UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks complete enough from the front that it might be a decent candidate for a restoration.

(06/30/2012) Here’s a nicely restored former Forest Service CJ-6.
“1974 Jeep Cj6 with 304V8
This Jeep is a barn find that I picked up when I lived in GA a few years ago. This CJ6 is a former US Forest Service vehicle so it is a rare survivor. The jeep sat in a barn for over 20 years and I repaired alot of things to get her on the road. All of the parts that I used were stock or NOS when I could get them. The only items that are not stock is the 2.5 inch lift springs and the 33×9.5 BFG All Terrains.
I have spare engine, axles, and many other parts that will go with the Jeep. This is prime canadate for someone to own a piece of history that will only go up in value.
email me with questions or for more photos”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(06/25/2012) This looks like a solid truck.

From http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/07/bizarre-stuff.html comes this rare fleetvan photo from 1974. It shows Ron Elizada in front of a 1962 FJ-3 Fleet Van.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This chewing gum card picturing a crazy hopped up Jeepster was part of the 1980 Topps Chewing Gum Weird Willys Sicker #24: CREEP IN A JEEP.
I’m taking a day off, so just a few updates this morning.
I found this quiz from a sales training meeting from 1951. The quiz is available on eBay if you want to purchase it. I had planned to create an interactive quiz, but for some reason my theme isn’t cooperating with any of the quiz templates. Of course, I was disappointed, because I planned to have music, flashing lights, amazing colors, audio tracks, balloons, spaceships, prizes, and so much more . . . Instead, just use pencil and paper and imagine everything else . . . And thanks to Colin for organizing the answers for me!!
