“A very original CJ-2A. This Vintage Jeep spent most of its life in the dry desert Southwest. Still has the original 6 volt system and the original body is very sound. A great candidate for a vintage restoration or leave as is as a daily driver. Most of electrical electric system restored with new or rebuilt parts in 2009 and 2010, along with new water pump, brake master cylinder, windshield wiper vacuum motor, and rebuilt carburetor. Low mileage since.”

Thanks once again to Jesse and Andrea for treating all of us to another great FC Roundup.This year theRoundup was dedicated to Dan Horenberger, who passed away last November.

The weather was a perfect 80 degrees, not too hot and not too cold.Despite the perfect day, we didn’t get going all that quickly. And, when we finally made it to the event, I realized I’d forgotten my badge, so back to the hotel I dashed. While away, I put Ann to work photographs:

<< SEE THURSDAY’S REPORT HERE

Our travels southward were finally rewarded yesterday with a gloriously beautiful, cloudless sky with temperatures in the high 70s. It was a perfect day for traveling from Kingman to Phoenix.

Of all the routes we’ve taken on our drives to Phoenix, one of the most obvious, Highway 93, we’d yet to undertake. I thought it would be a flat, dry, dusty drive, but it turned out to be filled with rolling hills of sage, cactus, and (due to the time of year) colorful flowers.

Our one stop of the day was in Wickenburg. I did zero research on the town, instead letting serendipity guide us. By following the signs, we quickly found ourselves in old town, a delightful placewith a cowboy vibe its citizens embrace.

One of the first things we saw we mistook, at first, for a homeless man perched on the ground. Unsure if he was real or not, we made our way over to what was soon obviously a sculpture. It turns out that due to a lack of funds, Wickenburg didn’t have a jail during its early years, so anyone needing a jail cell found themselves chained to a tree until their sentence was complete.

There was even a audio presentation, which provided some great background on the “Jail Tree”. It’s a nicely done work.

Next we walked a block to a second sculpture that celebrated an upstanding Wickenburg citizen named Everett Bowman and recognized his mule training prowess, among other accomplishments.

With Ann slow going, we decided to skip exploring town and instead check out the downtown museum, a well regarded (on Yelp) place called the Desert Caballeros Western Museum.

The museum was $12, but active military get in free (the Air Force will never fully release her). That’s a price we could work with. Inside, there was the usual western history showing pioneer history. The two photos below were from this collection:http://www.boydranch.org/western-museum/

Naturally, of all the things that caught my eye, the mining section drew me in the most. One sign really interested me. It claimed that in 1871 a US House of Representatives report noted that Wickenburg was “the Most Important District in Arizona”.

When I saw the date, I guessed right away who wrote that phrase: my great great grandfather Anton Eilers. Because of my research on SLAG, I knew he’d been in Arizona in 1870 and published his findings in the Spring of 1871. This called for some research ….

When I returned to our hotel yesterday eveningI pulled up the report he and Rossiter Raymond produced for 1870. On page 259 the first sentence jumped out:

It was very satisfying to be able to identify Anton’s handiwork. Anton later mentioned that while the mine proved important in comparison with the rest of Arizona, the territory wasn’t producing all that much gold. Conflicts with the Apaches coupled with a lack of water and no railroad retarded the development of mining in Arizona for years…..

The Desert Caballeros proved to be an interesting museum. And, I bet on a hot day, it’s a wonderfully cool retreat for a few hours. If you are nearby, check it out sometime.

With the museum completed, we ate lunch and drove to Phoenix. We soon arrived at Jesse and Andrea’s house, where wecaught up with everyone. Later, we headed out to dinner at the Grand Canyon University Restaurant in a train of FCs. It was quite a site to see the FCs parked in the circle near the main doors:

That’s it for this report. Tomorrow I’ll have many more pics of the FCs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,500.

Seller lists this as both a 1941 and 1942. The serial number suggests it is a 1942.

“Rare “Slat Grill” early version Willys. Runs great. Serial No. 113037…13037th one made out of over 600,000 jeeps in WW II. Delivered January 19th, 1942. Older restoration that could be easily re-done if so desired. Equipped with SC-659 radio transmitter, .30 caliber replica machine gun, canvas top, tools, etc. Many extras including replica M-1 carbine, helmets, parts, manuals and more. Vehicle is licensed and titled. Appointments will be taken in order in which calls are received.”

Might not be a bad price.

“I’m selling my 1951 Willys M38. $8000.00 or best offer cash only. Many updates including sandblasting and new paint in 2016.”

John spotted this early wagon on Hemmings. Looks like a good restoration candidate.

https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2017/03/24/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1949-willys-jeep-delivery

Very original, relatively rare 4×2 Willys Panel Wagon in “All There” condition, owned by the same family since 1959. Original California vehicle, it was parked in 1963 in Hollywood, California, by the second owner. In 2009, to avert a sale to the junkyard, another family member moved it to a garage in Duarte, California, in 2009, with the goal of fully restoring it, but time and space are simply not resources available at this time. As such, it’s time to find it a new caretaker.

The body – All of the steel is clean and straight except for tiny square windows that were installed at the rear of the panels; the doors open and close easily; the glass is in very good condition showing only a tiny bit of delaminating occurring at the edges; the trim and brightwork is good, but in need of serious cleaning or replating; there are no major dents or dings to speak of, although the right side area under the door has sustained some light damage; the roof is very straight, like 99% of the rest of this vehicle.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Craig spotted this one. It has some rust, but given the completeness and condition of everything else, this is definitely worth a look.

“1951 Willys Jeep, runs and drives. Looks good, it needs a few things but at 65 years old we all need a few things. I’ve seen much worse go for much more, so $5k is reasonable for condition. Has canvas top (not shown). Tires are almost new.
$5k cash
Reason for selling, it’s my Dad’s and he can no longer drive, so I’m selling for him.
Clear title.
You must come in person, no checks of any kind. No BS. If you text that fine, I’m going to tell you in my reply to call me. I’d rather talk than text, it weeds out all the scamers.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $8500.

Looks solid. Has a variety of updates.

“hunting, off road, trail rides and driving around local town is what this was built for – pinto 2300 4 cylinder, 3 spd manual, lock out front hubs, locker front and limited rear, full cage, etc…..”

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/6053071443.html

Seller lists this as a 1946, but doesn’t have the title. It looks more like a CJ-3A.

“Hasn’t ran in 20 years, I think it might be a little locked up. Body in good shape except surface rust. Missing title.”

https://omaha.craigslist.org/cto/6055778185.html

UPDATE: **Status Unknown**

(12/09/2016) This has an extra data plate on the dash, but I can’t make it out.

“I’m selling our 1943 Willys jeep. This jeep has been sand blasted and is all metal, most of which is original. This vehicle is immaculate, it drives and runs incredibly and will not disappoint. If you’re interested please email me.”

Not sure how much value is here, but there is some parts value. Seller is also kicking in other parts.

‘Selling a 1960 Willys Jeep wagon. It’s a 4×4, 3 speed manual with the twin stick transfer case. It has the 6 cylinder “superhurricane” motor. It is in rough shape. The body has a fair amount of rust, particularly on the passenger floor board and the door bottoms. The engine doesn’t currently run but does spin freely, it ran a few years ago but I’m guessing the ignition points are wore out now. Included with it is a dana 44 rear axle and a dana 30 front axle from a Jeep Grand Cherokee with disc brakes along with the front drive shaft from the same vehicle. All of the brackets have been removed from them as I was planning on fitting them to the willys. It will need to be towed. Price is or best offer. I am not interested in trades.”

There appears to be value here.

“Assorted parts for a cj2a”

https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/pts/6057724414.html

I can’t recall a top with a long narrow window across the back like that. Look like a halftone, yet it doesn’t have a section that fitswithin the cargo area.

“I believe this is a old metal Jeep top, glass window, surface rust but no holes, if interested call or text only no emails as I am unable to answer them Craigslist is an email. Thanks I was informed this could have came off a vintage Willy’s CJ 5 or a half cab for a CJ7”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3950.

(03/20/2017) Has a few updates.

“Refurbished classic CJ. Engine rebuilt, cylinders sleeved, and assembled with balanced parts at 10 over. Steering conversion and shackle reversal done by Stage West. Transmission & transfer case rebuilt by National Transmission. 11X2 brake conversion, 4″ Rancho lift, Jacobs electronic ignition, and Advance Adapters chain clutch control. Meyer hardtop and bikini for the summer. Recored radiator, restitched upholstery ( marine grade vinyl ) Durabak truck bed liner in cab, engine bay, and undercarriage. Vintage Warn 8270 winch, alternator conversion and Optima battery. And much more.
All this work was completed in 1999 with 43,000 on the odometer. It now has 51,413. I just don’t drive it enough to keep it. I haven’t driven it in months so the brake cylinders will need attention. Spare transmission and transfer case included at the asking price”
