1967 CJ-6 Perkins Diesel Windsor, PA $11,500

Matt shared this rare Perkins diesel. It has the correct serial number plate for a diesel, too. It does have rust.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/149327051514207

“1967 Jeep CJ-6 with Perkins diesel engine. All original and minimal rust compared to most CJ’s of this vintage. Very rare Perkins diesel engine runs but will need rebuild. It will run but smokes excessively and is low on power. Injection pump and injectors have been rebuilt. Production numbers suggest that less than 600 CJ-6’s were built with the Perkins engine. The body and floors have rust in all of the typical locations but is not a total rust bucket. Please be familiar with the rarity of this Jeep before you criticize the asking price. Clear Pennsylvania title included. All low ball offers will be ignored.”

Will Parish & Perk Perkins: Around the World in a Jeep Book

March 29, 2020 • CATEGORIES: Books, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
9

Will Parish & Perk Perkins authored a book about their trip around the world in a CJ-5. Anyone familiar with it? The cheapest price I could find was priced at $49.

Abstract: Around the World in a Jeep recounts the 1975 grand plan of Orvis CEO Perk Perkins and his then college roommate, Will Parish, to drive around the world in Will’s beloved red Jeep. Over the next 20 months, Perk, Will, and their trusty Jeep crossed five oceans and seas, exploring 35 countries and covering enough road-miles to circumnavigate the earth twice. In addition to cementing their relationship as lifelong best friends, the trip also generated some 2,000 pages of journal entries, which make up the text of this remarkable volume. Illustrated by stunning full-color photographs taken by Perk, Will, and the people they encountered, this beautifully printed and bound adventure book belongs in the collection of everyone who has a yearning to explore, travel, and discover the richness our world has to offer. 12″ x 9″ hardcover

There are at least two book covers:

Mitch Needs Another Perkins Engine

July 14, 2016 • CATEGORIES: Features, wanted • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you’ve been following Mitch Carter on Facebook, you know he’s been doing some great jeeping in his stock diesel-powered CJ-6 (Moab & Black Bear Pass among other places) … at least until he ran into an engine problem.

Now he’s hoping to find a second perkins 4.192 diesel engine. He thinks massey ferguson tractors, forklifts, generators, etc. Even a 4.203 indirect injected one would get him by until i can rebuild the original engine. If you have one, email me at d@ewillys.com or comment below and I’ll get you in touch with him.

I’ve known Mitch since he was a young kid. He does a lot for the PNW jeeping community and is always willing to lend others a hand.

About his engine problem he wrote, “I got crossed up on a rock on the alpine loop, and the fan bit the radiator. We patched it as good as we could which got us off the trail and over one pass to silverton. And this is where i made the mistake of leaving the cap off the radiator so it wouldn’t build pressure…. the gauge only read 200* but it was fooled by hot air and not water. The engine was much hotter and I fear it’s toast. Very little compression, hard to start but will still turn over and run badly while making equally bad noises.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6500.

Needs some work, but the body looks solid.

“I have a 1948 Willy’s Overland Truck, it has 39000 miles, four cylinder three speed on the column, 6 volt system, two wheel drive that was only offered in the first three years of production. Truck had been sitting in a garage since mid 70’s before I purchased it a couple of months ago. The truck is all original, comes with all the factory extras, jack, tire chains, and helper springs. Needs fuel system cleaned and all the rubber lines replaced, motor turns over with starter after I put new battery in it. I found three rust spots about the 1/4″ each in floor when I pulled original rubber floor mat up. Original paint, and I have good Oklahoma title in hand, also have original owners manual that came with truck. ”

I just picked up this Viasa brochure from Egypt via eBay (along with some other 1 sheet brochures). Note that these rigs are all powered by the Perkins Diesel. I’ve dated this using the legal notice at the bottom of page three that ends in “1969”.

This front page is about 8.5″ x 11″ landscape oriented:

Here are some military photos that appear in various library databases.

1. This first one shows a jeep that was dug out from an avalanche in the Grand Tetons:

Saturday @ The Willys Jeep Rally

(Ooops … I meant this to appear on Sunday morning)
Tom Payne and Roger Martin both share some pics from Saturday’s Willys Jeep Rally at Heuston Woods in Ohio.

The first two are from Tom. This one is John Ittel’s CJ-3B:
 willys-rally-hueston-woods-day2-1

And this CJ-6 has a Willys industrial powered air compressor in the back:

willys-rally-hueston-woods-day2-2

Roger sent these pictures. According to Rick Riley (the owner), this cool vehicle is a “1979” C-o-m-a-n-d-o (one M) manufactured in Spain. He purchased it from an ex-military gentleman who was stationed in Sicily. When his tour of duty was up in 2006, he had the Comando shipped to the Norfolk VA. The vehicle was stored and not in service from then until Rick purchased it in 2019. The engine is a four-cylinder Perkins, four-speed transmission, full floating rear differential, Model 30 closed knuckle front and 488 gears. It is similar to the U.S. version of this body style Commando which ended in 1971, but there are many large and small differences between the two versions.
