UPDATE: Still Available

(09/05/2014) It looks to include an overdrive.

https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys-jeep/6548861059.html

“Just testing the waters here, don’t really need to sell it but it is just sitting. Good top,all stock except for tires and wheels. Rebuilt the carb this spring and put a new fuel pump in it. I have not driven it on the road for years. 4wd drive works. Pretty rusty but complete. Also have some spare parts that can go with it. Will consider trades.“

Jeep Commercial: 66 Years of fun

March 16, 2018 • CATEGORIES: videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I ran this post back in 2010. I think it’s time for a repost. 

If this commercial played on TV, I must have missed it.

On a tangential note (and a completely skippable one), one of the shots in the movie appears to show Jane Goodall with some chimpanzees.  My tech company did a co-project with her and ESRI (the Microsoft of mapping software) for an ESRI event in San Diego.  Long story short, we had a party after the event and rented a sushi restaurant.  It turns out ..  well … let’s just say she’s not a fan of eating fish (she’s a serious vegetarian I believe).  OOOPPPSS!  I’m not all that sure she really likes people either, but perhaps it was an off day for her (though I ended up sneaking her out of the back of the restaurant; but that’s another story).  So, the tip of the day is, if you invite Jane to dinner, don’t serve Sushi!

Anyway, enjoy the video:

1944? Jeep Brandywine, MD No Price

UPDATE: Still Available. Description has been updated. Was $400. Now no price.

(07/02/2014) Oh this crazy thing is great! It’s got some floating rear hubs, so very well could have a 1944 chassis.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2018505331808739

“Experimental? 312 engine was informed by the long retired pilot Air Force. Found locally near Hyde field near Andrews AFB .. 312 virtually identical to 292 without checking numbers on crankshaft. Complete except carb. Parts or restore – pto, Dana 44s, tow bar. One off hand built cap. Still has some military type script on inside of cap, looks like they used recycled ductwork or equiptment steel. Ford mustang type seats. .. no parts this on really needs to be researched. Haven’t been able to locate a VIN. Confusion as to all that have studied it. No parts sell as whole unit. Bill of Sale. Great conversation piece, yard art or rare historical piece. Pretty solid except for some floor pan and rocker repair.“
