UPDATE: Was $600. **Status Unknown**

Appears worth a look. Does have some great coloring. The rear bed has been replaced.

“Serial # 22947
Has original data plates. Engine was pulled by previous owner and in the bed of jeep. Body isn’t to bad but has some rust in the usual places spots. Has a dent in rear driver side corner. Missing the radiator. My plan was just to get it running and leave it as it was and use it around the farm. Will need complete restoration, could be used for parts or good base for a rock crawler. No title. Asking $600 obo.”

April 18th: No Updates Until Later Saturday

UPDATE: See all of April 18th’s activities here

We had a great day. There was Monopoly, Pez, Ramen with Dan, and sunset drinks at the Distillery in Moss Beach with my friend Jack. So, more on Friday’s adventure at some point Saturday. For now, I have this one pic. I don’t drink often, but when I do, it is a martini, next to a fire pit, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, as the sun sets. That’s a good way to end the day.

1954 Wagon Missoula, MT $3950

UPDATE:  Price now $3950

“This is a very rare Willys, especially in 4WD!! It has been outfitted with a Chevy 307 V8 and TH400 automatic to the standard Dana/Spicer 18 transfer case. Axles are a conversion from original Dana 44 (5:38) to ’70 Wagoneer with “road gear” (3:54). This is a great little ’54 Willys Sedan Delivery project for someone with body shop experience! Three-quarter body sheet metal patch panels as seen on familiar Willys station wagons are readily available.”

Day 29 – Apr. 17th: Revenge of the Sushi

<– Day 28 – Apr. 16th: Artichokes and Sushi Boats  | OVERVIEW | Day 30-31 – Apr.18th-19th: Bay Area Fun  –>

I had big plans for today — a trip out to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, a walk through downtown Santa Cruz, and an excursion to the Mysterious Mystery spot.

Alas, all that was put aside as I wore a path between the bed and the toilet. Was it the sushi or the artichokes? Who knows, but something didn’t agree with my stomach this morning.

I felt much better by the afternoon. We even made it to dinner the Santa Cruz Diner for dinner (though I had breakfast), which has appeared on a number of food shows.

That’s a mural inside the restaurant. Ann was concerned the mermaid might get her! BTW, she is the understanding wife who hadn’t combed her hair yesterday. She’ll do anything for a photo!

Tomorrow, our plans to locate the worlds largest Monopoly board, visit the Pez Museum, and visit with Dan and see his Traveller will still occur.

One thing I did have time to do today was plot the remainder of our trip. The top is cut off, but I’ll provide that later on in the trip.

One of our stops will be in Georgetown, CA, to see the Jeep Jamboree hometown. I’m not quite sure if we’ll see much at all, but we’ll be close enough that I gotta go.

Here’s a Truck Trend article that includes a variety of vintage Jamboree jeeping photos. Most appear to be downloadable in high resolution, too.
