The Hatari Movie: 43 Jeeps
Vernon asked me about doing a Hatari related post. Now, put your coffee down before I say this … ready … I have never seen Hatari. Now that we are past that issue …
I spent some time looking for a way to watch the movie. It turns out there’s a website devoted to helping people find movies on different platforms: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/hatari . In the end, it appears the cheapest way for me to watch it is to rent it through Amazon or head to a local library in search of a copy. In the mean time, the trailer is available via Youtube:
To see some jeep photos, I highly recommend the CJ-3B page’s coverage of the movie. As Derek notes in his article, Jeep claimed there were 43 different jeeps used for the movie, including CJ-6s, FCs, CJ-3BS, Wagons, and Trucks and perhaps a few others?

The Internet Movie Car Database (https://www.imcdb.org/movie_56059-Hatari!.html) also has some still shots from the movie, including this FC Dually flatbed:
Of course, there are still plenty of Hatari items on eBay:
Hatari Posters and Memorability on eBay, like this Belgian poster:
So, while you all read this post, I’m going to locate a copy of the movie!

“51 willys 351 windser, Holley pro-jection. runs good.”
1948 CJ-2A Shady Cove, OR **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(08/01/2018) Has a little bit of rust. Has Cutlas Powerlock hubs.

“This Jeep has been in the family since 1950, but it is time to let it go. It is not all original, the windshield is off a CJ3A, the rims are 15s not 16s, the tires are not military tread, converted to 12 volt, and the tire mount is on the tailgate not on the side. The motor though is the original 70 horse go devil motor and as far as I know has been rebuilt once. I think it may need to be done again as it smokes some on occasion.
It has a couple of rust spots and a few dents, but so would you if you were 70 years old! This old jeep just needs some TLC and it will be good to go. I just drive it around town in the summer, probably put less than a hundred miles a year on it but don’t know for sure since the speedometer hasn’t worked for almost 40 years. New head gasket last year and new hoses, belts, etc. Have custom made canvas top and spare tire, but the tire is probably older than me. All negotiations must be in person, thanks.”

1948 CJ-2A Windsor, NY **SOLD**

(08/18/2018) Parts or project.
“I have a non-running 1948 Willys Jeep that is mainly for parts (or for an adventurous restorer). It has an excellent grill, hood, radiator, gas tank, tail gate, front and rear differentials, drive shafts, wheels and seat frames. I would categorize the frame as good to very good. The front fenders can be repaired. The tub is junk. The windshield is pretty much junk. The motor looks ok but will not turn over at this time. I have oil in the spark plug holes. The oil in the motor looks ok. The transmission and transfer case shifters move in and out of gear. I have taped things up to keep the mice out. I also have a home made top and doors for the Jeep that can be purchased for an extra $100. I would like $1200 for the old girl.”
