This is a pretty neat Willys CJ-2A for sale. While the Jeep itself is interesting, I love the buzz saw attatchment! In the late 40’s and early 50’s, Willys marketed their Jeeps to the ranchers and other customers that could use the Willys for more than backroad adventures.
1946 Willys CJ2A in original almost rustfree condition, there is slight surface rust on the under body and one spot of rust on a hat channel at one of the mounting bolts.
Not only was the Willys Wagons used for commuting, but with simple modifications they were used as delivery vehicles, railway maintenance vehicles or ambulances, as pictured above.
Probably a better question is who does not remember the Fall Guy? A lifted GMC truck jumping over fences, ponds and who knows what else. I mean really, whas there any other shows in the 80’s that had better action than the Fall Guy, Dukes Of Hazzard and the A Team? For those that are too young to enjoy the memories, the show was centered around Colt Seavers (Lee Majors), who is a hollywood stunt man that takes on bounty hunter side jobs.
After been stored for 15 years, Southern Sunshine will be shining again! A lifetime dream was cut short when Mart Williams, age 26, died of an accidental drowning in Prien Lake on Thursday, June 5, 1986. Mart’s dream was most vividly expressed in “Southern Sunshine”, a four-wheel drive Chevy Monster Truck, which he built, operated and displayed to thousands of truck fans throughout the country. Ironically, on the day of Mart’s death, he received a letter from New York City recognizing “Southern Sunshine” as one of the top ten Monster Trucks in the world. But, the meaning of “Southern Sunshine” is more than just the truck that Mart built. It stands for Mart’s devotion to bringing happiness to others through recreation. Mart constantly reminded us of the need to balance our lives with a proper mix of work and recreation.

Now this is what Willys trucks were built for!
Last week we had an article about Willys Jeep 6×6 prototypes. We found a few more photos when searching
Recently, some photos of the 2010 FC Roundup were posted on the FC Connection page. It looks like there was some awesome forward control Jeep trucks and panels at this event!
Last week we posted an article asking where the Spare Time Ford Ranger monster truck went to. We found our answer in this thread on Monster Mayhem. The truck, along with a bunch of other vintage monster trucks are all sitting outside of the Madrid Restaurant in Velle de Quebec. It is sad to see them rusting away…they deserve to be restored and lovingly cared for as they are a piece of history. However, it sounds like the owner has no interest in restoring or selling them.
Bring A Trailer has been featuring some awesome 4×4’s for sale lately, like the 1969 Ford Bronco that we featured yesterday. Today, they brought us this mint 1988 Toyota SR5 Extra Cab pickup with only 8289 original miles! The original owners son is selling it for his father for health reasons. While you may have some sticker shock after hearing the $12,500 asking price, it seems very reasonable when you consider that most 1988 Toyota trucks have a rusted out frame and body or have been modifed and pounded on. This even has the original dash mat! There is more information on the Yotatech site and the owner has a ton more photos here.
