We recently came across a little known off road racing video that was produced by Jeep in the 70’s. Action, Out Of Sight covers a variety of off road racing across the country. Everything from desert races to family play days featuring obstacle course races. Remember the powder puff races, terra tires and 3 inches of wheel travel? This video is for you! What do you think of it?
In 1959, Life magazine photographer JR Eyerman tagged along with a Colorado Jeep club. The following photos appeared in the December 1959 issue of Life magazine.
This is probably the best idea for a street driven Willys Jeep that I have seen yet! Ewillys reader Sebastian sent in photos that his father took of the Coffee Jeep in Rio Negro, Antioquia, Colombia. It all comes down to the little details, like the art on the doors and tailgate. If I had my choice between the Java Jeep or a Jeepney, I would definatly take the Java Jeep! How about you?
Here is another one for the From The Archives list. This Willys pickup is in great shape and and is a great example of a nicely restored Willys truck

Goose, from the This Old Jeep forum, has rebuilt the 1963 Willys CJ-3B Jeep that he used to drive when he was a teenager. The high hood Willys Jeep was in decent shape to begine with, but still needed some minor body work, along with a lot of running gear work. It looks like the diff oils had not been changed in 30 years! Follow Goose along on his rebuild thread on This Old Jeep. The end result is a great resto mod that was built to be driven. Awesome job!
