Check out this interesting Willys Jeep fire truck from France. The body tub is made from wood, like the woody wagons from years ago. It is an interesting machine and I would love the see the interior. Does anyone have more photos or information? Via…

For Sale: 1968 Kaiser Jeep M715 Truck

I know a lot of our readers love the older military trucks. This 1968 Kaiser Jeep M715 truck appears to be in pretty good shape for the $5500 asking price. It was overhauled by the US Goverment in 1973, but there is very little information about its use after that. The truck is for sale in Utah by Boyce Equipment. Thanks to Bring A Trailer for finding it!

1982 AMC Eagle SX4 Rally Car Project For Sale!

AMC Eagles are a bit of a rarity these days. I know there is a cult following among them, with people putting V8’s in them and lifting them. I can imagine those guys are going crazy over this former Gene Henderson 1982 AMC Eagle SX4 rally car. An Amc Eagle rally car is just plain cool because it is ugly, rare to see and…well…just because it is! A mild AMC 390 has been shoe horned in. Check out the love/hate relationship that Bring A Trailer readers have with the car, as well as the original Craigs List ad and the sellers photo album. While I know it was originally built to be a rally car, I keep on wondering how it would do at the NORRA 1000 vintage off road race in Mexico in May?

Have you ever seen the Toyota TAC3 prototype?

We recently featured the 1969 Jeep XJ001 and Bolide prototypes. Now we are moving up to 1983, when Toyota introduced the TAC3 prototype at the Tokyo Motor Show. It is an interesting concept that was geared towards the younger, hip crowd. It was a 3 seat open top vehicle where the drivers seat in the front was mounted in the centre of the vehicle, while the rear two seats were side by side. The windshield came with both a tall version and a shorter “sport” version. Also included was the trailer that included 4 spare tires mounted on the trailer tongue. The tires look larger and more agressive and I doubt they would even fit in the small wheel wells of the TAC3. Does anyone have more information about the Toyota TAC3 prototype?

Willys CJ3B Jeep Firetruck Video

We robbed this great video of a Willys CJ3B Jeep firetruck with Howe fire equipment from Ewillys.com While I have seen lots of photos of Willys Jeep fire trucks, I have never seen a video of one. Or one in person, for that fact. Does anyone have other photos or videos of Willys CJ3B fire trucks that they would like to share?
