Here’s some great old photographs from the 1970s.  They document some of the events attended by the Good Time Four Wheelers.  The image below was from the 3rd Annual Green River Valley Jeepers in 1976.  I attended one of their playdays in 1981 (I think).  It was located between Black Diamond and Enumclaw;  I wouldn’t be surprised if the area is full of homes now.

I’m suprised that as late as ’76 they weren’t requiring cages to race.  It wouldn’t be too long before they were required.  View all the pics (lots of desert dogs) at the pnw4wda forum.

1947_cj2a_racejeep_montanaUPDATE:  Price dropped to $2000

This includes a set of 4 terra tires.  Is this a race jeep for PNW racing or mud bogs?  The tires look great.

“1947 cj2a race jeep. the jeep body is a 47 cj2a that is on 83 jeep commando frame has a chevy 350 in just went through the motor has all new gasket,timing chain cam lifters oil pump new edlebrock carb new accel dist that was 350 bucks alone accel super coil fuel cell jump straps new purple horenys mufflers new radiator, electric fans. has a aluminum power glide with a stall converter in it mated up to the jeep transfer case with a shield around it has a set of 4 tera tires and a set of 2 tractor it also has a brake lock with a slap shifter, tach all newer gauges bucket seats tires for the back of it. this quiet fast runs sweet wanted to play in the montains but its alittle to much for that is more for racing willing to trade or sell looking for a wrangler jeep or something on that line”

I ran across this great looking Sand Drag Jeep called Impulsive Behavior.  From what I learned off the website, the owner’s name is Tim and he is a member of the Santa Barbara 4WD Jeep Club.

Impulsive Behavior “has a 468 cubic inch BBC generating just under 800Hp with almost 600 lb-ft of torque. This power plant will move the 2100 pound vehicle to 82 mph in 4.04 seconds on a 300 foot long race track.”

Fiberglass Flat Fender Bobcat Hood Puyallup, Wa **SOLD**

bobcat_hood_fiberglass_portlandI am pretty sure this sold

It looks in excellent shape.  I didn’t see any of these classic hoods at the swap meet (or they had already sold).  Having Don’s old card in the glass is a cool benefit.

“Vintage Aftermarket Jeep Hood for CJ2A CJ3A M38 MB & GPW. This “Bobcat hood” is a real find. The fiberglass has no cracks and the hinge works good. You can tell its vintage because there is a business card in the glass for (Don Prine’s) Prine’s Jeep Service and the phone # is JU 4-6648. So I would guess 60’s or before. The hump can give your air filter more room if you have a V-6 or V-8 under your hood. And it looks good..

Update: No Recent Update

I like the color mix as well as the overall construction.  Front shackles are reversed and it appears the rear springs are outboarded.
