Not authentic SAS restorations, but still they look like fun.

Wagner-Trac on a CJ-2A
Glenn spotted these Wagner-Tracs on a CJ-2A. While it has a CJ-2A body, this is probably a CJ-5 or CJ-3B frame, because the tracks require a wheel base of exactly 81 inches. The tracks are one of six produced and bolt onto the axles.
According to the information at the video’s homepage:
“The Tracks were manufactured by a company called “A. F. Wagner Industries Inc.” of concord California. They were made sometime during the mid 60s and there was only 6 sets made and were apparently expensive and thus may be the reason there were so few made. They are called “Wagner-Trac” and were made specifically as a set of tank tracks for a jeep with a wheelbase of 81 inches. The wheelbase is not adjustable so the wheelbase is critical and just like a tank you would have to install turning brakes to drive the Jeep because the steering is null and void as soon as you bolt them on. They are all steel construction so were probably designed for offroad only.”

Roberto forwarded this. I’m not sure how old the show is, but this build has been around a few years. You can see many more pics of it here.

Bad Day at Black Rock
Ann’s mom Rosemary has learned to watch for jeeps. She alerted me a couple days ago to a movie she recorded with Spencer Tracy from 1955 called Bad Day at Black Rock. It’s a good movie. One of the reasons it is such a good movie is that a good looking Willys MB plays a staring role and receives some good screen time. It even gets to be involved in a chase scene! Here are some closeups:
