Late Model CJ-5 Kelly Hardtop

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

UPDATE: This model of top was also sold under the Sears brand. This 1977 catalog shows the top, but doesn’t indicate it was manufactured by Kelly. I’d assume that the different shaped door in the catalog pic has to do with that vehicle being a CJ-7.

CJ-3B Koenig Hardtop Meridian, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.

Looks solid, Jeep NOT for sale.

koenig-hardtop-meridian-id2 koenig-hardtop-meridian-id3 koenig-hardtop-meridian-id4

“Koenig Iron Works Hard Top. Originally for a CJ3A, I modified it slightly to fit my CJ3B. It can be reverted back with very little work. I had all new shatter proof auto glass and seals installed several years ago. Rear lift gate opens and latches open perfectly. Doors have roll up/down windows. Driver’s side doesn’t go down the last 2″ or so when the interior door panels are on – the arm catches on something. I never worried about it since the top was only on in the winter time.

The door latches work fine but are not the kind that lock. The inside of the roof has the brackets to put a headliner in there if you want one. Top comes apart (sides, lift gate, doors, roof) for easy, out of the way storage, and bolts back together easily. It’s a solid top, but the paint is starting to chip a little bit. Get this now so you’re warm and dry next winter! It is currently off the Jeep and ready to be picked up. $650 OBO.”

“For sale is a Willys Jeep M38 /CJ2A Arctic Top, Windshield Frame and Doors. Over all pretty decent condition, with all glass good except for rear hatch glass. All insulation still intact,as is original Tag. Windshield frame is very nice as are the doors with the exception of some of the window frame metal needed some work.

Ive been told these tops will also fit CJ2A model jeeps as well as possibly CJ3A models using the Windshield frame that come with top. Anyone have any info on this ill be happy to comment on this and ad it to listing. These Tops look really cool when mounted and with a little work this one would be a great addition to an M38 restoration, driver or Winter Wheeler.

If you do a search on Willys Arctic Tops you can see some great pics of this type of Top installed. Located in Storrs CT , and I will be happy to hold top until new owner is able to come get it. Could possibly ship through Fastenal but not sure as there blue line for shipping is down right now, so might have to be a You Ship type of deal or come and get it. $650 OBO”

Year? CJ-3A Valentine APU Central Point, OR **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $25,000.

I don’t see any of the APU equipment left, so while it’s a rare jeep, it’s also no longer an APU jeep. I don’t see anyone paying the asking price for it. That said, it’s got some interesting mods, including a custom lengthened rear cargo area, a custom spare tire well and holder, what appears to be the Hudson steering mod, and a custom modified top (shortened CJ-6 top perhaps). This also utilizes doors from a late model CJ-5 hardtop by Kelly. The rear portion may even be a modified Kelly CJ-6 top.

“Up for sale is a CJ3A Willys APU Jeep .
This APU Jeep was built for the military Navy and Air Force to start jets by the Valentine Welding Co. they made a total of 75, this is one of two know to still exist, and the only one with a windshield and top .
The newer F head engines were placed in and a custom hood made by the manufacturer
Asking 25k”
