Post-war vehicles for sale on kijiji.ca

[Cornholio]

I came across the following ad on Kijiji and something caught my eye that just didn't look right.

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...dIdZ234272672#

Is it me or is that not a M151 tub on a M38 frame with the front clip somehow joined to the tub?

Anybody know the owner? Just wondering how that was classified coming through the border and what it is registered and plated as now.

[Grant Bowker]

One good thing about it... I bet the owner has never gone to a show and pulled up beside 15 more vehicles just like his...

[peter simundson]

....the base is not an M38, it's a CJ2A civilian. And the owner insists the work was done by the US Military.
He has imported another jeep from the US and is having it restored.

Stay tuned.

If only for the sake of the children, I hope he isn't having the next one restored to look like this one.

the horror....

[gjamo]

This looks like a better deal.

[Cornholio]

Thanks for the inside info Peter. I just want to shake my head looking at that thing.

I know these trucks very well indeed!! I towed them to their present resting place with the mighty DiamondT, several years ago!! The ad is quite amusing!!

[Grant Bowker]

It sounds like there is more to the story....
I wondered why the ad doesn't show one of the fresh rebuilds instead of the other one, or does it? After all, why not show off the best to attract buyers?

[Bill Mulholland]

Grant; There certainly is - but not on a public forum.

Bill, You can unload the shotgun. I don't think any of the Barn Boys will be doing any border raids anytime soon (until the summer, that is).

Any news on the Fredericton HUP?

Regards, as always,

Clarke sends

[Bill Mulholland]

Rob; Not worried so much about border raids as libel, slander,etc. I had supper with "The Bard of Maces Bay" a week or so ago, and understand there will be a recovery from that loc come the good weather.

Chris, give a hand to the fella who registered to our forum just yesterday, and asks "what is kijiji" ?

Hi Kostas

link to Toronto Kijiji: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/

From the website: "Kijiji is Canada's most popular free, local classifieds site. Kijiji offers a convenient, fun, and easy way for people in the same city to buy, sell, trade and help each other out in areas such as goods, cars, services, housing and jobs. The word "kijiji" (pronounced like key-gee-gee) means "village" in Swahili. This name was chosen because it captures the essence of what we are creating - a site where people can connect with others in their community. "

If you go to the bottom of the page you will see links to the same thing for many other countries. Here is the link for Greece:

Hope this helps. Enjoy your new HUW.

Cheers,

Far be it for me to besmirch or run down anyone trying to sell something, but I really think I should make others aware, as some may not know as much as I do.

This advert http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ278922552 has appeared on www.Kijiji.ca and purports to be a vehicle in Canada.

I have spoken to the advertiser by phone and he told me it is road legal and ready to go.

The sharper eyed ones of you may notice that the turn signals are not present at the front so it would NOT pass a provincial safety anyway.

The even keener eyed ones might notice that the Ford parked behind is actually UK registered. On pointing these issues out the seller backed off and admitted that it is not in the country as yet but could be.

Just thought the unwary should know.

Looks like its in Liverpool and someone was interrupted in the process of jacking it up on bricks.

[Robin Craig]

I have tracked the vehicle down as being owned by Paul Toner in Scotland and as yet have not made contact with him but will do soon.

Amazing what you can find out in the matter of a day with the world wide web and some well placed questions, what a wonderful time we live in!
