“1942 willy jeep MB
Original engine runs real good just had a tune up on it. Comes with both door and Rag top and windshield.
Bought as a project jeep but ended up fixing up my other Jeep!”

This potato sack sold for over $60, though I don’t know the exact selling price. Jevon Aasand (1921-2000) owned the Aasand Potato company, but I’m not sure who owned/managed the Jeep’s Best brand.

Columnist Russ Leadabrandthinks the jeep is the best way to see California. This column appeared in the June 29, 1960, issue of the Pasadena Independent:

This National Archives photo was taken on Iwo Jima in February of 1945. The Original Caption read: Duck Row—Enroute to the front lines, a stretcher jeep travels a matting runway as it passes a pool of amphibious trucks near the beach at Iwo.

In 2018 when driving south from Philadelphia to Delaware, a reader recommended we stop at the northbound welcome center along I-95. Unfortunately, as we were driving south,we got a little confused, then we realized that to turn around was going to take more time than we’d allotted. So, we never got to see what was at the Welcome Center.

Yesterday, someone posted a picture of a Jeepster that sits inside the Welcome Center, so now we know what we missed! We’ll definitely stop on our next trip, should we head north on I-95.

The placement of the speedometer is farther to the right than stock, so this likely has a replacement body (https://cj3b.info/Dating/Dating1.html).

Here’s a late model (sold in 1964, so titled as such), Tornado-powered wagon. It hasn’t been run for a couple decades. A trailer is available with it if desired. I tried to validate the serial number, but couldn’t locate a good source for 1962/1963 wagon serial numbers.

“1964 Jeep Willys wagon. Initially sold in 1963. 91K original miles on original engine. We are the 2nd owner, purchased in 1965. It has not been driven or liscenced since APROX 1997.

“1949 Willy colleter Jeep v6 p/s 3 speed runs great in great shape for a 72 year old Jeep 4×4 works all the lights work fun Jeep cheaper then a razor and can drive on the street and will hold its value”

A lack of a battery suggests this isn’t running? Not sure how the seller concluded thiswas the Jeepster’s predecessor (I suppose, technically, wagons proceeded Jeepsters, but this wagon was definitely post Jeepster). This wagon includes a gov plate.

“1959 Jeep Willy’s 4×4 Delivery Panel Wagon. Great restoration project for a piece of Americana. This is the predecessor of the Jeepster. Because this is the Delivery Panel Wagon model, the tailgate opens with two doors for easier access. Has a Ramsey Winch and wood paneling inside. Has the Super Hurricane Motor. Call for showing or more pictures”

(03/05/2021) It’s a project.

“I’ve worked very hard on this project for four years, but I’m honestly getting burned out. I want to sell it to someone who is as interested as I was four years ago.

I have almost everything new needed to build the jeep minus the fenders… Some is already installed some is in boxes (bought it ahead of time) steering wheel, new clutch, even the broken star stencils with all the lettering. I also have a rear bench seat which is slightly rare.

Frame: new brake system, rotors, rebuild trans. Rebuild diffs, rebuild transfer case.

Body needs sheet metal work. The top is a lot nicer looking than underside. (I have new floorpan and channels).

Engine was stripped bare and painted black.

Shoot me offers! I have about 10k invested, was hoping for at least half. Cash only please. Thank you for looking.”

(11/13/2020) Mark spotted this modified 3B with what I think is an M-38A1 rear body (has military gas tank). Has rear PTO and gearbox.

This farm jeep runs great and is a rare find.”

Joe-in-Mesa filed this report from last weekend’s Parker Military Vehicle Display and Swap Meet in Parker, Arizona.

TheinauguralParker event was a great time, and very relaxing. No signal to speak of at the display area and campsite along the river, so we actually just communicated with one another with no outside world interruptions. Signal was normal once you got out onto highway 95 and back at our hotel in Parker. The highlight for me was a true “Bucket List” item: trail ride to The Desert Bar (Nellie E. Saloon) Saturday afternoon. I also enjoyed the Friday night dinner and presentation about the WWII desert training areas Patton established in that area, mostly Arizona and California.

Here is a rest stop pic of the convoy to Parker with us up front (first time towing BOTH my WWII jeeps – new truck and trailer) and my friend David Webster with his MB and trailer.

Below are my wife Jan and David mugging during set up day one with my jeeps sporting the awesome covers I got from Ian Liljeblad (www.bigwillyjeep.com)

Lots of vendors displayed parts and militaria. Military Vehicles on display were mostly 1/4 ton to 3/4 ton (more than 2 dozen).

Friends’ jeeps and a mule (far left) parked for the dinner and presentation on Friday night about the WWII Desert Training Area by a Yuma Proving Ground museum curator.

The weather was perfect. OnFriday evening weenjoy this beautiful sunset over the Colorado River looking west from the La Paz County Campgrounds, Parker, Arizona.

This Farm Jeep ad from this 1954 Tractor Field Book Magazine purchased off eBayshows that the Farm Jeep was still being advertisedas late at 1954 (though there’s no record any Jeep Tractors were made past1951). In fact, it’s estimated that in 1954 only12 Farm Jeeps were produced, and the ones that were madewere of the CJ-3B-Farm-Jeep variety rather than the CJ-3A version. This ad below shows the CJ-3B version, serial number prefix 454-GC2.

This ad with women sipping tea while soldiers push through thick mud just expired on eBay, but will likely be relisted. Itseems a bit unfair to women, as if they didn’t know a war was going on. I would imagine that most womenlikely were the main food shoppers and had to deal with shortages beyond just rubber.

UPDATE: This has been relisted here.

Someone spent lots of time and money on this custom build.

“65 willys, custom frame. One off custom build. Only one in the world like it. Big block 454 with blower. 5 speed trans. Toyota rear end. 4 linked. Only a 2 year old build. Must go taking all offers I’m moving”

This has a replacement body, so it’s likely in good shape.

(02/01/2021) Looks to be a fiberglass body, but a style I don’t recognize. It appears to be just a rolling chassis.
