Here’s a very rare Hamilton pedal jeep.

1949 CJ-3A Colorado Springs, CO **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7500.
(11/08/2014) Looks like a fun rig.
“The previous owner told me this rig was custom built in the late 1960’s as a no-kidding Sand Dune racer.
It’s incredibly fast! It will hold 65 MPH up Vail Pass on I-70 while barely touching the gas. The v8 motor is very strong, but when you combine it with such a small / light vehicle, it’s just crazy. The motor fires right up and is very strong, doesn’t burn any oil.
I believe it is a reproduction CJ3A steel body and not original Willys. I do have a clear Colorado title in my name. The bottom of the “tophat” channels underneath the tub are rusted, but the actual tub pan itself is very clean, and the frame is clean and solid.
The paint job is probably 20 years old, so is faded but still looks okay. I can’t stop for gas or pull up to a stoplight without someone drooling over it or asking questions.
