The Cutest Little Jeep You Ever Did See

Posted on by

Usually, when people think of Jeep, they think of the military and tough ruggedness. After seeing this Jeep listed for sale on eBay and featured over on Jalopnik, we are still in shock. Who knew that a Jeep could be so darn cute?

This 1953 Custom Willys 8X8 Overland has the typical green camouflage color and a white strip and star on the side. The interior could use a bit of work, and while it is a great restoration job by fabricator Dick Cook, pulling parts from 3 Willys Jeeps, there are plenty of great restored cars available for sale on eBay. What caught our interest was its 8 wheels, turning it from a tough Jeep into a vehicle as cute as a bug.

In their video from the eBay posting, the seller showed off all eight wheels and boasted, “There will never be another one of these…We’ve built a centipede.” You can view the full video below:

Right now, bidding for the car is at $8,705.00, though the bidding reserve has not yet been met. If you want to check out the bidding or see more pictures of this adorable Jeep, head over to the eBay posting here.

Jeep has been rolling out variant models on its most popular vehicles.

Jeep Adds More Power and Fun to Test Drive

Jeep is kicking off the Summer of 2012 right with their exhilarating Jeep Power Amp Experience in Houston, Texas.

The Power Amp Experience is an obstacle course built to show off the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Altitude edition. Attendees at the Free Press Summer Fest got to tackle the course to win prizes and see how the 2012 Jeep Wrangler would handle steep climbs, water, and rough terrain.

From the pictures on Jeep’s blog and Facebook page, it looks like a great time was had by all. Jeep created something more than the typical test drive. They created a unique experience for drivers to test out the new vehicle and get some bragging rights for conquering the course. To see the drivers who took on the Jeep Power Amp Experience, search the hashtag #JeepPowerAmp on Twitter, and check out pictures from the course here.
