This one deserves a closer look, as it *might* be an M-606. Note the ventilated windshield.

“Willys Jeep, Model; CJ3B, also known as M606 military 4×4
Runs very well, good original condition.
Has small crack in windshield and small rust in passenger side floor, otherwise very nice.”
It appears all three are CJ-2As, based on the bodies.

“We have these 3 Willys Jeeps for sale. 47 has a title. Two of them have motors and transmissions, one is the flathead and all three are 4 wheel drive 1/4 ton. All three roll. The first one pictured turns freely, has oil and antifreeze. I think it would start with a good starter, the starter is present but does not work. Fix up or part out, there are lots of parts between the three, you could probably make two good ones out of the three.
This one looks to be a Cj-2A based on the radiator.
I suspect this extended bed was an owner mod, as it’s longer and more permanent than the commercial extensions that were produced.

“Lot going on here. Pump is a Marlowe pump and pumps 720 gpm. Engine may be locked up.It is a 4 cylinder Jeep engine. The tires are off and in barn so that they don’t get weathered. There is a spare pump included. There are two pipe trailers with 5″ and 3″ pipe. Gaskets may need to be replaced. Third trailer with risers and connectors.”
I would be interested to know why the seller believes this was a MP jeep. The driver’s side frame real looks patched.

“These were on a 1963 CJ5. $250. Windows do roll up and down but could use some lubrication.”
The seller notes the title indicates it is a 1955, but the body style, grille and dash suggest late 1940s.

UPDATE: Tom just shared this Google view of how the site looks now. The indents of the oval track can still be seen. He added, “The Pin is in the center of the Mud Race Track. The camp ground is in the trees on the right. The view is looking south“
========================
Tom shared these images from the 1970 Ridge Runners Jeep Race. There’s a couple video clips of the 1977 race just below this one.
Tom added a few historical details I didn’t know, “the Ridge runners had a camp ground on the south side of Ahtanum Creek about half way between Wiley City and Tampico. They rented the land from a guy whose last name was Herkey. The Mud races were held there every Memorial day weekend. You had to ford the creek to get there.”
UPDATE: I haven’t recycled this point since 2009, so many might not have seen it.
=====================
Originally posted Feb 26, 2009: This is another set of excerpts from an episode of Exploration Northwest called ‘Mud Race’. As I reported in the post about the Meeker, aka Naches, Trail post, Linda McCune from the Don McCune Library kindly has given me permission to provide some clips from the Jeeping1 DVD, a collection of 3 episodes of Exploration Northwest related to pacific northwest jeeping. To order this DVD, you can contact Linda McCune at 206 726-2650 and ask for the Jeeping1 DVD. It costs $24.95. I encourage you to purchase is as she has the video for a Jeeping2 DVD, but has not created it yet.
The race was sponsored by the Yakima Jeep Jockeys, a club formed in 1963. They began their 4×4 Championship Racing series in 1971.
The Mud Bowl episode was shown in 1977. Mostly, it follows Jim Merritt as he prepares for the race, discussing a little about how they silicone various items to keep out water. Plenty of video showing different stages of the race. It’s a bit reminiscent of the Florida swamp races, though the water holes aren’t quite as deep or long (If you have never heard of it, you can read about the Florida swamp races at four wheeler’s online magazine and here’s a you tube video from a 1996 race).
From the Mud Race episode, I selected two clips. Clip one shows Jim getting ready to race and shows the driver’s pre-race meeting. The second clip shows the final race with Bill Smith from Tacoma taking the win.
Here’s Clip One:
Here’s Clip Two:
Bill shared this video overview of the Mitsubishi jeep history.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6800. I’m shocked it is this low.

“Fully restored. 1954 Willys Jeep. This Jeep was from Arizona so it is a survivor. With the exception of the tailgate and a few pieces in the drivers footwell, its original metal. In total there’s less than a 1/4 cup of filler and that is in the hood covering an existing weld done years ago. The body was completely stripped, sand blasted and coated with high build epoxy primer so that we could examine for rusty areas. Then coated with 3 coats of Luzon red base and 3 clearcoats. the interior is coated in color matched bed liner, as were the wheel wells. See photos of the d/s floor replacement and top hat stiffeners. The original 15” wheels were blasted and powder coated and fitted with period all terrain tires of the correct proportions.
The transmission including transfer case were rebuilt with new bearings and several “out of spec’n” shafts. A new Saturn overdrive was installed so that you can get down the road at approaching respectable speeds. Most people that pass, just give an energetic thumbs up. (we did see 60mph one time) but typically you’re rushing around at 50-55mph.
The head was removed, and valves recut. The cylinders were still within tolerance, and she exhibits no smoking and uses no oil. The pressures were all within 10% of each other. The drive train has all new CV joints, transmission brake parts and axle seals. The brake master cylinder is new as are the front slave cylinders. The backs had been replaced the year we bought her!
The color is Luzon red, a beautiful deep red that was a Willys color for the 1952 jeeps. The colors for ’54 were slightly better than boring. Just about the first thing people comment about is the color. She has a 2″dia roll bar behind the seats and is fitted with a Bestop top that is easily removed or installed for late fall or spring driving. We keep the top on but doors off and sides rolled up for sun protection.
It’s a fun Jeep, don’t expect to cover hundreds of miles of freeway driving. These post war Jeeps were almost farmers tractors. But with the huge radiator and fan, she will happily rock hop all day.
We literally have thousands of dollars of invoices for the new parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Several folks forwarded this one. Interesting that this has a top with side windows. It just further demonstrates that the CJ-5 and DJ-3A versions of this top were interchangeable.
“1959 Willys DJ-3a jeep and a 1950 jeep for sale. The dj3a will run but the fuel tank is out of it right now but you can hear it run. 1950 cj3a is a complete jeep minis the motor and windshield. Also have lots of extra parts to go with them. No title sold with bos. Located in Griffin ga”
