Custom Flattie Olympia, WA $3000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.

Lots of upgrades, but still a project. It has a bobcat body with the passenger side gas inlet (life mine). I’d bet this is one of the early heavy bodies.

Molds, Jeeps, Jeepers, and More Jeeps!

Sunday was a fun, but long day!

rob-racejeep0

Al and Rob checking out the Stafford family race jeep.

For me it started with a four hour drive from Pasco to Spanaway, where I met up with Rob Stafford and Al Schaper. Al and I planned to look over some fiberglass body molds that Rob had been storing for years. The molds were used to create fiberglass flat fender and CJ-5 body and front clip parts.

Of particular interest to me were the body molds. One of the body molds was used to create a Parkette racing body shell. The second body mold was used to create a Bobcat racing shell or in conjunction with a floor mold to create a complete body. While I have owned an Acme (I think) light racing fiberglass body and a Bobcat body (Biscuit’s body), I’ve always wanted a Parkette body. So, I was checking out that mold particularly closely.

Grille and fender molds. There are also some CJ-5 fender molds. Missing is a Bobcat and/or Parkette tailgate mold.

1945? Fiberglass Flattie Las Vegas, NV **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.

(03/17/2014) Given the name on the tailgate it is clear this is a Fiberglass Bobcat body. If you look at the first pic you can see the windshield frame sitting on the cowl with only part of the rubber. This builder discovered what I and other discovered. The cowl wasn’t formed quite right to fit the windshield correctly. So, this builder decided only to protect the driver from rain.

Rapid Transit Lives . . .

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

Damian wrote to tell me that a favorite drag jeep of mine, Rapid Transit, is racing under a new owner and a new power train. It looks like it uses a Bobcat hood and (likely) body.

He writes, “believe it or not this jeep is still around in the cleves, ohio area and races regularly, but it is now a center seater 2wd and has a small block chevy, i race with the current owner and also do photography.”

You can view Damian’s photos on Facebook. Below is a comparison between the old and new racer.

1949 CJ-2A Nevada? $5700

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

This good looking jeep likely has a Bobcat body. The license plates suggest the jeep is in Nevada, but the VIN/ID plate is from Washington. I’m surprised this only has a Dana 41 rear. Is that a thin air cleaner between two steal plates.

“This is in Excellent conditions. Fun for going off-Road up to the Mountain. This has a Dana 41 rear, with 44 rebuilt rear ready to go in. Dana 25 front. 11″ brakes. 2 1/2″ lift. Custom nerf bars. 8000LB. Winch. Seats extended 8″ in to the wheel wells for leg room. 8000LB Winch. Tilt Steering Wheel. Power steering. Opt roll cage. New aluminum wheels. Tow Bar comes off easy.
