast. All turn signals and lights work. Has been converted to 12volts. Has 4 new military type non directional tires on 16″ stock rims. The spare is a newer 16″ rough tread on a split rim wheel. All guages work. Has lock out hubs & a tow bar. Call 740-448-2600 if you have any questions. Thank you.”

“Free 1947 Willys CJ2A. This is free because it has almost no usable parts.No engine or tranny.Body and frame are rotted. It’s basically just scrape metal. It does have the original matching front and rear axle. Most everything else has been removed or is rusted away. Front tires and wheels are not included. You will need a trailer or flatbed to take it away.
