Shot of Jim Carter from Vintage Four Wheeler Magazine

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

I bought a May 1975 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine, because it was cheap. I didn’t find anything interesting in it until stumbled across a picture of Jim Carter racing through mud on the last page. Jim and his wife Patti were long time friends of my parents and encouraged them to join the fledgling Wandering Willys Jeep Club. Those that have read my book might recognize the name.

For an unknown reason, JIm isn’t racing their jeep Otis, but someone else’s (or this photo is earlier than 1975). I do recognize that helmet though.

1947 CJ-2A Stewartville, MN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This appears solid.

“THE CONDITION IS CLOSE TO HOW THIS 47 WILLYS JEEP CJ-2 LOOKS IN THE PHOTO’S. IT IS FAR FROM A MUSEUM MODEL BUT IN A PARADE WITH SOME VETERANS RIDING IN IT, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD AND PLEASED WITH OWNING IT. BY THE WAY, BE SURE TO PUT A COUPLE OF FLAGS ON IT. IT IS DECORATED TO SIMULATE A WORLD WAR 2 ARMY JEEP.

IT HAD A REBUILT ENGINE INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT RUNS GREAT. DRIVES GREAT AND IS JUST FUN JEEP TO DRIVE AROUND AND ENJOY THE LOOKS YOU WILL GET.

IT HAS BEEN REDONE 3 TIMES AND I THINK WE DONE A GOOD JOB. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW, THE HELMET GOES WITH, EVERYTHING IN THE PHOTO’S GO WITH IT. WE LEFT THE TRAILER HITCH ON BECAUSE IT IS REALLY WELL MOUNTED AND MIGHT BE HANDY FOR THE NEW OWNERS.”
