Images from the Mid East?

I think at least some of these images are from Israel?  If not, I believe they are from that general area.

The first one might be the newest.  I’m not sure if the grilles and fenders are armored or not, but most certainly appear heavy duty.

Note how thin and tall the tires are on this jeep.

Now, that seat below can’t be comfortable for long drives!

In the two pics below, the people look like they are from ‘Rat Patrol, The Reality Series’.  I think either the jeep in this first pic is a 1948 or the image was taken in 1948?

Chris’ DJ-3A

Searching for something else, I discovered Chris Kelley’s blog and his new Willys: a 1956 DJ-3A with 4wd.  I’ve seen enough DJ-3As with 4wd that I asked Bruce if he knew whether any DJ-3As came with a 4wd package, but to the best of his knowledge (which is the best I know of) he said there was no 4wd option of which he was aware.

Chris writes on his website about new purchase (sept 7 09) “Yep, you’re looking at a 1956 (sort of) CJ3a (sort of) Willy’s Overland Jeep (completely!).  Its sort of a 56 since that’s what the tub plate says.  Its also only sort of a CJ3A since the tub plate also says its a DJ3a, which was a 2 wheel drive version made for the postal service and other delivery trucks.  However, my best guess is that someone replaced the original tub with the one it has now, since this does have 4WD.”

It’s a good looking jeep, though there’s a small ding in the passenger rear, and here some pics from his site:

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2750.

The seller notes there’s rust, but I can’t see much on the pics.  It’s almost ready for the road, but the seller doesn’t mention what it needs. (thanks Robert!)

“1960 Willys 4X4 wagon with original continental ‘226’ 6 cyl engine, 3 spd high an low. Optional lock outs, snow plow and p.t.o. winch. The engine is an excellent factory rebuilt. Body has usual midwest rust with amateur patchs and paint. It drove excellent, but had a click in reverse. I pulled cover off trans an discovered tooth out of reverse idler gear. Have parts to fix. No time this winter. Will offer as is for $2750. Body panels available, and restored these are bringing big bucks. Will consider storing until summer if paid for.”

The seller will take less it sounds like.  The motor isn’t stock.

“I have a 1940’s WWII era Willy’s Jeep that I got with the intentions of restoring but I do not have the time nor money to take on a project like this right now. Send me an email or give me a call (805) 905-1299 if you want to know more or would like to come take a look at it. Make me an offer and it could be yours. Thanks.”
