STERLING STINGER Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 so I'm driving down the road and i see this thing sitting in the front yard...of course i gotta stop to see it. 1967 m510a i guess it was a little missle launcher at some point. the guy has no clue about the background. selling it for 10K Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found neat huh? so then i start snooping around his yard and i came across this. 1947 cj2a he told me he would include all the parts he has for it, and its alot. i guess from what he says, its everything else needed to restore it to almost 100% $500 takes it all...no title, but he may be able to get one. is it worth it?....the jeep not the rocket launcher....oh yeah, the launcher has a jeep engine in it too!

mythreesons Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 You should listen to that gut feeling of yours. There is a reason that your gut made you perk up at the CJ. YES! Spend the money! Even if you don't rebuild it, which you should, a few well placed advertisements will provide a sale. On the other hand, if you put the snow plow on the front of the 510a, your business would increase just for the sheer "cool" factor. Your customers would be begging you to plow with it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 that would be cool to plow with....I'm gonna go see what other parts he has for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 that would be cool to plow with....I'm gonna go see what other parts he has for it. No, it would be an abomination if you made that into a plow truck. It's a piece of American history that deserves to be restored and taken to parades and car shows.

jpnjim Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 that would be cool to plow with....I'm gonna go see what other parts he has for it. If you lived in Alabama you could daily drive it, as is. :yes: I'd like it for a little pocket sized trail truck. :thumbsup: If you're running stock sized tires, you can even get it back & forth to the trails inside the bed of a LWB fs pickup.

mfpdm Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Two nice pieces of history. Took awhile to find anything on the M501. Here's a couple of links for those interested. http://www.madracki.com/usarmyhawk/drawings.html http://home.comcast.net/~bcole3/517tharty/BatteryD.htm Oh, and buy the CJ :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche13 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 CJ all the way and if it comes with stuff to almost fully restore for that price its well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 the mj is easier though. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche13 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 yeah but its an 86 and that CJ is harder to find well at least up here maybe you'll have to settle for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motion Offroad Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Does he have the tub for the Willy's? The tub is expensive to replace if he does not have it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richasco Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 The front frame horns look nice and straight which is rare. That said, the back of the frame has been cut. I have a spare junk frame that has a good rear section if you do decide to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 be said the tub was rusty how much and do u have pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 offer him less, if he has to duct tape his for sale sign together, he is obviously hurting for cash and would take less. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
