1948 CJ-2A Tigard, OR $1800

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

UPDATE: Still Available

(04/04/2013) This has been disassembled (based on the ad’s text).

“body-off restoration started, no time finish. Body has been sand-blasted and primered.
needs new floor’s and metal repair to area where spare tire bracket goes.
needs brakes
Ran when project started
original 6volt system
toe bar……tows perfectly

Frame and engine all good but not cleaned up yet, tires are fair and on original wheels
Metal frames are there for the top as well as the doors but no canvas
I gladly paid $2600 for it since I didn’t have to have it shipped from out of state. I could deliver in Oregon to right buyer.
Will consider trades. I really want a 1948 Ford F-1 Pickup. If you know anyone that has one please tell me.
Call me at 5oh3-2four6-44oh9 or email thru CL”

Transporting Jeeps via Plane

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

The August 03, 1942, issue of Life Magazine has an article about Transport Planes. The article includes photos of some GPWs. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be wedged in there next to the jeep during a bumpy flight!

You can see the entire article at Google Books

There is a copy of this issue on eBay as well.

1964 Kristi Snow Cat Model KT-4G

• CATEGORIES: Features, Other 4x4s, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul found this unique snow cat made from Kaiser parts. It appears to me to be a CJ-5 body with hardtop combined with a custom FC-looking cowl (with some buck teeth as a grille). There were only two KT-4G models made.

According to the Kristi Snowcat website, “This new vehicle, named the KT-4G, was designed with the aim to reduce costs by maximizing use of standard automotive parts. Kaiser Jeep supplied the CJ-series universal frame and body, while power was delivered by a Chevrolet 6-cylinder engine mated to a Clark four-speed transmission and steering differential. The new Chevrolet engine was water-cooled, allowing for a car-like heating system.”

Sausages and a Toy Jeep

• CATEGORIES: Features, International, videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Hugo in Uruguay spotted this video. Like peanut butter and jelly, ying and yang, Fred and Ginger, Sausages and toy jeeps are a natural fit, right? Well, if you didn’t believe it before, check out this ad that celebrates 100 years of Ottonello sausages. The toy jeep appears at the 15 second mark. After viewing the video, Hugo suddenly remembered that he’d owned a red toy jeep when he was a kid.
