But who ends up with the Jeep? Give him beer and he will do it.

I drove it for a while, was fun... for a while... I'm a pick-up kinda guy... but it was a "freebie", and I was looking for a project was a cheap build... kid I sold it to still has it.. I built it in the late eighties... sold it in the early nineties... still goin, it's a 78 CJ-5.... 360, 3 speed... scary fast... them stock jeep bodies, sure like rot.

Oh I love it, almost the same deal as the one I had, '71 with a '86 350 3 speed...Scary fast in 2nd gear..Tore the body off, fiberglassed it up..full roll cage 33"*12 1/2" muddin tires.....God I loved that thing. The funny thing is I have a "model" jeep of my cj5 I built when I was 17 still sitting on my desk to this day... I felt like I had it all in those days, never ever put the top on it, just carried the bikini top under the seat for the rainy days. It could be in the 40's and I would already have the doors and top off....I shake my head when I see people driving them with the tops on...... First place I ever got some was my jeep... "Only in a Jeep".....
Man I miss the feeling
