UPDATE:  **SOLD**  Was $6000.

(11/01/2010) This appears in great condition.  I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.

“Jeep CJ2, Calif Yellow & Black Plates, Clear Title. Has original “Go Devil” Flathead 4 motor. A very clean Jeep with no dents or rust. Good Glass, Seat and Tires. Runs smoothly. I have only used this for parades and car shows (show & tell) It has not been beaten up off roading. ”

1954 Austin Champ Birmingham, Mi **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Other 4x4s • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $29000

As a former owner of three of these, I can attest to their lack of value.

“Austin was commissioned to build the Champ to replace WWII Willys Jeeps in the British Military service. It is powered by a modular Rolls-Royce engine that produces 80 horsepower. The engine is linked to a 5 speed synchromesh transmission that has no integral reverse gear, drive being taken by the propshaft to a rear transaxle which incorporated a reverse mechanism that acted on all five ratios and is controlled by a separate lever. The suspension is fully independent double wishbones with a longitudinal torsion bar and telescopic hydraulic damper at all four wheels.

Recently, over $8,000 was spent replacing all the axle seals and gaskets for the front and rear differentials. The front and rear shocks were also replaced and the entire undercarriage and suspension was cleaned, undercoated, and detailed.]”

“This is an original, 1942 GPW Ford Jeep. It was built Dec. 21, 1942. This jeep is as complete and rust free as you will ever find. This jeep has always been garaged and has a clear Title.
The Ford GPW were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeeps

1943 GPW Missouri eBay

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.

“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.

My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.

Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

1953 M-38A1 Denver, Co $11,000

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

This appears in good condition.  I think this might have been the text from an eBay ad, because it has a ‘buy it now’ reference.  I think the third party appraiser has been partying too much given the appraised value of $11,000.   The seller will do better if they paint it OD green and put some military tires on it.  Those metal (as opposed to aluminum cast) slots in that good of shape are hard to find.

“Collector owned. Collector has Street rods, frame off restored muscle cars, woody’s, Mopar’s, classic trucks, etc and this Willys Jeep is one of the many in his collection.

THIS JEEP WAS JUST APPRAISED AT A VALUE OF $11,000.00 BY A CERTIFIED THIRD PARTY APPRAISER (SEE APPRAISAL BELOW WHICH IS INCLUDED WITH THE SALE OF THE VEHICLE). NOTE: THE COLLECTOR IS A MOTIVATED SELLER. Call me for a buy it now.

A show and award winning full frame off restoration of this Willys Jeep proves it to be one of the nicest restorations around today. OVER $16K INVESTED in the frame off, nut and bolt, restoration. Heavy documents and receipts included.

With the original F Head 4 cylinder motor that has less than 2,000 miles on it, this Jeep has seen very little road time. Car has never seen rain and has only been driven around town. Jeep likes like showroom new.

The interior and floor pan are in excellent condition, matching the dash and gauges the truck reflects the countless man hours installed to get it to the condition that it is today.

This Jeep is ready for shows or a Sunday cruise, with its manual transmission run it down the highway at 65mph or take it to the trails to see what it was meant to do!

This Jeep will come with multiple awards one at local car shows. This is a military Jeep sold Civilian with very low original miles.

In full disclosure, the items that are not 100% show quality as follows:
-A small run in the paint on the passenger side of the hood. See pictures

Everything works and this Jeep is ready to drive anywhere!

Call Alex for more info
Thanks!

1945 MB Mill Valley, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $9000

(05/06/2012) “I have a 1945 Jeep MB for sale. It has everything right with it and it has everything wrong with it. By that I mean that most components show wear, but they are all there in the original form. Most are the original to the Jeep. The engine, frame, body, and trans #’s match and most other components are the original that came with the vehicle, even the horn. Its got a little rust in the common areas, but the body is the one that came from the factory. Of course there are replacement parts but they are high quality reproductions. The tires are virtually new NDT (~100 miles) and the wheels are split rims. The jeep is not “modified” or “modernized”. It is a good example of an original vehicle, perfect for someone who wants to just drive it or totally restore it.
If you are interested, I can send some photos. Price $ 9000.+ depending on response to ad.
Thank you,
Alex”
