Is this faded Indian Ceramic? It looks almost like a Mary Key Jeep, and even though I’m not a big pink vehicle guy, I like the look. I’d instantly move to New Mexico if I owned this rig; it would fit in perfectly there. This 1966 Jeep J-3000 Gladiator 4×4 with an Alaskan pop-up camper can be found here on Facebook Marketplace in Fresno, California, and the seller is asking $16,500. Here is the original listing, and thanks to T.J. for the tip!

In looking at a better color chart, this is indeed Indian Ceramic, and it appears to be a bit faded from the sun. This Jeep looks higher in front, or is it just me? The Alaskan pop-up camper on the back probably plays a role in that; they are heavy campers. I bet this one weighs close to a ton, and that’s probably over the limit on this truck’s hauling capacity. Unfortunately, there isn’t one photo showing the inside of that thing! That’s the part that I wanted to really see on this rig. I grew up in the classic era of camping in the ’60s and ’70s, when there were a ton of different manufacturers, and we subscribed to Camper Life and Motorhome magazines.

This Kaiser-Jeep isn’t currently in running condition, so that’s why it wasn’t pulled out for better photos. Still, the back of the camper could have been opened for one photo. The Kaiser-Jeep era was from 1963 through 1970, and this example has the cool, small classic Jeep grille in the center, which the seller also doesn’t show a photo of, sadly. They do show a lot of detailed photos, so please check out the Facebook listing to see all of the photos. Hagerty is at $14,900 for a #3 good-condition truck, but this one isn’t in running condition. On the other hand, it has that cool Alaskan camper that’s worth several thousand.

The J-3000 designation doesn’t make it a one-ton as it may with some other manufacturers. The J-3000 has a 126-inch wheelbase compared to the J-2000, with a 120-inch wheelbase. One of the many detailed photos is one showing the brake and clutch pedals. They list the mileage as 13,875, so maybe those are the original pads? Low-mileage vehicles are always questioned, as they should be.

Another missing photo is the engine compartment. Seriously. This one is said to have a 327-cu.in. V8, which was known as the “Vigilante,” with 250 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to haul the Alaskan camper. It has a three-speed manual and column shifter sending power to all four wheels, or it did when it ran. It has some fuel system issues and needs to be trailered home. I just noticed it says “sale pending” at the bottom of the listing, so this great-looking Jeep may be gone. It really looks like it’s in fantastic cosmetic condition.
