Travis spotted this project.

https://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/d/cj-3a-jeep-willys/6531339213.html

“This jeep is fresh from storage and will make a great summer project. It was last registered in 1987, I have owned it for several years and never got around to repairing it to its former glory. The frame is in really good condition. The body is starting to show its age so it has some rust patches, if you know these Jeeps you know that they were originally mounted with wood therefore the metal around the wood rusted from the moisture. I think the original color was red, but when I got it it had been painted blue. It was sold to me on bill of sale only. It is missing the engine. But it has the transmission and both axles.”

I spotted this CJ-3A the other day. I didn’t ask about the price. I *think* it had an l-head if I remember correctly. It does have the serial number tag. I was in the middle of taking pics when a guy came up and asked me questions about it, which distracted me.

“1947 Willy’s cj2a – clean title 289 or 302
yes there’s a v8 in this little Betty. still has the 3 speed and transfer case. So here’s the back story on this piece of American history. In 1990 it was a running machine. Then the body was taken off the frame – both were stored in a shed until a year ago, while it sat the aftermarket gas tank, gauges, starter and steering column went missing. The motor turns over by hand. This is a project. like I said it’s been sitting since 1990. I’m asking 1600 open to offers or trades.”

Just A Couple of Updates

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’m in Salt Lake for a couple days, spending time with my kids. Karson took me mountain biking on Antelope island, which sits in the Great Salt Lake. He managed not to kill this semi-out-of-shape old man. But, it’s clear he is in better shape than I. Here are a few photos.

Yep, we’ve been riding uphill for quite a while … yep, those are bison ahead. I am too tired to outrun them at this point. My hope was that they would take pity on me and not chase me down.

We made it to the top of a hill. That’s the Wasatch Front in the background. Most of the rest of the trip was downhill.

Jeep Commercial: 66 Years of fun

• CATEGORIES: videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost. 

If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.

On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees.  My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego.  Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant.  It turns out ..  well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe).  OOOPPPSS!  I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story).  So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!

Anyway, enjoy the video:

Geoff wants to let folks know about a friend of his who makes wood jeeps. If you are interested, email Fred at fredmaybee@Yahoo.com. It looks good!

“The following pictures are of a wooden Jeep that I had purchased from a local gentleman.  He charges $30 plus shipping per copy for common wood.  Prices go up depending on the choice of specialty species of wood, to cover the cost of the raw materials.”

2013-fcroundup-jeeps2

15th ANNUAL JEEP FORWARD CONTROL ROUNDUP
March 23-25, 2018 1600 W.
Colter St. Phoenix, Arizona 85015

This is your personal invitation to the “Most Excellent” FC-Only event. We invite all FC Owners and friends of Jeep Forward Controls.

It is our pleasure to invite you, with or without your Vehicle. This is where you will see some of the best authentic and original restored, ongoing projects or modified FC and FleetVans. You can learn a lot in a weekend, see the Military models of FCs, take detailed pictures, talk to other owners. Bring your FC items, toys, memorabilia, photos, artwork, literature, and manuals to display. See new FC related products and parts and special tools. FC Roundup event hats, T-shirts, will also be available. There is no charge for the event.

We are always so very grateful for your donation of any FC related items that are given away during the Saturday afternoon free raffle. Also on Saturday are the large BBQ Hot Dogs and much more, for lunch. Free refreshments daily. One of the best things that happens everyday, is that you are also invited to drive your FC / FleetVan or you might ride in an FC. We have FC-Only groups that cruise to and from breakfast and dinner.

It is important that I mention that our weekend is a very busy time for the Phoenix area, the best weather, Spring Training, and many other events. So book your hotel, before they are sold out. The nearby Grand Canyon University, (GCU Hotel on the internet) is the favorite. The 502 Hotel is now closed down. There are other hotels along the NW light rail route that comes from the Phoenix international Airport. Call me for transportation from the Montebello / 19th Ave. light rail terminal stop and for more information about anything, contact me.

“I am reluctantly offering up my 1948 Willys cj2a don’t have to sell it but putting it out there if someone is interested I received this Jeep in Fairly neglected. Motor is very strong and a little unique it has a casting of the word special on the side runs good no smoke transmission and clutch have been replaced a Novak rebuild kit was used on the transmission. Wiring has all been redone and everything functions as it should. Motor has 20 lb of oil pressure at idle and 30-40 running down the road. Transfer case is noisy but functional I was going to rebuild it at some point down the road.

The front of the frame is pretty tweaked so I also have acquired a entirely new frame with axles rebuilt brakes pretty much all ready to go to swap everything on to. Pretty much everything has been fixed does have some rust under the toolbox and a little bit in the front floors. I didn’t do anything to the body because I thought it has great patina and looks good as it is. Lots of stuff has been done to this Jeep feel free to message me if you have some questions or want to get some more specifics. It comes with a clear title in my name and has a brand new bestop tiger top installed. $4800.00”

“1942 Press Photo Group of girls driving a jeep drove pass 16-inch shells stack. This is an original press photo. Women At Home On The (Firing) Range Women who just a short while ago thought of a range as something to cook on and powder as something to pat on their faces are now doing the work of men on the firing range at the Army Ordnance Department’s providing grounds at Aberdeen, Md. They don’t just fool around with the light work, either. They fill shells with powder and prime them. They run huge cranes to assemble the big guns. And they load, clean, and fire everything from Garand rifles and Tommy guns to the big railroads guns. A group of the girls riding the range in a Jeep pass a huge stack of 16-inch shells.
