This Land Rover was important from Paraguay and does not have a US title.

“1968 Land Rover Santana – Imported from Paraguay (South America). Left Hand Drive, Diesel, Manual Transmission. Solid project for a rugged daily or full high end restoration and custom project. Overlander. Camping. Paint is original brown under the blue wrap. Was used as a rural ambulance in Paraguay. Comes with the Land Rover branded winch in unknown condition but that has to rare? Series III (series 3) 109 pre Defender 110 model but similar look. Very cool rare vehicle. 5 door. Has seats for 10. Has the safari roof with vents under it. This is a legally imported Land Rover from Paraguay. The title is still foreign but I will help the new owner transfer the title to US…I just didn’t do it due to having brought in 6 cars at once and no need to do everything 2x since I’m not keeping it. I WILL HELP YOU GET THE TITLE IN YOUR STATE! Engine and drivetrain are complete but in unknown operational condition other than they turn freely.”

1985 CJ-10 Tug Amarillo, TX $3000

This has already had an engine change. It might make an interesting project for someone.

“This is a project vehicle! It is a 1985 Jeep CJ-10. Very rare Jeep, it was originally used as an aircraft tug by the Airforce. I have tried to turn it into overland/ rock crawler Jeep. Originally had the Nissan SD33 diesel in it, but was swapped for a Chevy In-line 7 292. Bored .030 over, big block valve train, head studs, Clifford intake, self made turbo charger kit. Automatic transmission to dual transfer cases. I believe a NP203 and NP205. 14bolt and Dana 44 8-lug conversion. Gear ratios unknown. The fenders were made to fit my old 38’s. The wheels on it are just cheap wheels I got to roll it around while I worked on it. 38’s are not for sale. This is a project vehicle and needs some work.”

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a sign that 2020 is almost over …

Mark shared this photo of a CJ-2A and a successful turkey hunt. Per a website about Texas license plate history, the plate indicates this is a 1950 plate, meaning it is likely a 1950 photo. Unfortunately, the KT on the left side of the plate is not a county abbreviation or code.

Early Tractor Race Video

They aren’t jeeps, but they are definitely off road (and through buildings). Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing this unusual video. The race took place in 1920s New Zealand according to youtube.

CJ-2 Fire Jeep Photos

This nice little nugget of Willys history has been posted since 2011, but somehow I missed it. The Kaiser Willys blog has three photos of a CJ-2 (not CJ-2A) Fire Jeep that includes the “JEEP” plate across the front of the windshield.

Perfect Jeep and Parts Co. Catalog on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’ve seen a Perjeco catalog (note that name is the cable address), but not a Perfect Jeep catalog. I’m not sure how those two companies are related (or maybe one is just a DBA). The catalog is probably not worth much.
