We posted this blog back in February and have held on to the Colonel as long as possible. Unfortunately things have not gotten better and we are forced to sell the Colonel within the next couple months. I wanted to re-post this up on FW.com before putting it up on eBay.

If you have been following along with our installments, you'll know that the Colonel is a '51 CJ-3A, powered by a vintage flathead, sporting Bilstein shocks and Deaver springs. There is hardly any rust, and the body is straight, although the paint isn't perfect, it sure looks nice and rates probably 7/10. The old Jeep has a rear seat and YJ seatbelts. We have added a Tuffy center console, Advanced Adapters Saturn Overdrive, tach and Line-X to the cargo area. The stock diffs have been stuffed with lockers front and rear, and the brakes are 11-in units all the way around with custom Stockton wheels wearing 30-inch BFG M/Ts. While in my possession, the Willys has enjoyed wheeling from California to Moab.

This is the rare chance to own a vintage Flat Fender and a piece of Four Wheeler history. I thought I would offer it up to our Four Wheeler readers first, but it will probably be up on eBay by July. Serious inquiries only can be directed to sean.holman@sorc.com.
