UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000 More pics of the racing jeep here
Ted’s got this racing jeep and a plow jeep for sale. You can see closeups of Ted’s jeeps at this link. In the pics you’ll see Teds girls, who have been driving the jeeps for two years now. That’s pretty cool!”
This racing jeep is for sale. It has been in storage for quite some time ,but fired right up and will be a killer start for someone looking to get into the racing game. Back in the day it was built by a guy in Ellington CT named Mel Sherette of Mels Auto Body. At the time he was mopping up all kinds of big bad V8s with this Jeep and Im sure with a little work it still will. Built Buick 231V6 W/Turbo 400 ,Dana 44s ,Desert Dogs and a set of Paddles. Lots and lots of custom work done to this jeep . Willys pick up or wagon front tilt clip molded to a home made cj type rear body . Full cage and harnesses . Kinda old school vintage racer dual points and all but could be a real killer with a few modern updates . Would be right at home on short tracks ,courses ,sand drags ,hillclimbs , or would be a great candidate for some ice racing . I will be happy to supply detailed pics to anyone interested . $4500 OBO

Might be interested in racer. D’ont know how old you are . I was one of the original members of The Pionner Valley Ridgerunners from Chicopee Ma. We trail road and raced along with theWandering Four Wheelers of West During the late 70s early 80’s.Kurt LeDuc was a member and used to trail ride with us when he had his shop in West Spfld. Would like to see your collection when the weather breaks. Thanks Jim S.
Hey Jim , sounds great . I would love to see it go to a good home . Got it tucked away for the winter with the exception of an occasional blast in the snow. Was gonna relist on Craigs List and put it on ebay in spring ,but would love to see it stay local. It was originally built in the early 80s by Mels auto body in Ellington CT and was racing right along with Kurt , Sheas ,Bundies ,Smiths , Kenny Howe and everyone else on the circuit at that time. Was a top contender at central village,Southwick,Monson Hill climb .Too many projects ,and not enough time !!! Email me your number or give me shout and we can talk My contact info is in original post
