She is currently in storage, where it has been sitting for 30 years. Before that it sat in a field. The memories of me and my friends pretending to be driving it or just checking it out. Before that I remember riding around in this Jeep with my father. I inherited it from him a few years ago and I am going to cherish her, along with all my memories. The biggest surprise I have found is the engine isn't correct. It's a classic swap not unusual for these old jeeps. Also found out that I have the optional ten springs in the front, along with the 5.38:1 gearing.

So this jeep is a family inheritance.  Makes it even more special.  Did the top do any favors in preserving the interior?  30 yrs in a field is rough.
