1948? Jeepster Salt Lake City, UT $7000 (SCAM?)

• CATEGORIES: Jeepster • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Thanks to Seth for verifying this scam. Here’s what the “seller” wrote to him:

I’m selling it because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories, that’s the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p.The total price is $7,000. No damage or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained. I have clear title, without liens or loans on it, everything is under my name. Me and my son decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents house in Twin Falls, ID trying to start a new life. We need to meet up to my parents place or I can arrange delivery – it will cost the gas money and I will pay for it.

I want to use eBay Motors services (5 days of testing prior purchase) for the safety of both of us, so if you’re interested in purchasing, please provide me your full name for the bill of sale, your full address and a phone number so I can notify eBay that you’re selected as my possible buyer, and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

The 1) hurry to sell, 2) sell via eBay, 3) paying for delivery are three warning signs of s scam. A 2015 eBay forum post discusses a similar scam.

It runs.

“I have a 47 Willys Jeep. It is rough and beat up. No title. Old ranchers lost it years ago. I have had it for 3 years. The ranchers had it 45 years. It has a newer overhead valve jeep engine in it. It will run if you can get it started. I think the starter is finally caput! No idea what fuel tank they put in the back is out of and I made a milk crate seat. Last time I was able to start it the engine purrs like a kitten. Fwd works. For some reason there is something cool about it. I call it, Drivable yard art! CASH ONLY! I WILL NOT RESPOND TO TEXT!”

This has a modified windshield. Here’s one that looks identical and another and one other. I don’t know if this means someone manufactured these custom windshields or it is just coincidence. It also appears to have a set of rare Cutlas “Bulldog” hubs.

“I have this willys and I need the cash. It doesn’t have the hood and basically it’s perfect for a project. Lost paperwork but a lien sale will be the best option. I’m asking 1500 but make me an offer. ”

Updates Sunday Morning

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

We enjoyed our night of camping at Oregon’s Cottonwood Canyon State Park so much that we are going to spend a second night there. We had the place to ourselves last night. The purposefully primitive camping sites (no power/water/sewer/cell) are spread out, so even if this place was full, it would be pleasant. Here’s one photo. I’ll report more on this Sunday morning.

Gone Camping

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

THURSDAY UPDATE II: Wednesday night we stayed at the Maryhill State Park, which is nestled next to the Columbia River. Unfortunately, it’s also next to a train track; and, across the river from a second train track and I-84; and at the bottom of a long hill down which semi-trucks travel using their air brakes all night. For a pretty spot kind of in the middle of nowhere it was noisy, way too noisy!!

So, we are heading to another campground, this one a primitive place in the middle of Oregon. There are no train tracks, no nearby highways, no power, and no cell service …. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Good news. We have connectivity at our campground. We’ll be camping for a few days.

Now for a funny story.

We stopped to fill the motorhome with gas this afternoon. Next to the gas station was a McDonalds, so Ann walked over in her baggy camping clothes to get a little food.  As she walked away she laughed and shouted, “I bet these clothes make me look homeless!”

Her knee has been bothering her, so she slowly walked there, just adding to her “look”. On her return trip, she exited McDonalds, again slowly, then paused to let a vehicle leave the drive-thru. At that point, a woman driving slowly past Ann rolled down her window and attempted to give Ann a dollar bill, thinking Ann was homeless. Ann was befuddled. She looked at the woman and shook her head and said, “no thanks.” Puzzled, the woman shrugged, rolled up her window, and drove on….

I think my next book should be titled, Yikes! I Married a Homeless Woman!

1947 CJ-2A Goodyear, AZ $8500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available.

This seller’s grandfather started the Seattle Belly Panner’s Jeep Club in Washington. I don’t know the history of the club, but I’d be hard pressed to believe it was started prior to the Yakima Ridgerunners (known for being the first incorporated club in the US). That said, by the early 1970s the club was down to only three members (none of which had a CJ-2A) so this could well be a pretty early club.
