This hunter has a ’52 title, but a CJ-2A body. It might be a mixed bag.

“1947 Willys Hunting Jeep and transport trailer. This vehicle has a clear Texas title and is listed on the title as 1952 cj. It is a 1947 by its body design and motor. It runs good but burns a little oil. 4- wheel drive and transfer case works well.”

1958 FC-170 Ocala, FL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Unusual • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.

Designed for carrying hunting dogs and more makes this an unusual FC.

“Up for auction is this unique 1958 Jeep FC-170. This is a Forward Control model with a 3-speed manual shift. The previous owner had the rear body fabricated especially for hunting. The hunting body features upper and lower seats that still have the original protectors on them. The body was designed for transporting and running hunting dogs. It features kennels for the dogs, coolers, a water tank, and racks for holding guns. This is a well designed and built unit, with solid doors, sturdy frame, it even has cushioned armrests on the hunting seats. The upgraded front bumper features a wench. Previous owner said that the mileage shown was original.

This Jeep has currently been started up and driven a small distance. The engine sounds great and the brakes seem to be working. The headlights are also working. The wench on the front has not been tested out. This is a solid and pretty complete Jeep for a 1958. The previous owner kept it in a garage since 1976 (the last time it was registered). It does need new tires and a brake checkup, once those are done it should be ready for use.

The cab is in good shape, the floor pans are solid.”

Year? CJ-5 Hunting Project Mirando City, TX on eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller labels this a 1945 Military Jeep M-38. It looks more like a non-military CJ-5. Someone went all out with the deer blind mods! Definitely one-of-a-kind!

“Today we have for sale a Military Willys M38 Jeep that was converted and used as a deer blind for hunting in south Texas.

The engine was removed after an attempt to restore the jeep but it has been left unattended for a long time. Situations in the family changed that won’t allow this to happen.

============

David Silberman forwarded this unusual photo from a rare April 1951 issue of Willys Salesbuilder. This one looks like it might have been build on a Jeepster platform.

Customized Hunting Wagon in Texas & a Design Competition

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This is an older post first published April 13, 2010:

I was surfing the net looking for a jeep drawing and, instead, came across an interesting 1963 hunting wagon on a blog hosted by Local Motors. I had not heard of Local Motors, but this company describes itself (in the about section) as a ‘New American Car’ company that builds cars in regional Micro-Factories.

The blog contained both a video about 1963 Willys Wagon and a still picture (see the video below).  If you like those Texas hunting vehicles, go to this link and check out some of the crazy non-jeep hunters down the right side of the page, such as the suburban hunter.
