Club Runs: Over the Mts and Thru the Woods for Fish & Chips

• CATEGORIES: Club Runs This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I’m introducing a new section I call club runs.  We’ll see if it grows or not ….

The members of the Wandering Willys Jeep Club live in the greater Seattle area, which means if they want Fish and Chips, going to Seattle’s Alki Beach on Puget Sound and feasting on Spuds’ Halibut Fish and Chips (fresh fries) would make a great deal of sense.  Spuds has great fish and chips.  But, no one has accused the WWJC members of having much sense.

Instead they elected to jump in their jeeps and head towards the woods, mountains and snow of the Naches Pass to find Fish and Chips.  It was probably their crazy President’s idea, yes Mitch?  I’m not sure where they ate their fish and chips once they reached the other side, but as the pictures show, it must have been a beautiful, winterland run.

On the website, the club notes, “Nine Jeeps took to the Naches Trail for some Fish & Chips on the east side of the Naches Pass.  The snow was fun, but massaged into ice by the Jeeps.  Some of us went home on asphalt after a late lunch, others took the trails well into the night for some fun night Jeeping.”

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting hungry …..

You can see more pics at the WWJC website.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

This looks like an interesting project.

“Bought for a family project that unfortunetly has never gotten underway…. This is the real deal, ITS ALL THERE!!! Never been taken apart, never, “restored,” and in great shape. Its been warehoused for the last ten years, and has not been on the road since the 80’s. In great shape for its age, Black plates, clear title, 100% unmolested – Dash is untouched, roof is solid.

This looks like an early 50s M-38 eBay

• CATEGORIES: M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller lists this as a 1945 jeep, but it looks more like a M-38 based on the windshield and the grille (both headlight bezels and holes below the bezels.  This is located in Oxford Station, Ontario, Canada.

“Willys Jeep I think is it a 1945 it runs good 4×4 work great! comes with a plow and a parts jeep.  If you have any questions feel free to email me”
