Early last week my Dad called to tell me that he had just bought a 1953 Willys Army Jeep for $200. He said that he was going to try to find a new home for it.
That home is soon to be Rock Hill, SC. I am having it trailored here in a couple weeks.
My Dad has a body shop and over fall break I am going to work for him. Instead of pay, I get the Jeep. Usually I only have to paint a bumper or two here and there, but this time I think I will be doing some hardcore paint work, which is fine as long as I can call the Jeep mine.
She doesn't run but a little transmission fluid and hopefully she will come out of her slumber. She has been sitting still for a number of years and just needs to be broken loose again.
I am so excited. With a four cylinder she will still be ok to ride around town in and not worry about gas. Up top is a picture of what she will look like, I will get better ones when I see her.

Wow! $200 for an Army jeep!
Drive it to Johnson Hall and strut your stuff when you get it in running condition.
