Given the plow setup and the fact that this runs, it seems worth a look if you need. a plow jeep.

“1979 J-20 Jeep. Runs and drives. Plow works. Transmission was serviced last year. Used to plow parking lot of shop since 2008. Leaks power steering fluid. Brakes need attention. Truck is rough, don’t expect a gem.”

Barney Goodwin shared this ad and confirmed the rare bed was an early option. He noted, “Just to confirm. We have the leather factory presentation book from September, 1962, and it shows the Townside bed was an option on all 3 models 100, 200 and 300. It’s a really neat book. Actual color photographs pasted into gold printed fames and all the specs and details.. In 1962, the factory hired an additional 1000 employees for the J-series line.”

“Awesome solid restoration project up for grabs! ONE WEEK AUCTION! NO RESERVE! MUST BE PICKED UP BY NOVEMBER 30TH! Original low mileage 1963 Willy’s Jeep Gladiator J200 4×4 with the Townside bed and Western Plow. Tornado 260 engine with the 3-on-the tree standard transmission. This truck is extremely solid for a truck that spent much of it’s life as a camp plow truck in the Adirondacks. Very low 29,151 miles on it. It will run and drive however the mechanical fuel pump died and the previous owner put in an electrical unit that has too much pressure and it keeps flooding the carb. Aside from that, all I can think of that it would need is some new rubber gaskets on the gas tank filler pipe. They dried out. Continue reading →

Not a jeep nor is it 4WD, but I thought it an unusual truck.

“Description: Serial #: Unknown, Tire Condition: New, Restoration Status: Restored, Fuel Type: Gas, Electric Start, Wide Front, Notes: Does have front and rear hitch. New Fidelity 9.00-20 tires all the way around. Also comes with lights and fenders.”

“This is a 67 jeep wagoneer, it’s in pretty damn good shape for its age. All original nothing has been messed with really. Super fun to drive and just a cool vehicle. It has a little bit of a cooling problem and the filler neck needs replaced for the fuel tank. Found them online for $35.”

Lots of work and money to restore these.

Here’s an odd go-kart like Offroad/snow vehicle. Anyone recognize it?

Chris forwarded this nice looking Commando. It appears to have been built by Jeep Viasa and imported from Spain based on the data plate.

“1969 Jeep Commando Jeepster * 33k km * 4×4 *Removable Top * Runs Great * Manual Rare ‘69 Commando, You are welcome to come drive it. *Note this is a Commando not Commander as ad says. 1969 Kaiser Jeepster Commando Wagon”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.

This is considered an early (if not the first) side-by-side.

I have for sale a 1970 lockley wrangler ! I bought this Unit with plans to change a few things ! Hate to get rid of it ! Runs and drives As it should ! It has a Predator 420cc engine and a forward and reverse transmission ! This unit has been all redone !”

Martin shared this rig. This one runs across drives. It could be a handy rig to have around.

“1943 Ford Burma Jeep, this particular truck was a bomb service truck for the Navy during World War II. It has the in-line six ford engine that starts easy and runs smooth. It has a 10,000 pound Braden PTO winch that works great and has new cable. The four wheel drive works as it should in both high and low range, high range is pretty low as top speed is only 45 mph. It does have a leak here and there as you would expect from something of this vintage but does run well and drives and stops. This would make a good farm rig or a good restoration truck for a military collector, as I read there were approximately 15,000 of these trucks made in five different configurations, I don’t know how many of them survived. I would be open to offers / trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

While looking for jeeps I stumbled upon this unusual van. Looks like it would make an unusual food truck or other unique vehicle. That’s one big winch!

“According to a museum I’m consulting with, there were less than 1300 of these made and less than 50 in existence. Entertaining offers but don’t bother in the comments, compose a decent message or call Carroll’s truck parts in Galion Ohio”

UPDATE: Here’s another article on the Porsche Jagdwagen, Porsche’s answer to the jeep.
