CJ-3B Drag Racer and Plow Jeep
December 15, 2016 • CATEGORIES: Features, Magazine, Old Images Jeeping This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
The September 1961 issue of Hot Rod Magazine included this reader-submitted photo. The owner explained that the jeep did well as a drag racer (in the stock 4cyl class I’m sure) when they weren’t using it as a plow jeep.
