Here’s a Joe Dope poster advocating for soldiers to take it easy on the jeeps.
More Great Willys from Colombia
The eWillys Bogota-Col0mbia/Butler-Pennsylvania reporting bureau has contributed another great batch of pictures from Colombia. When’s the last time you were out with so many nearly stock flatties? Clearly, Colombia will have to be a must-stop location on my trip around the world. Thanks for sharing Sebastian!
Sebastian writes: I was able to put together some pictures of Willys near Bogota. As you can see, these pictures are very different from those that I shared with eWillys readers previously. Most of the Willys in Colombia are located near the coffee plantations, which is lower in elevation compared to Bogota (4500′ msl vs. 7500′ msl). In Bogota you don’t really see highly loaded jeeps; plus, since it is colder and rains constantly, every one has a soft top. These pictures are from a Willys ride last month. My father took my CJ-3B at the end of August for a nice ride with the “Willys Country Club” of Colombia. This is the club that we belong down there; Dad usually rides with them on his CJ-3A [editor’s note: that’s the pic in the upper right].
The “Willys Country Club” of Colombia is a remarkable group (established in 1995). As you can see below, their Willys are in excellent shape. Even though I have ridden with them on many occasions, my 3B is not officially one of the club jeeps since they only allow low hoods. That is the reason why my father usually takes his CJ-3A.
I am attaching a map that hopefully will help you to understand Colombia better.

“This is a great project vehicle that I just don’t have time to work on. It has been parked for many years in hopes of restoring it. The last time we tried to start it up, the engine (a big block chevy engine) started fairly easily so it is my hope that it would run with a tune-up. The body is in pretty good shape with some surface rust. If you are looking for a Willy’s to restore to original, this isn’t the one for you as some modifications (diamond plating, different engine, seats) have been made. I have quite a few parts and accessories – tune-up parts, new (gently used) tires, a new hood and tail gate, etc. call Ian at 206-853-1392”

Avast Me Hearties …
Yep, tomorrow is September 19, International Talk like a Pirate Day. How did this great holiday begin? The story is it began with a couple of guys on a racquetball court when they spontaneously slipped into piratese. Following the match, having had more fun than ever, they decided there needed to be a ‘Talk like a pirate day’. So, on June 6, 1995, they arbitrarily decided to make September 19 (a day picked because nothing else happened on that day) the magic day.
All they needed now was a spokesperson, someone to inform the masses. Who better, they thought, then Dave Barry. Well, it took 7 years, but they finally got Dave’s attention and he wrote a column about their unique holiday.

You’ll need a BIG trailer, but it looks like it might be a good deal if the frames are straight and if you have the space to store all this.

A jeep motor from the same era is included- it did run when it was removed and has been stored inside. Trannys, transfer cases, extra hoods grills windshields- lots of good usable jeep parts. One of the frames is a cj with a lift kit the other is a willy’s. Also included is a bell housing to fit a 350 chevy motor to a jeep tranny, and a hood and grill from a 70’s mail jeep.”
