081: Craig Jacobson’s 1964 CJ-6 Jeep
My Dad bought this Jeep in 1968 for hunting. It is definitely part of the family! My sister and I both learned to drive with it and now my 12 and 10 yr. old are learning to drive it! That’s pretty cool! Check out the mileage. It is all original. Most of that is from being towed from one place to another. Nothing has been done to the engine. It will stay in the family forever! I’m going to put a Jump seat in and seat belts so the whole family can ride.

Does anyone know where to buy jump seats for a willys jeep? I see them a lot but don’t know where to get them. Thanks for the help.
Craig,
This is great news, to have learn how to drive, now your kids doing the same thing.
Your CJ-6, looks in great condition. I did too learn to drive a 1946 Willys
CJ2A back in the mid 50’s. Now we have a 1947 CJ-2A, our kid’s and nephew’s learn to drive too. It is part of the family. We use it as a farm tractor and outdoor’s activities. Tough vehicle’s!
Wow, this is great! I’d love to drive one of these on the back roads! But please be careful about the seat belts. If you have no shoulder belts, you will not be able to resist a head-on collision, and if you survive, you may snap your spine in two and be paralyzed. I never forgot watching some prime-time show in which they discovered that rear passengers with only lap belts were suffering that fate in head-ons. I had shoulder belts installed in my IH Scout II for this reason, as they didn’t come with them (I know, what am I talking IH for? Don’t worry, as I have my 2005 LJ that I LOVE) The seat belt thing is probably a non-issue as long as the Jeep is driven in the country only, which is what you seem to be indicating (as the gas mileage wouldn’t be great at 21st century highway speeds).
