Might be a good price.

“1962 Bantam Trailer. Great vintage piece of equipment. T3C data plate intact (see pics). Also has the black California license plate. These trailers have a community of enthusiasts. Overall solid, but a little rough. It rolls. Sorry, don’t know if the lights work. Tires not original, but looks like we have one of the OG Firestones as a pretty bald spare. I can snap a pic or 2 of key areas if you have questions, but we would prefer that you came out to look at it. Please text or email.

Driving out of Gunnison this morning we spotted two jeeps right away, a CJ-3A in poor condition and a CJ-3B in drivable condition.

2015-05-31-monarchpass2

Saturday May 30th we spent in Colorado Springs. On Sunday, May 31st, we began our trek westward. My goal for the day was to get a better sense of the family mines so that I can write the imagery correctly for my upcoming book.

2015-05-31-cosprings-gunnison-map

Today we drove from Colorado Springs to Gunnison.

Our first quest of the day was for fudge. Not just any fudge mind you, but salted carmel fudge. My wife has been pining for some well-made salted carmel fudge ever since we bought some from the Alamo in San Antonio. I thought it was time to find some for her, so the first stop of the day was at Goldminers Nuts and Candy in Manitou Springs. Their fudge turned out to be pretty good, but the salted carmel wasn’t quite as good as the Alamo’s. Still, we’ve been enjoying it :-).

After the fudge stop, we began our climb into the mountains. Colorado Springs is around 6500 feet, while the small mining town of Victor is around 10,000ft. So, up, up, up we drove. The one problem we encountered on the climb was that the closer we got to Victor the more threatening the rain clouds became.

As we approached Victor from the north, we came upon the entrance to the American Eagles Overlook and Historic Mine. The entrance isn’t obvious, but if you look for the entrance in the photo below you’ll be at the right place.

2015-05-31-victor-mines1

This rock marks the entrance to the American Eagle Mine overlook.

Follow this road to the very end. There, you will find a guard and a small shack. Give them your name and you can drive up to the overlook.

Vintage Tyco Jeep CJ Snake Track Brentwood, CA $200

• CATEGORIES: toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks in great shape.

“DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is a vintage Tyco Slot Car Track Set — Jeep CJ Snake-Track. The Tyco article number is 86617. The contents are in their original box. This set is from Italy. An incredible, rare find in this condition. The approximate measurements of the box are: 26.25 inches (L) x 17.5 inches (W) x 2.5 inches (H).

CONDITION: The vintage set is “new” and almost completely sealed. The original cellophane seal of this box is torn on one side of the box. Therefore, the set is now “open,” and I cannot call it “new” under eBay’s guidelines. However, the contents have never been played or tempered with, or removed from their slots. The back of the box has a small piece of tape to prevent the cellophane wrapping from ripping further. The box shows minimal ware, with no tears or creases. Overall, an incredible find in this condition.”

1966 CJ-6 Littleton, CO $7000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-6 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Still Available.

(05/17/2015) The jeep looks solid.

“Very rare cj-6 tuxedo park model with a 1/2 cab hardtop and doors. I know the asking price might be high (I am from Denver :), but I’m uncertain of the value of such a rare special edition model so before letting it go for less than I should, I figured I’d start at a price I love, and see where that goes. Also, it needs a little to be drivable but figured it may be of no use to make it drivable if someone is buying it to tear down and restore, so I’m listing it now, just in case you can’t live without this particular one!

I just bought this and not sure what to do with it? Get it running and enjoy it, or sell it and make a bit of money, so you might get to decide for me?

Its currently not in road worthy condition but it did get driven onto the trailer, so it would not take much money to make it road worthy. A battery, a carb, and the brakes gone through, and I’m sure a few other bits, but its not far from being drivable.

The paint job is great from 50′ with old eyes, and downright “quick and dirty” from 5′ with just about any eyes, but its still presentable and a pretty neat truck.

Rust is not absent by any means, but its not a rust bucket either. See photos in link below.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I might be open to trade for a porsche 914…modified is ok (prefer 3.6 914-6 if I’m begging, or LS motor 🙂 but a project is not really what I can deal with right now so trades best if they are project free.”

The New Dispatcher Magazine

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

For years West Coast Willys published a quarterly newsletter called the Dispatcher. Recently the organization turned over publishing responsibility to Norris-Banonis, the same organization that publishes those great Holy Toledo Calendars. They have upgraded the Newsletter into a Magazine, complete with high quality photos, accurate technical articles, and well-researched history.

There first issue was published in March of this year. I got a chance to read through it and I was really impressed. There simply isn’t another vintage jeep magazine out there that rivals what Norris-Banonis have created. The articles I read were interesting and informative. For example, not too many people know that automatic transmissions were tested in M-38s, let alone know the details about those transmissions.
