This photo and article was published in the August 29, 1957, issue of the Reading Eagle from Reading, Pennsylvania. It looks to be a CJ-2. It sounds like it has been refurbished into a brush fire-fighting jeep. The article indicates this would be called Jeep No. 11, yet it is labeled Jeep No. 1.

UPDATE:Price dropped to $8500

Jim spotted this CJ-5.

“Most everything rebuilt in last three years: Engine, Transmission, Brakes, etc.
(Odometer shows 74000 but less than 1000 since engine overhaul)”

UPDATE: Still Available. Was $8000. Now no price.

(10/24/2014) Seller got this fixed up, but has some physical problems entering and exiting.

“I bought this a few years ago, the engine had just been overhauled and had about 100 miles on it. I sent it out and had the entire thing gone over. New generator, starter, regulator, entire brake system, New seals bearings on drive train, tires, glass, spare tire and holder, and the list goes on. It is all original. Door panels and seats already done. New glass, but I need to install it, also has a soft top. Drives great and runs even better. I did the entire Jeep in Black and red because I was going to keep it. You can paint it whatever color you want.

After putting the doors back on I found I can’t get in or out of it as I am handicapped. Will trade for an antique car to restore, 1930 or older, and prefer a 4 door but 2 will do as long as it seats at least 5 people.

I never planned on letting this go, so most all the money was spent on mechanical work. Body was sanded and primed but I liked the flat black and just left it.

I said it is all original, but I did make a few changes. The floor starter is disabled and has a push button on the dash, and I refused to re-install the vacuumed windshield wipers. Also I was in the process of installing a spare battery with a switch on the dash, The switch and wires are with the car.”

It’s a project.

Parts vehicle.

“WILLYS CJ2A This jeep could be restored but most likley best used for parts.All parts are there engine does not turn over and it does not roll.I have paper work for it.”

http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/5275693544.html

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900. Still not sure what it is.

“We are not quite sure what to call this vehicle. It probably started out as a Willys Americar, then was transformed into it’s present shape by a Cal Poly welding professor (or so the story goes). It has a 4-cylinder flathead engine that turns freely and a stick shift transmission. Notice the custom dash in the pics. There is a small trunk with a spare on the back. Still has the black license plates, so we can assume that it was driven on the highway at some point in it’s life. Would make a real cool run-about or ranch vehicle. Has the original hubcaps. Will need lots of TLC to get it back on the road, but what a hoot – friends will love it. We are certain that it is the only one of it’s kind in the world. I am William of bidslo.com and you can find all sorts of other fantastical vehicles on our website. Have a great day.”

Colin bought a Hickey aluminum cylinder head to modify his 1960 Surrey, but ran into some problems with it. Below he describes the changes he made, the problems he encountered, and his current solution. Thanks for sharing Colin!

I started a hop-up project on our Surrey that involved the installation of a 1950s Nick Hickey aluminum cylinder head for the L-134. That morphed into the fabrication of a dual carb setup using two intake manifolds with a balance tube an F Head exhaust manifold thata very good friend, Steve Mason, and I fabricated out of an old manifold supplied by Jim Sullivan.

Thefirstissue was thetwo new Weber carbs. They were supposed to be synchronized and jetted the sam, but weren’t.That led to the rear carb dumping extra fuel into #s 3&4, resulting in a blown head gasket which dumped coolant into those cylinders.

Hickey head top and bottom.

Took it all apart, rejetted the carbs and had the head resurfaced. I finished buttoning everything up and fired it up. adjusted the carbs slightly, running smooth, then noticed coolant in the #2 spark plug recess. Shut it off, pulled all plugs, could see coolant in #2, and steam coming from what must be a crack in the threads.

When I had the engine running previously I did not have water pooling in the plug basins. Upon looking at the plugs, the electrodes indicated the possibility of them coming in contact with the valves. Took a very hi intensity flashlight and looked into the cylinders and at least two of the valves I saw the imprint of the electrode on the valves.

So my theory is this:
I had the head resurfaced and in that process, the machine shop used an epoxy to smooth the surface indentations( corrosion?), and then did the resurface. The plugs I had used were nearly new from the original head. Those electrodes did not extend into the combustion chamber. The machine shop( guys who do a lot of work on Ford V8s with aluminum heads told me to get plugs with a slightly longer shank for better combustion. So I did. Only a small imperceptible difference in length.

Can’t say I ever tried this.

“You are bidding on an original press photo of Marvin Bud Ward Golfing Off Jeep Hood Dutch New Guinea WWII. Photo has waving due to too much glue being used to attach the information sheet onto the back of the photo. If the listing shows thin red and/or green lines, they are the result of a bad scan & the lines are NOT on the actual photo. Photo measures 7 x 9 inches and is dated 10/7/1944.”
