Should I be working on the jeeps I already have Yes. Am I doing that, also yes. Do I like buying new jeeps? Absolutely YES! I wasnt even really looking, this just popped up in the comment section of a willys group on Facebook. Guy was local so I went and looked at it. Ended up being almost to good to be true. 1944 MB that as the story goes was a Mt hood fire jeep after WW2 so was painted from OD to red. The guy I bought it from was more of a WW2 tool nerd than a jeep guy. He was planning to restore back to military specs. Gave me a whole truck bed full of parts and pieces he had been collecting. Probably the best score I have made on a vehicle. We drove it onto my trailer with the starter because it wasnt running at his shop. A few mintues of work and some gas and it started right up, brakes feel great. Has a overdrive and ptos. I guess the only con is that it has a 1.8 pinto 4 banger in it, but nothing was hacked up to put it in, so a go devil will eventually drop into its place.
