UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.

(09/06/2012) Well, it isn’t ‘all original’.  It appears solid.

“all original 46 willys jeep. in really good shape for the age. I drive it everyday. everything works except fuel gauge. the only real issue is the windshield is cracked, its the original glass in it and its flat so isn’t costly to replace I just haven’t gotten it done yet. I have a brand new solex carb to go with it, spare tire carrier, extra set of wheels, and soft top. the soft top isn’t in great condition but it will keep you dry. I would be interested in trades for a 450 four stroke dirt bike or? text me art fourzero64five04four8five”

Coast Guard Lengthened Jeep AKA The Invader Jeep

Coast Guard Super-Jeep at the National Guard Militia Museum in New Jersey.

Posted at bangshift (though I couldn’t find this original link), referenced by Jalopnik, linked to by Kaiser Willys, and forwarded by Colin, here is a great video  of a coast guard “super jeep” in action.

NEWS ARTICLES:

1) From the May 06, 1944, Perth Mirror in Australia:

TRAVELS 60 MPH OVER SANDY BEACHES
At a Coastguard Station on the Atlantic Coast, U.S. Coast Guards men recently demonstrated a new super-jeep, carrying 10 men and traveling up to 60 miles an hour over sand. Officials said the super-jeep was developed to meet special problems of Coast Guard shore patrols. Chassis of a regulation jeep was halved and steel shafts inserted to add one yard to its wheelbace. Seats for 10 were installed and specially designed wheels employed to permit travel over any kind of beach.

2) Volume 70 of the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings discusses the results of the Coast Guard Jeep. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the whole document. I do have this:

As a basis for comparison, the regular Army jeep tried to follow the super-jeep over the same course, but foundered in the deep sand. The super-jeep was developed in the Coast Guard transportation office to meet the special demand that branch of services has for a vehicle capable of moving through sand . . .

Mechanical Grenade Launcher on a MB

I spotted these pictures at Dieselpunks, though the pictures appear to originate from a Russian site. The grenade launchers were designed by the NKEP (Narodnyy Komissariat Elektricheskoy Promyshlennosti – state commissariat for electrical engineering) to be flameless and quiet.

Go to the dieselpunks website to learn more.
