Jeeps you wish you had kept....
« on: June 24, 2009, 12:08:41 PM »
Ever had a Jeep that you wish you had never parted with ?

In my early twenties I had a 1976 CJ5, I paid $2200 for.
The thing was in prime shape and a steal for what I paid for it.
I loved the dang thing...it was my first Jeep after moving on from my Toyota FJ40.

To this day I still regret ever selling it  :-\

What about the rest of you ?

I have had a bunch of Jeeps I wish I still had. My first was my 1957 Willys Jeep Truck. I had it during my high school years in Edmonton. I had a Chev 327 V8 adapted to the T90A trans and it had 488 gears. I used to race the firebirds and Camaro's on 163 st in front of Jasper Place High School!...But I am rebuilding a 1954 currently, so it is like dejavou...only this time I am a little older and more responsible, so I am staying stock 226 Hurricane 6 cyl....lol
Jeepless at the moment, but still looking!

Everything is for sale....for the right price!  :D




I had a 1980 Grand Wagoneer that was dual fuel(propane/gas) that I miss. But what really chokes me is my old 1973 Dodge Club Cab short box 4X4. Never seen another like it. I know its not a Jeep but thats what I REALLY miss.  :'(

The only one I kinda wish I had kept because I learned an aweful lot of mechanical from it, was a '47 CJ2A. Had two others that I don't miss and the one I have now I'll never miss because its with me to stay. Its my coffin for future use. '84 CJ7 that I've had since'85. Took it down to the frame twice to go over it thoroughly and repaint the under carraige. Replaced the motor once with a HO 4liter from a 2000 TJ.

Wife knows that I get cremated, dumped in the ash tray, crushed in the jeep and buried in a small hole so I'll never miss it. So keep an eye open for small holes when you're out wheeling. ;D
