Title: Another M38 discovery
Post by: Ryan_M on January 22, 2015, 12:47:21 PM: I found this old girl today not too far from where I live. Sad to see them like this. The owner has a pile of Willys parts he's trying to sell but we just couldn't come to terms so I drove off empty-handed. I like knowing where the Willys are hiding though ;)

It would be nice to live in an area where you're constantly tripping all over Willys Jeeps... like children's toys laying all over the living room floor. >:(

Good luck on rescueing that one too.

I DID!! He's a GM guy and his eyes lit right up when I mentioned them. Upon further description, however, that light fadedï¿½ ï¿½:-/
