Default 1976

I was there at Yaven creek in 1976 scrounging jeep parts .

I bought a 44 GPW in Tumut for $200 .. yes $200 . As we drove through Adelong we spotted a Jeep in a front yard .. it was for sale for $100 .. it was running , it had been a shooting buggy and the body was totally beyond help, but it had all the little goodies on it .

Kevin's neighbour down the road had a heap of 42 model Jeep stuff ... sorry but I got there first

At the time Kevin had a very nice original Humber 1 Tonner like Richard has and a beaut slatt grill Jeep , very straight body , it was unmolested . He also had the most original US Jeep trailer I've ever seen ... looked like it just left the factory .

memories .. Mike
