Will asked if I’d scan this brochure for him. In a post a couple days ago I thought the Bonanza III hardtop had wide glass pieces where the brown indents are, but it turns out those are just indents with dark brown simulated walnut stickers. This also shows that Kelly made Jeepster Commando and Bronco hardtops.
1944 Photo of T-14 6×6 on eBay
This is a print from an original negative, though the seller doesn’t specifically say that he printed it (but I get the sense that is what he did … I have enhanced the photo to make it easier to see). It’s a Willys T-14 6×6. Mark Askew, in his Rare WW2 Jeep book, has a couple photos of it from different angles, but not this one. It is one of four photos for sale as part of the auction.
Here I have an 8 ½ x 11 inch print from the original negative number 10B-36 of 4 Willys Overland Jeeps, 3 of which are tracked
Photos are marked as:
RT-284 TRACK LAYING JEEP – TJ MARK I – NO 1 WILLYS OVERLAND ENGINEERING NO. 2491-5-20-44
TRACKED JEEP – MODEL WT-0, SERIAL 02 – WITH GOODRICH TRACK RT-245 WILLYS OVERLAND – ENGINEERING NO. 2993-12-5-44

Very rare Piece for the Willys / Jeep Collector!”
1947 CJ-2A Fredonia, PA $1800
UPDATE: Barry worked the phone on this. See his comments below.
Is this the gravity dump bed highlighted in a 1955 Willys News article? It’s not an exact copy, but it’s similar. Both tilt to about 45 degrees. Here’s the article.
Read the rest of the article here.
“Dumpbed Willys , snow plow lift , hydraulic pump and valve , pretty much all there , just rusty, does not run . Also has a clear PA title .”

1955 CJ-5 Blanch, NC **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Jim spotted this early CJ-5.
“Runs well, shifts fine and is fun to drive. The 4 wheel drive engages ( have not used ). Paint is likely more than 20 or years old. Old bondo in rear corners, some rust in floor braces, front floor has repairs, some bubbling under old paint (Orig color was green), small dents, but for a 62 year old unrestored Willys Jeep it isn’t bad. This is a Willys that has been used it’s entire life (not a garage queen). Has a North Carolina (VIN Number) bonded title. So it is ready to drive or restore.
Body fair. Runs fine. Fun to drive. Brakes, Lights, Turning Lights, Horn, Emergency Brake all work. Always attacks attention. Priced Right. Speedometer not working right. 63434 probably not correct.”
1954 CJ-3B Gypsum, CO $3500
Looks good for the price.

Year? Scamp? Sacramento, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The seller believes this has a 1946 body, but looks more like a replica body. This may actually be a SCAMP rather than a VEEP.
“Fun to drive, draws attention and looks from admirers, great for street or desert.
This is a conversion of a 1946 Willy’s cj3a (army style) jeep into what was called back in the ’70’s a “Veep”, which meant a steel Jeep body with VW bug running gear (motor and trans). The Jeep body came out of a shipping crate never been assembled when i opened it and bolted it together in 2004. The engine is a dual port stock 1600cc air-cooled motor with a single solex 30 carburetor built in 2004. It has a type 1 transmission with standard 4-spd manual shifting. This Jeep includes the following features:
Four wheel disc brakes
External oil cooler w/ thermostatically controlled cooling fan
Fox shocks including external reservoirs in the rear
Stock beam front end
Centerline aluminum rims (new tires)
White front bucket seats
A rear bench that seats 3 on black diamond stitching
VDO vintage gold rimed gauges
The clear plastic windows in the doors was replaced in 2016
Many customizations..
1960? DJ-3A Ventura, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3950. Might have been a Pepsi Surrey.
Per Colin, 56337 18392 1960 DJ3A Yellow, floor shift, some modifications, bucket seats, chrome windshield grab bars, chrome front bumper. Could this have been a Pepsi Surrey? Very close to numbers of other Pepsi Surreys.
This is owned by Sherri and had the DJ featured in a magazine (Four Wheeler?). At some point, this jeep was stolen. It was returned to her in poor shape. It needs some restoration. (At least, that’s what I understand based on the text below).
“Willys Jeep flat head 4 NOT 4Wheel drive, 3 speed shift
Old military style clean engine like new, needs tires & seats mounted, have bikini top,
I have owned 40 years originally restored (40 yrs ago) & was in magazines “jeep was stolen & left in a wash for few years” when I got it back I started to restore again! Was told 1945 registered & pink slip 1960.

Post Trip Items: Interview with Hugo Vidal
<– Day 22: Aug 11, Patterson Ends His Alaska Journey | Post Trip Items: Alaska Or Rust Article in Dispatcher Magazine –>
Here’s the interview the CBC Yukon did with Hugo Vidal on August 1st in Whitehorse, Yukon, which was also the night of his 84th birthday. It recounts his trip through Whitehorse in 1955.
I was sitting with Hugo when he did the interview. Unfortunately, during parts of the interview, Around the 4:42 mark he asks “have I told you the little poem” well that was him turning to me (away from the microphone). I was thinking at the time, NO … keep talking to the interviewer!!

1954? Service Wrecker Mailer on eBay
The seller lists this as a 1954 brochure, but given there’s a chart dated “May 1955”, I’m gonna guess this is more like 1955 or 1956. The auction ends about 8am PST Saturday.
“Up for Auction is a Very Rare and Amazing 1954 Operators Like Mr.Service Find Profit in The ”Jeep” and Jeep Wrecker with 4 Wheel Drive Universal Brochure/Advertisement, top right corner has a tiny piece missing in very good condition.”

1955 CJ-5 Hutchinson, KS **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4150.
This could be worth a look. Has an early 0-10 speedometer.
“Here’s your chance to own a classic piece of history! This little jeep is in pretty decent condition and runs like a top with it’s original 134ci 4 cylinder engine and 3spd transmission…
It’s bright yellow paint with black trim has garnered the name “Bumble Beep” and it definitely grabs some stares when people see it! It is a very solid southern tub and frame that looks to have been restored 15-20 years ago but does have a few rust bubbles starting on the fenders. The 4×4 drive-train is good and solid which all seems to work as it should and drives much better than you would expect from this type of vehicle!
This would make a GREAT wagon for the hunter heading to the not so accessible areas or to hook behind your motorhome and head to the mountains on vacation! It has it’s original bench seat, all the lights and signals work along with the unmistakable jeep horn “BEEP BEEP”…….. It has the spare mounted to the side and the G.I. can on the rear which can come in handy out in the Boonies! The only thing that I can say doesn’t work is the fuel guage…
If your tired of looking at the junk out there but would really like to have an old jeep from this era then you really need to take a look at this little fun wagon that’s ready to get in and ENJOY!!!”
