I found some pictures taken during a Jeep club ice cream run made earlier during the year. I thought that I would post one picture so that you see a couple of the more interesting club Jeeps.
Here are the Bubbacon and two friends at the end of the ice cream run.
The Jeep behind and left of the Bubbacon is a 1946 Willys. The owner (a body shop technician employed by a trucking firm) has restored the Willys to better than new condition. This Jeep is truly a work of art. The owner also installed a Buick V-6 to power the Willys. The owner and his wife drive the little Willys all over the country without a second thought.
The Yellow CJ-7 behind the Bubbacon was restored from a burnt-out hulk. A Jeep dealership mechanic owns that CJ. The restoration included an aftermarket fiberglass body. The engine is an AMC V-8, but I cannot recall the displacement. The engine was rebuilt by a pro speed shop. The owner of that CJ told me that the engine alone cost nearly $7,000.00.
I kid you not: when that Jeep starts, the earth shakes.
Two extremes of Jeeping.
