UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is up for sale again on eBay. Regarding the “1953 Willys MB Jeep F-head” statement, the seller included that to attract hits rather than for accuracy (we had this discussion back in 2014).

For all you zombie haters, here’s a zombie hunting jeep.

1953 Patent for Gun Aiming Mechanism

C.W. Musser filed a patent for a “Gun Aiming Mechanism with associate trigger release mechanism and supporting mount” on February 24, 1953. This illustration with the gun on a jeep accompanied the patent.

“Fig. 1 is a side view of my gun aiming mechanism and associated trigger release mechanism with supporting mount shown in heavy solid line. For purposes of illustration the aiming and trigger release mechanisms are applied to a typical, large caliber recoilless rifle and its attached spotting rifle (both shown in light solid line), and the supporting mount is secured to a representative motor vehicle which takes the form of the jeep (also shown in light solid line). For simplicity of drawing the customary sighting system for the guns has not been shown.”

Seller’s friend describes this as a 1956 “Willys D1”. It appears to be a CJ-3A with an incorrect year.

“Selling for a friend. It is not a Cherokee it is a Willys D1. Facebook will not accept the Willys Make in the field. It has been looked at by 2 mechanics and “runs really good for its age.” It has been sitting a long time and just smokes a little but just needs to run for a while. Major cosmetic defects. It is a fixer-upper. Mileage unknown”

Odd Vehicle

Apparently, this is located in Bavaria … Photos of this vehicle were posted to the G503 Facebook page. Some folks saw this as a bubbafied vehicle, and there may be elements of that. However, the bends of the frame and other nuances have me wondering if it was some type of airborne prototype. It’s actually a pretty clean frame for a bubba project. In a couple pics you can see how clean the spring hangers have been mounted.

Thoughts?

g503-odd-jeep-post1

Check out the grille. You can see that it has equidistant slats up until the right side. I don’t see Bubba doing something like that so cleanly. g503-odd-jeep-post2 g503-odd-jeep-post3 g503-odd-jeep-post4
