No year listed on this press photo that shows a slat grille MB being loaded into a Globemaster. The photo appears to have been ordered on July 2nd, 1947, but that’s likely not the date of the photo. My attempt to find the photo in a newspaper failed, but I did find a few other photos of jeeps and the Douglas C-74 Globemaster.

“This is an original press photo. Military – Jeep – Globemaster aircraftPhoto measures 10.25 x 8inches. Photo is dated –NONE.”

In the summer of 1946, a Globemaster was loaded with 15 jeeps. A few photos of the event made the newspapers. This first one appears to have an illustrated jeep on the elevator:

This article in the September 06, 1945, issue of the Daily News out of Los Angeles introduces the world to the new Globemaster. The bottom image shows two jeeps loaded next to one another.

Jane Bundy’s 1947 CJ-2A

This nice looking CJ-2A wasn’t restored to 100% original, but it sure looks nice and will provide owner Jane Bundy with a great vehicle for years to come. The Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn in Wilkesboro, NC, did the work.

Classy Jeep at Kaneohe, Hawaii

This undated article and photo from an unknown newspaper was posted to Facebook where Roger Martin spotted it. The “classy jeep” is driven by Lieut. Commander W. P. Tyler, USN, of Medium Seaplane Squadron Three. There were eighteen privately owned jeeps undergoing modifications. My guess is that the photo was taken  post WWII given the jeeps were privately owned.

“This is a 1971 Jeep (Postal Jeep) running on top of a 1993 Suburban 4×4 Big Block drivetrain… This is an unfinished project that I’m not going to have time to finish… The mechanicals are done and it runs and drives… Strong 454ci engine with TBI fuel injection and custom stand alone computer and engine wiring… Heavy duty 4L80E Trans… Dual exhausts… Power steering… Hydroboost brake system…

The Suburban drivetrain was from the limited edition version with the 1-Ton suspension and was low mileage… The whole thing is covered in Aluminum attached with hundreds of rivets… I have full pictures of it being built including pics the the removal/installation of the Suburban and Jeep bodies… Title is clean and registered on a non-op as a 1971 Jeep (so no smog)… This thing has had lots of hand fabrication work done to it that for the price I’m asking I will never get back!… If you’re looking for a completely unique project that is cheap and had most of the hard stuff done then my loss is your gain… There is a lot more done to it than you see in the pictures!

UPDATE: Price dropped to $7500.

Lots of updates. Seller would really like to locate a Scamp Trailer as part of a deal.

“Check out this Kool Jeep Willy’s. I really want to find someone that has a scamp trailer that would be interested in working through a deal that would include this jeep. There have been a lot of things done to this Jeep and you really need to come out and take a look.

All the good –
Wired in the LED brake lights as well as replaced the brake switch – functions as it should
Added the brand new gauges on the dash.
Changed the gearing in the rear to match the gearing in the front.
Brand new front Disc Brake conversion
Power Brake Booster added
Brand new engine with less than 1000 miles on it.
Turbo 400 tranny
Added the Ford Mustang seats
Brand new tires and wheels.
New Aluminum Radiator
Replaced the drive line for the drive shaft to the front end.

This thing sounds mean and is ready for some fun. Again, not really sure what cash offer we would be willing to consider, really just interested in trade with someone who has a Scamp trailer.”
