katt_goddess Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 You would have lost your mind but there was someone selling a rebuilt Willy around here just last year. Looked frickin' mint condition - they did a very careful job. Even I was almost tempted to see about getting it but winters around here are not jeep-friendly in the least and something like this needed a garage to safely sit in at night.

And probably wanted a LOOOOT more than I could afford. Besides, my dream "classic Jeep" is a CJ-8 Scrambler.
God-Says-No Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 yea the world was blessed with an inferior vehicle in terms of hp/gas/design/ etc...
Rogue_Alphonse Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 yea the world was blessed with an inferior vehicle in terms of hp/gas/design/ etc... That big Jeep in my sig light-to-light raced a modded up Subaru BRZ... or should I say, it fucking WALKED that BRZ...
katt_goddess Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 And probably wanted a LOOOOT more than I could afford. I think it was under $10,000. I remember seeing it and thinking I could actually get it so it had to be a number I've seen in the past. But I also think it was one of those things where if they didn't want to sell to you, they wouldn't. They wanted it to go to someone who would actually appreciate the thing.

See, I can't own something like that. If I buy a rugged post WWII Jeep, I'm gonna wheel the bitch. Mainly because they are completely bonkers offroad... newer vehicles with more technology still can't go where they can.
