Newest Folk Art “Jeep”

Before I return to working on the FC, I am finishing what I started before our Balloonfest event; I am completing a thorough cleaning and organizing of the shop. I even bought one of these nut/bolt organizers to reduce the hunt for nuts and bolt and other items that are stuffed into cans that sit on my table tops. Some of these cans of bolts were ones that I put into cans back in the mid 1980s. Clearly, I’m not going to use some of them, so it’s time to sort, dump and organize!

I picked this folk art “jeep” off of ebay for cheap. I think it is supposed to be a Fiat Campagnola, or some derivation of it. HOWEVER, I later re-discovered these were sold through Hobby Lobby. I even posted about this (thanks to John) back in 2022, but I forgot about it … oh well, at least I didn’t pay much for it!

“1947 Jeep CJ2A survivor. This Jeep was last registered and driven in 1978. It has been in dry storage and only recently been prepared for sale. Repairs include a new fuel tank, brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders and miscellaneous brake lines and hoses. The generator has been rebuilt and a new voltage regulator installed. The carburetor has been rebuilt and the water pump replaced. The tires are new period correct non directional 6.00X16 reproductions. This Jeep starts easily, runs smoothly and carries good oil pressure and does not smoke. The transmission shifts properly and yes, it jumps out of second gear. The transfer case operates properly. It has had one repaint from Picket gray to tan in the 1970’s. The paint is scratched but still has a shine. Included is the original canvas 1/2 cab top which is only good for a pattern. It currently has a black top that is very serviceable. It is also equipped with a Shenecker hand pump snow plow. Rust through is limited to the tool box”

UPDATE: price dropped to $10,920.

(09/30/2024) Listed as a 1941, this lacks the correct grill, but appears to have an MB frame. It also appears to have GPW tool lids. There is no glove box. This might be a compilation of parts? Note that the hubs are stamped “Allstate” and likely are rebranded Husky hubs. Also, the tires are branded “Allstate”.

“1962 Jeep FC.Originally a 170 model,I took the bed off and shortened the frame. I had this PARSON’S 6FT utility bed I picked up years ago and I put them together. The utility bed had a missing door so I made one and just need to cut the hole for the latch and install it.. Minor rust on both the cab and bed.. Some rust above windshield. Most panels are straight. Missing drivers glass. The 80 year old previous owner installed a 67ish chevy 250/th350 and wired himself with this brother.. They installed a 8.8 rear end but left the front axle. This thing runs and drives well,stops well. Has manual steering but it’ll put hair on your chest! The only thing is that it runs a bit hot,I just installed a 16″ electric fan and it can idle for a while but if you drive it kinda hard,the temp creeps up.. I think I needs timing and maybe more airflow since the bumpers kinda block that… Great for your business. No trades..”

Ann taking her cousin for a spin in the Race Jeep.

We had our annual family gathering last weekend (hence the lack of updates). I was busy up til folks started arriving on Friday morning and didn’t stop moving until Sunday night. We had around 40 folks camping, tenting, RVing, staying in the house, crashing in the bunk house, and even sleeping in the shop’s extra rooms. The weather was perfect, warm during the day and cool enough at night for some fires.

The balloons launched at 7am Saturday morning, but Sunday proved too windy (the balloons launch about a 2 miles from us). This year the winds took the balloons east, so we didn’t get any close up views from our property (but most relatives went to the airport to watch them). However, most of the time we were all having fun, playing games, eating and hanging out. Here are some random pics from the event.

On Friday night, one of the relatives got out his fire dancing items and entertained us at the fire pits. He’s been spinning fire for more than a decade (though he’s only been part of the family for just over a year). So, this is a neat treat.
