“I am selling my 1953 Willys CJ3B. The price is listed fair and I am firm on it.

Wanted: 6-Wheeled Truck from Memphis, Tn

No pics provided.  I did a search for 6-wheeled trucks, but didn’t find any.

“While I was stationed at Millington in 1978 I helped a local man build a six wheel Willys Pickup truck. We lengthened the truck and added a second rear axle. I recently bought a 1950 Willys truck to restore and I am trying to get in touched with the owner of the truck I helped build. I would like to get some pictures of the work we did to this truck.”

Wanted: Specific 1962 Truck in Southern California

The buyer is looking for a specific truck that was in the family.

“I am looking for a 1962 Willys pickup that looks similar to the one in the photos seen here. My grandfather purchased it new and drove it everyday until 1994. There is a long story with this vehicle but to make it short, I would greatly appreciate any information leading to it’s location. I heard it was sold to somebody in southern Cal so I’m posting here. The original C.A. black plate begins with M52.”

Jeep Reef — I know, it’s not really a jeep, but it’s cool

It’s been about four years since I last scuba’d in the Caribbean.   Getting my picture next to “Jeep Reef” in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park would be a great next dive.  Note to self:  Book trip to Bahamas …. leave jeep at home.

According to this website, The Jeep Reef  “is one of the prettiest reefs you will ever see. The strong current that sweeps through this cut keeps the reef ‘s corals very healthy. This dive can only be done at slack tide because of the strong currents . It is in the middle of the Exumas Land & Sea Park, so you will find a very healthy population of fish. This dive site gets its name from a coral encrusted jeep that sits near the mooring.”

Inspired by the Castro/Guevara video I found, Esteban went hunting for a couple more vintage pics from that era.  Sebastian has generously shared those with us below.  Esteban also found what Sebastian believes is “a very special since it could be the first Willys ad ever in Colombia. It was published before the jeeps arrived to the country. It is basically inviting people to reserve their jeeps before arrival time.”

Kempner Power Wagon Museum

Originally posted June 15, 2009 (See, there is even a Power Wagon Museum!)

At some point early in his driving life, my dad owned a red Dodge Power Wagon.  I’ve never ridden in one myself, however I found a place where I can explore several different models: The Kempner Power Wagon Museum.

The Kempner Museum is an owner-owned museum, with the owner displaying vehicles and other items he has collected over the years.  Recently, the owner, with his wife’s blessing he notes, built a building to house the trucks and other related materials.

This museum does not take a ‘hands off’ approach, rather people can climb into these vehicles, touch and explore them.

The museum is located in Kempner, Texas (museum info), which is roughly 150 miles south of Dallas.  I’m adding to my list of places to visit soon.
