During a roadtrip with family, Mike spotted this unusual jeeprod with a UFO topper on it, cruising in Roswell, New Mexico. The plates indicate the rig is from Texas.

“1967 Jeep Willys Dragon. Great for someone who likes projects. I do not have more pictures and I am unable to get them due to not having immediate access.. if you want to see it you can make an appointment and my husband can meet you. Bought it as a project but I don’t have the time or money to put into it. Does not have an engine in it.. no title only bill of sale. I also bought an Diesel engine that has the transmission which I was going to adapt to the Jeep. But ended up not doing it.

This image was posted a few days ago by Dwayne Brown. I am guessing the the back bed is a modified wagon back? It reminds me a little of the “Tender” wagons. Looks like a great rig!

Interesting truck Jeep/rod build.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/900401554648795
“Up for grabs is my 1956 Jeep Willy. This beast is powered by a Detroit 4-53T also known as a “Screaming Jimmy” it’s a turbo’d and supercharged inline 4 two stroke paired with a beefy 4 speed manual transmission. Perfect for towing around other hot rods or rat rods. Truck is on 37’ tires and sits on a reinforced C10 truck frame with absolutely zero rust. This is a rat truck, it has no AC, it’s loud and rolls coal in every gear. Truck is a manual and requires someone who knows how to drive, however the tranny is solid and clutch is really forgiving. This isn’t a rust bucket, it’s a tasteful rat truck that you can hop in and drive across country with zero doubts. Most reliable rat I’ve ever owned and it’s never left me stranded. Fires up first start and will tow on the hottest day of the year with zero problems. If you’ve read this fair go ahead and shoot me a message, I can talk about this thing all day. Open for trades (I like cool stuff) but cash is king.”

This could make a neat looking build. It has a “Tender” look about it. But, rather than cutting down just a wagon, this one combines a truck with a wagon rear.

“1970 Jeepster Commando Rat Rod. Really fun, I recently bought it and went through all the major components making sure it is solid. It runs really well now, 350/350 with a Ford 9 inch. Front clip is from a 72 camaro. Disc brakes front and rear. Lokar shifter, linkages, transmission dipstick, new wiring harness etc. Flowmaster exhaust, really nice headers. This thing is a head turner. Full take off top. Gauges and lights work. I want to build my own rat rod is the only reason I’m selling/trading. Clean title in hand.”
