“Clean frame and body with new paint. This is a great clean slate for someone looking to finish where I started. I have a brand new wheel bearing set, new brakelines installed and a whole new exhaust system for it. Also included is a Walcks Wiring Harness and some other goodies. Everything is there, transmission is in perfect shape, transfer case too. Engine needs a complete rebuild. Brand new Corbeau seats, still have all additional parts needed to put the jeep back together minus some hardware and engine components. Like new STA NDT tires on original rims. OBO, title in hand must pick up”
Though it shows the chassis with a body, the sale does not include the body.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
(11/04/2018) Seller isn’t look for big money, just wants to save it for parts. Maybe a few hundred dollars in parts here? Seller wants buyer to make an in-person offer.

Not in running condition now (dah)

No reply to online offers.”
UPDATE: Someone pointed me in the direction of this Walter Baumhofer CJ-3B calendar image (I can’t remember who, but please take credit in the comments).
There’ s no name associated with this one. At 16″ x 12″, it’s a little smaller than Emmett Watson’s “Jeepers” print. You can see more of Walter’s work over at the CJ-3B page.
Original Post (11/19/2018): Robin recently purchased this Walter M. Baumhofer illustration at an auction. It’s titled “Self Appreciation”. According to intelligentcollector.com, Walter was one of the most prolific Adventure Pulp artists out there. Among other prolific pulp adventure artists mention in the article is Emmett Watson.
Funny how both Emmett’s illustration Jeepers and Walter’s image has two men, a jeep, a tent, a red blanket, and three bears. I find that a big coincidence.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a nice one. With shipping, this is under $10. It’s 11″x 8.5″.

I’m in Seattle for a few days helping my parents. Updates resume Monday.
“They Shall Not Grow Old” is the name of this unusual WWI documentary directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, etc) that’s being released to some theaters. It’s all made using restored/repair actual footage of WWI. They also employed professional lip readers in the hope of capturing the dialogue seen in the video clips. It’s all wound together with interviews of WWI soldiers in the 1960s/1970s.
Here’s a trailer for the movie:
And here’s a part that shows what the British troops though of German Soldiers:
