Some Jeep Slides on eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, DJ-3A, FC150-FC170-M677, Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles • TAGS: .

Here are some slides with jeeps currently for sale on eBay. The first one is an unusual tour jeep that I hadn’t seen previously. It’s somewhere at least semi-tropical, based on the upper right tree.

1. Here’s an FC-170 setup as a tour jeep. It appears to include a bed-extension on the back.

2. This slide shows a yellow CJ-5 and a ticket office at Harney Peak Black Hills SD:

3. This next two slides share images from 1962 of a Maine Forest Service MB. This is slide one:

4. This is slide two:
year-maine-forest-serice-mb-25. And, finally, this slide shows a rare yellow DJ-3A used by the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce. I don’t have many vintage photos showing a DJ-3A in the original yellow color (though they do appear on several brochures).

1957 DJ-3A Desert Hot Springs, CA $1600

Seller wants it gone. If truly a 1957, then it is a standard DJ-3A, as the Gala/Surrey weren’t introduced until 1959.

1965 DJ-3A? Hastings, MN $3250
