Ed shared this vintage photo of Paul Parker racing up a Calgary, Canada, hill climb in 1970. Paul was the creator of the Parkette fiberglass body and this was his personal jeep. On the driver’s side over the terra tire you can just see the Parkette side stripe.

Shot of Jim Carter from Vintage Four Wheeler Magazine

I bought a May 1975 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine, because it was cheap. I didn’t find anything interesting in it until stumbled across a picture of Jim Carter racing through mud on the last page. Jim and his wife Patti were long time friends of my parents and encouraged them to join the fledgling Wandering Willys Jeep Club. Those that have read my book might recognize the name.

For an unknown reason, JIm isn’t racing their jeep Otis, but someone else’s (or this photo is earlier than 1975). I do recognize that helmet though.

Great vintage photo!

“FEB 1 1975, FEB 3 1975 ***** a Grip on Winter long, as on the Jeep at lower right, seem to work best on hard ice, according to Dean Buhler, a member of racing team at Neal’s Custom Paint & Body Shop in Loveland. A few drivers use chains, as at left, but chains ordinarily are no match for studs, Buhler said. Between 100 and 150 vehicles enter on Sunday, and go up to 50 miles an hour. Credit: Denver Post . Photo is 10” x 8” in size.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.

This has never been used.

“I have a Fiberglass jeep body from Malotte that has never been used. Fiberglass is in great condition and is the race model so its very light. Jeep body is already pre-cut to be lengthened in the right areas, but you can just use the stock lengths as well if you don’t want to do that. Body has never been painted.

First $350 obo gets this unused race jeep body
This body costs over double that new”
