A bird, a plane ...a Jeep?
« on: June 14, 2011, 01:23:52 AM »
 I was driving through Moab, Utah, the other day I stopped just outside of town to take this photo. �There are no signs indicating a business. �It is just outside a junk yard (not really a auto wrecking yard because there are few cars, just lot of junk). I think the Jeep is to indicate old vehicle parts available or something. �Not much change since it was put up about a year ago. �Just thought it my be of interest to my 3A brothers, even though it's a 2A. �



 I checked to see if it's all there or just a shell. �The engine, drive train, etc., are all in place. �I've seen projects made of less of a Jeep than this. �Seems like the owner could sell it for enough to put up a sign.

He probably would need to obtain a special permit for a sign.  ;D

AAAH but you remember the flying jeep, and can you honestly remember the sign next door to this place?

Just a few miles from there at the HOLE IN THE ROCK  tourist attraction is another flatfende made into a display piece. That one is pretty stripped out and lightweight, If I can find my pics of it I will post. It is at the place that has the jeep covered in scrap metal.
Owner of the world famous?? Pintojeep 3A and one yet to be named stock project 3A.
Based in central TX and upstate NY.

It's been years since I stopped in at the Hole In The Rock.  I drive past it often.  I'll stop and see if I can find the poor Jeep made into a piece of modern art.  Please do post the pics if you find them. Thanks.
