You are bidding on a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. I found this little beauty in a covered shed on a farm near my home in central New Mexico.  From what I understand it had not been used in nearly 20 years which I guess qualifies as a barn find.   I am no expert but I’ll give you my opinion on the condition.  It appears to be in what I consider very good condition. The “Go Devil” 4 cylinder engine has great oil pressure, runs great with no smoke and appears to be very happy.  The transmission shifts and shows no signs of jumping out of gear (it is missing the shift knob). The 4 wheel drive seems to be operating properly.    It has been converted to 12 volt and has a new battery and rebuilt starter.  The cooling system seems to be in good shape. The body is in good condition. Note the diamond plate that has been put on the floor and rear fender wells. It looks to have been professionaly done.   The seat looks to be of the original type but is not permanently mounted as it will need to be upholstered.  As seen in the photos the steering wheel isn’t original.   The seals in the transfer case and differential covers are leaking but some old timers say that’s from sitting and will slow down as the seals swell.  That appears to be correct.  The throw out bearing is growling but that to seems to be getting better as it is driven.  The tires have a lot of tread but are very old and not road worthy. The chassis has had some repairs over the 66 years but looks pretty darn good.  The frame rails behind the front bumper have had the reinforcement plates added (hence the reassigned VIN).   Restore it or enjoy it. Bottom line is it’s not perfect but several knowledgeable people have told me this is one of the best they have seen in years. This isn’t a rusty piece of junk.  It has a reassigned VIN & clear New Mexico title in my name. This Willys Jeep is located in Los Lunas, NM approx 20 miles south of Albuquerque. You’re the experts so ask questions before you bid.  I have a low reserve.  Winning bidder to pay $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auction end via paypal, balance due within 7 days.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  Vehicle will not be released until my bank is satisfied that funding is complete.  Good Luck   venner@aol.com

Infiniti looking for a new boss after Christian Meunier leaves to lead Jeep

Wed, May 8 2019

Nissan's premium division Infiniti is expected to announce a new acting global chief for the brand, the company said, after its current head, Christian Meunier, left to lead the Jeep unit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Nissan's chief quality officer Christian Vandenhende will oversee Infiniti's global operations effective immediately, until a new brand chief is named, Infiniti said in the statement on Tuesday. Meunier, 51, was named Infinit's global chief in early January after its previous boss Roland Krueger left the Hong Kong-based brand. Meunier will take over as global president for SUV-focused Jeep effective immediately, Fiat Chrysler said in a separate statement. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley had been running Jeep until he was elevated to the top job in July after the death of Sergio Marchionne. Meunier has international experience from his years with Ford, Land Rover, Nissan and Infiniti, which may prove valuable as Jeep attempts to expand overseas with a lineup of new products including the Gladiator pickup, a Wrangler plug-in hybrid, and the revived Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer nameplates. He's worked mostly in sales and marketing roles, including as senior vice president of sales, marketing and operations for Nissan North America; chairman of Nissan Canada; and his recent role heading up Infiniti. An Infiniti spokesman said Meunier's resignation was not related to Nissan's internal investigation into its former leader Carlos Ghosn.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.
