UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $7500.

(06/08/2012) This looks nice.  I wonder if it includes a M-606 designation on the data plate or VIN.  I suspect that’s a replacement body, too.

“1966 Jeep CJ3B. This is a very rare military version classified as an M606 with factory 225 V6. It does not have any Willy’s stampings on body because it was built after Willys was sold out.

UPDATE:  Was $5500. **Status Unknown**

(04/09/2012) This looks in good shape.

“TRADE I have a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This vehicle has been used in numerous car and Jeep shows. It is drivable and is in excellent running condition. This Jeep has a front tow bar, so it can be flat towed. It is 90% original, other than some added on diamond plating and a half top roof. This vehicle is one of the Jeeps that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being part of the World’s largest Jeep only parade in Butler, PA 2011 (Certificate of authinticity is available).
I am looking to trade for a inspected and running Jeep Wrangler (prefer automatic transmission, 4 or 6 cylinder) of equal value.
I am looking for a “daily-driver” now instead of an occasional “summer-drive show” vehicle.”

(05/17/2012) This doesn’t run; it probably needs a fuel pump. This appears to have a MB body.

Updates Sunday Evening

We are busy at the beach, so no updates until Sunday morning.

Here are a few pics from our trip to Seattle and then down to Seaside, Oregon.  Note that instead of writing something mushy or loveydovey in the sand, Ann took it upon herself to draw and photograph eWillys in the sand.  Why she was thinking of you all while spending time at the beach with me is beyond me . . .

Here we are taking a break from our hike on Chinook Pass (ok, we only hiked from the car to the sidewalk).

Here’s a nice shot with Mt. Rainier in the background.

I’ve heard of food trucks, but not food boats!  Ann had eaten here and said we had to stop.  The place is called Bowpickers and is located in Astoria, Oregon.  They do fish and chips and that is it.  Their fish is locally caught albacore tuna.  It was very very good.

Here’s Ann’s toes showing their creative side:

No, we aren’t married yet.  We happened to have Ann’s veil in the car, so we pulled a practical joke on her family . However, her Uncle Bob really is marrying us July 28th.

Jeep Monument in Galleta Meadows Estate in California

According to the website, “Dennis Avery, land owner of Galleta Meadows Estates in Borrego Springs envisioned the idea of adding ‘free standing art’ to his property with original steel welded sculptures created by ‘Perris Jurassic Park’ owner/artist/welder Ricardo Breceda based in Perris, California.”  One of the sculptures he commissioned was a tribute to the jeep (or jeeping, I don’t have specific information about the sculpture).

You can learn more here

You can see a variety of jeep pictures here

These pictures were photographed by Bob Perry and posted at Flickr.  Note that there are no boulders under the jeep at the time they were taken in 2010.  However, as of 2012 there are now boulders, suggesting the jeep is climbing over them.

Looks nicely restored. I wonder if it was really painted yellow for the private airport.

“Our 1953 Airforce Jeep is for sale…….It was used as a “FOLLOW ME” Car. The restauration including the engine was done ca. 5 Years ago.

The jeep was only used as a “Follow Me” vehicle on a private airport since then, and has less than 450 miles on the new engine.24 Volt System.

The car is in nice shape.”
