2018 Archives

UPDATE: Thanks to Blaine for locating a video and some pics!! The below video appeared on this website:

Below is a brochure for Villa Gesell, a resort city founded by Don Carlos Gesell. The brochure was posted to this page, one that includes many pictures, some with jeeps. That could be Don Carlos himself in the driver's seat of the jeep, but I can't possibility say it.

This shows Don Carlo's former jeep. The buyer of it is seated in the jeep. More information here.

Original Post 12/31/2018: Moncholo Deniz shared these pics of a monument to Don Carlos Gesell, founder of Villa Gesell in Argentina (map & history). The monument includes his dog Fifi. Not sure why the sculpture had to include a shovel in the top bow holders.

I tried to locate pics of Don Carlos in a CJ-2A, but couldn't find any online.

These aren't pristine, but still interesting.

Has a government plate on the dash. Is that a modified slat grille or is it a customs one? I can't tell for sure.

It's listed as a 1945, but I don't see anything specific to that year left on it.

Travis shared these parts for sale.

"This is a complete Jeep body with a title. The body is originally from Walck's 4 Wheel Drive. The tailgate, windshield and hood are all stamped with "WILLYS". Everything is in great shape.

The tub, fenders, tailgate and grill will fit a CJ-2A or CJ-3A. The windshield is for a CJ-2A only. The soft top will fit a CJ-2A or MB WWII Jeep. The roll cage will fit the CJ-2A, CJ-3A and MB and the roll cage will fit inside the soft top.

The tub has been modified. It has a Tuffy glove box. The wheel wells have been cut for larger tires (will fit up to 35" tires) and the firewall retrofitted with a Wrangler YJ hanging pedal assembly allowing the use of a hydraulic clutch and power hydraulic brakes. The steering column is from a 1966 Chevy C10 pickup with an integral turn signal switch. The glove box, hanging pedal assembly, clutch cylinder, brake cylinder and steering column all come with the tub.

I will part it out for the prices below or sell it all together for $2500 or best offer.

Please note the soft top is draped over roll cage and not mounted to the tub. This is why it looks wrinkly.

Grill - $100
Fender, Left - $140
Fender, Right $140
Hood - $240
Windshield - $260
Tub - $780
Used Tailgate - $60
