Claus recently moved from South Africa to Namibia. As part of the move, he drove his restored CJ-2A to his new home. Reminds me of the Southwest.
He writes, “I drove my 48 all the way from Cape Town to my home town of Windhoek along dirt and gravel roads for a total of 1822km (about 1100 miles). Stunning adventure. The first 600km odd km’s up to the border was on tar road and mostly at night. I did that stretch, 589km to be exact in 11 hours with plenty of night driving, but I had to push it to escape bad weather which was following us from the south. The other 1200km odd km were just gravel road and I have a lot of pics. A friend joined me on the trip, didn’t think she would survive as it was wet and very cold at times but we had a blast. My jeep performed so well and I was so proud of her. Went at a slow pace no rush generally we were doing 100miles a day, find a farm were would could camp and off we went again – trip took 7 days.”
Marc spotted this unique press photo of Jack Price.

I’m not sure I want to be in a jeep when I Rhino comes my direction . . .

This might be worth a look. It appears to have a military plate next to the standard data plate.
“1951 Willys Jeep. I have had this for a few years. it runs and drives good. I have it registered as a classic and I use it as my runaround vehicle in the summer. I just rebuilt the transmission. It has a ford 170 straight six out of a 63 fairlane. It has the borg-warner T-90 3-speed transmission. 4×4 work great. tires are decent. I had big plans to restore this all the way but I dont have the $ for it and my parents want it out of their driveway. I have the original bucket headlights and soft top for it. and i had the seats recovered last year.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $7000. Status Unknown.
(09/18/2014) This is a good looking truck.
