I’m taking today off, but here’s one post for everyone.

James Turner from Mississippi emailed me the other day.  A self-described ‘jeep freak’, James and his brother bought their first jeep, a 1947 CJ-2A, in 2008. Out of it they created a nice looking military replica. Since then they’ve added a 1942 GPW they are currently restoring, a 1952 M-38A1 that looks in great shape, a 1951 M-38 that they plan to restore and a 1946 CJ-2A. At this rate they’ll soon have their own private jeep force.

Here’s the 1947 CJ-2A they restored:

Steve forwarded this website which specializes in used Eastern European Tanks, Trucks and 4WD vehicles. The Prague based company, MORTAR INVESTMENTS, claims it is “a global dealer in soviet, post-communist, namely Russian, Czechoslovak (Czech and Slovak), Polish and Hungarian military vehicles, tanks, BMPs, howitzers,  trucks, jeeps,motorbikes and armaments for civilian purposes and specialist in armoured vehicles repairs,demilitarisations, reconstructions, restorations and refurbishments.”

One example: GAZ-69 Project for $3896

This is a project, but the site does have some suggestions for importing into the USA, including the necessary forms.

In Nov of 2012 this GPW was on eBay. It also appears earlier here.. It was eventually sold to a dealer in the UK who in turn sold it to David Fairhead. David is wondering if anyone knows who the seller from Pennsylvania. He’s hoping to learn more information about its history. (BTW, he’s already successfully found some additional info at G503 — it was originally in Maryland).
