"Willys Jeep. New brakes, master cylinder and entire brakes. Wheels blasted and painted and new tires and tubes. New seats with original frames. This Jeep has a PTO but needs the shaft. Runs and drives good but motor could use a rebuild. New gas tank and lines the body is rough but could be used depending on what you plan to do with the Jeep. Battery does NOT come wit it. Great to restore or just continue to use as is. The cab was added from an old truck many years ago and it works pretty good. This is your chance to own a classic Willys."
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was This has an early, hard to find Willys Overland Cab manufactured by Laurel Worman.

Some dents and dings on the passenger side and has some floor rust.
"This is a mechanically beautiful truck hiding inside a well patinated body. I've been driving it all over Petaluma this year, enough that it's become well known and loved. I'd keep it forever, but our first baby will be here next month, and I have five cars that can't hold a baby seat. D'oh!
Here's a list of recent work: - new radiator, thermostat, hoses, belts - new cap, rotor, points, condenser - new spark plug wires, plugs, coil, battery, battery cables - rebuilt carb - oil change, filter - new fuel tank, all new lines & hoses, new fuel pump and fuel filter - new or rebuilt all wheel cylinders and master, new lines and soft hoses - axle seals (inner and outer, front and rear) replaced and packed wheel bearings, new swivel seals - greased all chassis lube points - rebuilt original Dualmatic locking hubs - new rear main seal, timing cover seal, crankshaft seal, oil pan gasket, rocker cover gasket - new muffler and rear portion of exhaust - fresh tune-up including valve adjustment - new NDT tires and tubes - new full top bow set and Sunbrella canvas half cab - 48" farm jack mounted to front bumper
More good things: - original chaff guard included (hard to find) - starts easily, runs very well, shifts, steers, brakes etc. just as it should - tow bar included for easier transport - spare engine with all ancillaries comes with it; very handy for reference and emergency spares - original black CA plates with current registration
Current needs: - speedometer broke and was taken out to send to rebuilder; can rebuild or buy new one from Walck's for $75 (maybe less on ebay) - fuel tank sender needs replacement; registers ok between 1/4 and empty so at least you know when you need gas - obviously needs body and paint if you want to win a show. Most people (including me) seem to get a bigger kick out of the patina that only 66 years of existence can produce - rust through on passenger floor and bottom of tool box, pitted driver's floor; otherwise just surface rust - new owner may want new front seat canvas ($110 from New Life Canvas, screws in place) - windshield vent levers are not installed (they are included with the truck)"
This does have a hard-to-find Meyer Super Cab, but outside of that there's nothing particularly rare here. Looks pretty solid. I'm not sure why there is a red X on the driver's die where the mirror should be.

That's a rare Kelly/Beck half cab. There is some parts value here.
"I am selling a CJ-6 that I picked up a few months ago. In one of my weaker moments when I evidently thought that I had somehow found the determination to actually finish a project I drove to VA to get this.
Here is what I know about it.
I drug it home and pulled the head in an attempt to unlock the engine, but didn't have any success.
The good: Seems to be mostly complete no major pieces missing Frame is in good shape, no major rust that I have found. Would be a great candidate if someone wanted to buy a tub kit to put on it. Custom one off front bumper! :D
The bad: No title Body is pretty much shot and has had a lot of repair work that makes it look better than it actually is Engine is seized from sitting so long"
This is a good looking CJ -- must be those rims. Sounds like price is negotiable, partly due to a possibly bad bearing up front.
"1961 Jeep Willys CJ5 for sale. 221cu in V6. 4 speed Muncie transmission. Brand new Warn Overdrive. Low gears-great for off-roading. 4x4 works well. In 4x4 low you could get out and walk next to it. There is some noise from the front transmission bearing. Mechanic told me it's about $500 to fix. I will take this in to consideration when negotiating price. Motor is strong. Speedo stopped working about 300 miles ago-cable broke. Comes with bikini top, half doors, full soft top, full soft doors. Has original bumper tow hitch and a Warn 1000 winch on the bumper. Tires are in good shape w/ spare on back. Carburator recently rebuilt. New radiator/thermostat/intake manifold gaskets/head gaskets. Just needs a little t.l.c. Make me an offer. Come test drive it. Jason"
(02/11/2022) The half-top looks refurbed/customized and the roof of this half-cab extends a little too far over the front. It seems that would be a big wind catcher at any decent rate of speed.

(09/29/2012) This solid looking CJ-3A looks like all it needs is a paint job to be a good looking jeep. The nicely made half top out of boat material is very interesting too. Whoever made those could probably sell a few -- it is hard to find bikini tops for the early CJ's, especially ones that fit so nicely.
"I bought this Willys from my uncle about 5 years ago. He used it in an apple orchard for many years to pull apple wagons so it went with out license tags for MANY years. It was only driven during apple harvest season so it got few miles usage each year. He and I both always stored it in the garage and never drove it in the winter. He had the engine overhauled about 9 years ago when he forgot to put oil in it during an oil change. When I got it the tranny and transfer case growled terrible do to many years with bad boots on the shift levers letting in water and dirt. I installed rebuilts about 5 yrs ago and it now runs very quietly. It is used as a summer putt around vehicle here in Deadwood SD so has been seen by MANY in this area. It purrs around nicely at speeds up to 50 mi/hr with out the typical WILLY WOBBLE. Driven mostly around mountainous terrain with out heat problems. (I had the radiator boiled out before I put it on the road 5 yrs ago). Lights and brakes work good. New windshield and windshield hinge gasket 2 yrs ago. New plastic under seat gas tank (same design as original). New gas sending unit which does not register correctly--I think it might be for a 12 volt. Other gages work fine. New speedo cable but speedo JUMPS when connected (Maybe the wrong drive gear was put in during rebuild). Emergency cable is missing but other parts including handle are included. Has warn lock outs in the front diff. It shows very little rust. The frame and floor are in good condition. The SURRY top(2 yrs old-made of boat cloth) and frame comes off very easily so windshield can be folded down. This is a very nice little Willys which I am selling only because have another."
This looks like a nice combo. I think I've seen this jeep previously.
"For sale is a combo, restored 1956 Willys CJ-5 jeep and 1966 Bantam civilian 1/4 ton jeep trailer. They were both restored and painted to match just a few years ago, then stored in a building. The jeep has a metal half cab, heater, new upholstry, Ramsey 8,000 lb winch that has never had the cable spooled out, Warn over-drive, original 4 cylinder overhead that runs great, new front hubs, roll bar, small driving lights inside the grill, rack on the back for extra spare tire and handy-man jack and 5 gallon gas can (included). The trailer is a 1966 Bantam 1/4 ton civilain trailer (more rare than the military version), wood racks, spare tire, detachable tool box, and wired to match the jeep. PLUS, this also comes with a full set of mud and snow tires for BOTH the jeep and trailer, already mounted on a full set of spare wheels. I will not split the set up, this is a package deal. Compare the price of this set to a new "Rhino" at close to $11,000, and it makes this jeep and trailer look well worth the price. I have more money invested than the asking price of this jeep and trailer, with the restoration, extra tires and wheels... Clear Oregon titles. These pictures were taken about a week ago. I am also selling a 1960 CJ-5 in another listing. Thanks!"
UPDATE: Terry points out that Ford used the marketing term "Sports Utility" in 1966 ads. Previous to that, in 1947, Crosely marketed a "Sports Utility" vehicle.
Crosely (see bottom of the ad):
This 1966 ad for the Ford Bronco has text near the bottom that reads, "Try the Wagon, Roadster, or Sports Utility at your Ford dealer now". The Sports Utility model is the one with the half cab:
Here's a 1966 Ford Commercial that identifies each of the models:
Original Post Jan 31, 2019:Dan 'Scramboleer' spotted this Motor Trend March 2019letter-to-the-editor about the origin of the term 'Sports Utility Vehicle'. Essentially, Jeep's marketing department was attempting to cease the use of the term jeep-like (and similar jargon) to describe offload vehicles. The concern was that it was diluting the value of the Jeep Trademark. So, they came up with the term Sports Utility Vehicle idea. The Journalists took it from there, shortening it to SUV.
