This was a day FULL of Jeeps for me!!!

First, on my way out on the town this morning the wife and I ran across a SWEET '52 IIRC lifted and freshly painted flat fender with a trailer for only $4400.. The wife REALLY liked it.. BUT, how would I get it back home??? (no pics)

Then, after some tax free shopping, I hit the "Lemon Lot" on the Air Force base.. There was a low mileage black on black fully loaded 98 ZJ with a V8 for $5500.. Thats a pretty good price here in WA.. I am looking for a DD to replace my 93 Grand Waggy ZJ that is back in TX.. BUT, once again, how would I get it back home?? (no pics)

Next, after leaving the base, I spotted a nice early 80's Cherokee getting taken off a trailer at a local junk yard. So, spun around and checked it out of course.. While I was there, I spotted a late 70's Cherokee with an almost complete black interior too. I made a post in the For Sale section for both of them..



Also, tucked in the corner of the yard was a FUNNY little flat fender.. It was fun to look at..


After leaving the junk yard, I spotted a '45 Willys Overland truck. I posted the details in the For Sale section also. I would love to buy it myself.. BUT, again,, how would I get it back home??


Last, right when I got home, my sister-in-law called to get some advise on a WJ that she wants to buy. I told her to get the dealership to let her to bring it home overnight. They did, and she is going to bring it over to let me check it out in the morning on her way back to the dealership.. Here are a couple dealership shots of it that I found on their website..





I wish I had the $$ and space for ALL the Jeeps that I find!! I LOVE them all!!

real nice day!!!! The Willys with the cap looks like a nice find though with those fenders it must be a "54 rather than a "45. that cap though looks like it might be an original too. I imagine the guys on the yahoo/willys site might like to know about it. If the cap is an original though it might be worth more to them than the "modified" truck. pity its so-o-o-o-o-o far away (and I'm already jeep-poor)

I'd figure, for any of them, there's something less than a $1000 premium to ship them to TX (anything drivable will be a little less). If you think they are worth the sale price + $1000, why not?
