“Here is a Running 1961 Willys DJ3A. This is a Numbers Matching unit which only 1542 were made. Has Firewall Tag which matches Frame Number, and the Original 134 Flathead Engine it was built with. Painted Military over very poor body work by an old soldier who wanted parade use. New tires on very scarce original wheels, It’s ready to go while you make it better.

Terry’s CJ-3B
Terry bought this running late model CJ-3B for a great price, then doubled his investment in the jeep by fixing it up and adding some fun extras like rear duallies, a hardtop, and rope (just for kicks). Despite the additions, almost none of it altered the original jeep he bought. He says the changes made the jeep popular with folks and 99% of people didn’t realize it was not a military jeep.
The other day he went into a dealership and the dealer offered to buy it. Though not planning to sell the jeep, the amount offered by the dealer, double Terry’s entire investment in the jeep, was too good to refuse, so he sold the jeep. With his new found cash, he picked up a wagon that he plans to restore. Here are a few pics of the CJ-3B.

1946 Jeep Herder Movie Pics **SOLD**
August 25, 2018 • CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
UPDATE II: Here are pics of the Ford Pygmy and Ford Budd to use for comparison with the jeep in the movie. To me it looks like the film makers built a custom vehicle based on the Ford Budd, which Maury points out, in the comments section below, was in Hollywood at the time.
FORD BUDD:
FORD PYGMY:
Note the differences between the two above and the “jeep” below: Angle of the steering wheel, position of the front fenders vis-a-vis the hood, length of cowl at the step, the rolled edges of the body (same as Budd, Pygmy didn’t have them), short rear handle of the Pygmy (Budd had long hand), incorrect hubs .. I wonder if that is a Bantam chassis?
====================================
ORIGINAL POST … these photos were sold on eBay: Thanks to Maury for spotting these pics from the Jeep Herders movie. There are a couple Ford GPs pictured. I’m not sure what’s going on with the side of the Ford GP. Looks like it is similar to the original Pygmy GP.
“Originally by Planet Productions, 1946, re-released by Astor Pictures in 1949. Story is returning vets use Jeeps to herd cattle.”

1963 FC-170 Joplin, MO $5500
August 25, 2018 • CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
I think the seller is a little understated when he indicates that this is an “easy restoration”.
https://joplin.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-fc170/6677077052.html
“I have a very nice original Jeep FC170 for sale. It does not have the usual rust that these trucks normally have. It is a complete truck of sorts, it has a GMC 9′ bed instead of a Jeep bed. The FC170 beds are now available as a reproduction on EBAY. This truck also has the PTO on it. 16″ tires as well. It sports the 6 cylinder engine. This would be an easy restoration. Please see my other listings for FC’s. I am moving and cannot take them with me.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“1965 Jeep Willy’s. 4×4
All original except the gas tank which is new a few years ago that I purchased from the Kaiser Willy’s catalogue. I inheirited it from uncle 8 years ago. It just sits in the barn. It never has had a flat tire on these heavy ol’ bias ply tires. It really needs a Willy’s enthusiast’ attention or a deer lease to call home. Will start and run but definitely needs a tune up. I used to fire it up and cruise up and down our road but I haven’t started it since last winter though because I’m too lazy. It does have a new interstate battery In it. Dust from sitting in the barn will be part of the package deal.
Title in hand!”
